Hi,
I have the following situation
BB modem <--> NIC1 in serverPC
HUB<-->LAN NIC2 in server PC
HUB<-->LAN NIC3 in client1 pc
HUB<-_>LAN NIC4 in client2 pc
All have W2K, server has Zonealarm 3.5 freeversion
Used WinProxy free version on Server

NIC1 dhcp on, no networksharing (ICS). services :TCP/IP
NIC2 dhcp off , IP 192.168.0.1 No ICS. services : Netbui, TCP/IP no Gateway

NIC3 dhcp off, IP 192.168.0.2 No ICS. services : Netbui, TCP/IP Gateway 192.168.0.2, IE5 under Tools connection LAN proxy 192.168.0.1 port 3128 (as set in Winproxy)

It all works a while and then locks. Reset the IP of NIC2 and it goes again for a while. The effect is the same for the server or client pc's. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or give me a hint? Is Zonealarm configured right with the default settings and IP's 192.168.0.1-4 added to trusted zone?
I would greatly appreciate help as I am getting pretty desparate after a week of trying.
Cheers maurice
