Hey Everyone, I'm really in a pickle and new to networking. I'm running a computer lab for an afterschool program and all the computers are run through a proxy server that filters internet content and blocks email. I have to use email on my desktop however, so my desktop has 2 IPs, the first ip is the same as all the kids computers (it connects via the firewall) the second connects directly to the internet (using one network card). The WAN driver shows up and is visible, and is enabled, but there are not packets being sent or received, any ideas? Thanks for the help! - Ron

      No just one Network Card.

      Also, here is an update.

      I went back and reconfigured the WAN driver (using the unblocked IP addy). Now outlook uses the unblocked IP and everhything is fine, but the Internet Explorer (and mozilla) won't work using the unblocked IP but will work using the filtered IP. Weird huh? Ideas?

          Ok, I think I figured this one out.

          So when I manually tried to add the unfiltered IP it wouldn't work. When I kept I unchecked all the boxes on the LAN connection in IE it automatically logged onto the ufiltered IP. Then I set up my second browser and manually loaded the filtered IP, now everything works. I have no idea why, but at least it now works. Thanks- Chai : )
