Sorry if I don't have enough info, trying to help my wife with problems they are having at their office. This could possible be normal but I don't ever recall seeing or hearing it being this way.
They have a T1 line coming in to their office, a router(don't recall type) and then to a 3Com 16 port switch.
They have a 1 Windows 2000 server (using as simple file server now) and about a dozen XP desktops/laptops.
They are all setup with DHCP addresses coming from the router.
Question: Why is it when I try to ping another computer (e.g. the server) it shows it's trying to ping their External IP Address and not the Internal 192.168.x.x address?
The first time I could not get a reply from the server but after I did a DNS Flush and DNS Register, I finally got a reply from the server but it still show an External IP address.
