Default Gateway Designated on SBS Not Needed

ID: Q187521

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server versions 4.0, 4.0a

SYMPTOMS

During the installation of Small Business Server 4.0 or 4.0a, a static IP address is assigned to the server as well as a default gateway. These address assignments are for the internal network use.

Because a connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) is made through Proxy Server, the default gateway setting is considered a dead gateway and is not necessary. These settings can be changed manually after the successful installation; however, they cannot be changed or removed during installation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in BackOffice Small Business Server 4.0 and 4.0a.
