Prev: Windows 7 register to Windows Server 2003 domain server problem

Hello,

I have a small Windows Server 2003 Server running IIS 6. In turn this
runs 3 websites.

The Server is also a domain controller.

When I try access one of my websites from an external computer, the
internet drops on the server, subsequently meaning that the internet on
all my clients drops and they have no access to their documents etc.

I see great benefits in hosting my own websites but this is just a
nuisance.

Does anyone know a potential fix for this problem??

Thanks Matt

Hello Matthew,

This configuration sounds horrible. A domain controller should never be multihomed
and connected to the internet. Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from
it and also a problem domain client. Seems that DNS is one of your problems
with accessing them.

Best regards

You may be right, but what in the OP's post made you think it was
multihomed?

To the OP: multihomed implies two or more network cards in your server,
typically one for the internet and one of the LAN. If your server is
multihomed then its worth having a long and hard think over whether it needs
to be, as multihoming seems to be the cause of many network woes. (Which my
be why Meinolf suggested or recognised it.)

Hi Guys, sorry got the problem sorted. One of the websites I was hosting
was quite bulky with alot of images on the front page causing the load
of the page to hang meaning the internet dropped.

I cut down the images on the front page and it cleared it up.

(Oh and by the way it isn't multihomed)

Thanks anyway,
Matt
