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...

Hot Fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;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.

BTW personal note to you I'd really love to see you via the codeplex
bridge in the forums. You are family and I'm hoping you move over.

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.
