CP NG AI R55 - dynamic external IP

[BB]

Can anyone point me in the direction of documentation for the following? I
am running R55 on Win2003. I have three workstations that need internet
access. I have one IIS box and of course the firewall. I am connected to
the internet via cable modem. The extenal IP is obtained via DHCP. It is
fairly static but certainly subject to change. The internal IP is static.
(two NICs total). I currently have the firewall running and performing
adequately. However, it is configured as though the external IP is static.
I am looking for help on accomplishing this task.

I am fairly new to firewalls from a technical perspective (I'm an IT
manager) so this is a daunting task at this point. I'm taking this as an
opportunity to dig in and learn more about CP. So far so good. I managed
to get CP up and running and serving my needs. My hurdle now is the dynamic
external IP. I hope I have provided enough info for someone to point me in
the right direction.

thanks in advance.

I actually am seeking information, is R55 supported on Windows 2003? I know
it wasn't on R54.

Its officially supported. If you have a software subscription just login
and
you'll see Win2003 Server listed as one of the supported OS for R55.

Brad,
Hmm... I suppose you're running your R55 box on 15-day-trial mode?
With a dynamic external IP, I cannot think of an elegant way of licensing
your gateway (in local or central licensing modes). Sorry...
