Windows 2003 Server internet connection keeps dropping NAT

I'm a Win2003 Server newbie so please be patient...

I have two Windows 2003 Servers. The primary has two NIC's, one
connected to the internal network, one to the internet via DSL
connection. I can run the Qwest DSL setup and get the DSL connection
working but 5-10 minutes after that the internet connection stops
working, I can't ping or connect to anything from either the server or
any client machine.

I've run through How to configure Network Address Translation in
Windows Server 2003 from MS. I've checked the error logs (nothing).
I've disabled the firewall on the client but as I mentioned this
behavior is also present on the server.

Any help figuring out why the internet connection keeps dropping would
be greatly appreciated.

It was actually fairly simple---the IP address of the server was
conflicting with the IP address assigned to it by the DSL ISP. All I
had to do was change the IP address of the server to something which
didn't conflict and it worked.
