w2k server/lan modem
I have a windows 2000 network with active directory. The ip address for my server is 192.168.1.1, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. My PCs have static ip addresses. I share the connection with 10 workstations using static ip addresses. The workstations use 3COM'S 56K LAN MODEM(attached to network adapter of 1 workstation) The lan modems address is the default gateway and primary dns on the workstation. The w2k server's address is set as the secondary dns. I can get internet access from these workstations and also the network resources. I have a workstation setup with administrative tools. I get access the internet from this workstation, but I cannot access active directory. If I make the wk2 server's address the primary dns, I cannot access the internet.

Why can't I access active directory and how do I correct.
Also, on some workstations, it takes a while before I can get an internet connection. I can ping the lan modem and get a response back. I received "page cannot be displayed"when I try to access the ie5.5.

Appreciate help from anyone familiar with "3COM 56K LAN MODEM WITH WINDOWS 2000 SERVER AND ACTIVE DIRECTORY"

The lan modem just like any modem takes a minute or so after the first request to connect to the internet. Then after the modem has processed it first request and is now connected you should be able to surf the web with no problems.
