W2K server cannot access internet via WS2K3 box with ICS

[kujar]

I am running a Windows Server 2003 SE stand alone server to provide
broadband Internet access using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to a
number of workstations and a server. The Windows XP and ME workstations
obtain the IP address from the ICS DHCP 'server' and are able to access the
Internet without any problems. The server, which is Windows 2000 SP4 server
cannot obtain an IP address from the ICS DHCP 'server' and so gets an apipa
address.

When I add a static address in the 192.168.0.0/8 subnet the Windows 2000
server cannot ping any workstation or the ICS box on the subnet nor can it
be pinged from any workstation or the ICS server.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening would be much appreciated.

Don't know why the Win2k server cannot get an address from the ICS server.
But, if you are going to manually configure the address, use 192.168.0.0/24.

My mistake, that is exactly what I did (192.168.0.0/24) and I cannot ping
anything, not even a printer on the same subnet. Did SP4 install any changes
like setting ipsec? This server used to pick up an IP address from an XP
workstation which used to run ICS via dial-up.
