If you are using the built in dhcp server, then yes thats true. If you use
a
different dhcp server ie one running on your NT server/Linux box then what
i
said applies ;)

Might help if you give it the phone number ;)

Most isdn routers use NAT, you will find that the router also passes the
DNS
numbers assigned by your isp to each client, and the router assigns its own
internal ip to the clients as their gateway.  use ipconfig or winipcfg to
see the dns settings and gateway settings that the router is passing to
each
client.

Sometimes you need to troubleshoot tcp/ip networks, knowing who is doing
what to who helps ;)
