Hi everyone,
A friend of mine is setting up a small company to use SBS 2000. Currently
the only internet access available to them is either Cable (Non business
class) or dialup. What I am wondering is how well Exchange, and ISA are going
to work with a Dynamically assined IP from the ISP.
The basic configuration is: Server running SBS2000, 3 NICs, Soho3 Firewall,
16 Port 3Com Super Stack, 5 Win2k workstations, with Office 2000.
Because of the remote location, the Cable provider has no "business class"
services, just straight "end user" services. The Dialup ISP does offer
business class, but at a unreasonable cost.
I have already checked, and yes, the ports used by SBS are wide open from
the cable company, it is not going to block the use of the ports, but I am
wondering how it will work to try and sign a Domain dynamically. Is it even
possible to configure he new domain that way? The Soho with assign internal
Static IPs, but the router/Cable modem will be assigned a dynamic.
Any thought or suggestions on this would be appreciated.
