Interesting: Default Gateway setting disappearing - SBS 2008

Interesting issue (resolved now) on SBS 2008. The server has been online
for a month, no software changes, but, as of yesterday sometime, the IP4
Default Gateway Address has been changing to nulls.

There appears to be a MS Hot Fix as well as documenting that the
registry setting for the NIC Port gets corrupted - I looked in the
registry and found that the NIC default Gateway had 3 lines, a blank
line, the IP line, and another blank line. All other IP settings were a
single line with a CRLF at the end (carriage return/line-feed).

I hand edited the registry setting for the NIC and let it run a couple
hours, seemed to hold, rebooted and it seemed to hold.

Found the HOT fix and applied it, rebooted and it held, seems to have
been fixed...

default-gateway-on-sbs-2008-every-time-you-reboot.aspx

Hot Fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;973243

The server has ALL updates and Optional Updates, etc...

Strange that this would happen now, after all this time.

There's some set of trigger events that is causing this... that is still
in investigation.

I might move over, but I was on Usenet before MS ruined it and changed
Outhouse to allow Usenet access. This group is here for a long time,
just can't see adding another interface to something that doesn't
properly account for headers, threading, etc...

Try the codeplex bridge. I'm using it with Thunderbird.

Like I said you are family and part of this community and I'd miss you
not being there.

Seconded.

Ok, Ok, Ok, I'll see if I can get it installed Sunday....

It would be sad to not see the family on a frequent basis.

Thank you!

The install is fairly quick--but although the current build has been stable
for more than 24 hours, it is still worth watching for updates, say, once a
week--particularly if you post code in developer groups. The update process
is: Close the bridge, download the new build, run the installer, then start
the bridge. The installer takes care of removing the previous build as long
as it is not running.

As a side question, does this mean that the headers will show my IP as
well as my MS Identity or can I remain anonymous like I do now?
