One box running Windows server 2003 Domain controller with Exchange 2003 2 NIC's card 1-to the DSL modem and 1-inside Lan using basic windows firewall.

When i installed Windows Server SP1 the NIC card connected to the DSL modem says aquiring IP address and will not connect to the internet.
Why does it do that and how do i fix it?

This might be very basic, but have you checked to see if there is an updated driver for the NIC in question?

But i need to install SP1 any work around with it installed?

NIC drivers? Hmmm...

Will try that.

I guess 2003 sp1 includes the XP type firewall. Are you certain it is not turned on and blocking your NIC from getting DHCP or something of that nature? Also make sure you reboot youre DSL router...and if updated NIC drivers don't work, just try replacing the NIC with a different model.
