I'm having trouble with a private addressing scheme. I have set up a win98 machine with a private address (192.168.0.30). On our server, which still has a static, public IP, I bound a private address to TCP/IP (192.168.0.1). Now, on the win98 machine, it is set to point to the server as a proxy. I can access the internet, but now Outlook cannot connect to the mail server at our ISP. This was not a problem when I had a public IP on the win98 machine. What issues do I need to look at here?

Our server is NT4. We run Fool Proof internet filtering software on it, which acts as our proxy. The test machine we configured can access all network resources, as well as the internet through this, but e-mail client on the machine can't seem to connect to the mail server. Need suggestions as to what issues I need to be looking at.
