From: cturner122 on

Hello,

I need some help - whenever I reboot my SBS2008 Server, (specifically
after installing updates requiring a reboot), I lose internet
connectivity.

I have to run the "fix my network" wizard each time twice. The first
time to have an Fixed IP re-assigned to the server (Internet
Connectivity then comes back) and then the second time to correct
problems found with IPv6.

As long as I am at the console this is not a big deal, however if I am
administering remotely, this is a big issue.

Is this normal? Doesn't seem like it should be.

Thanks everyone!

Chris

I reboot my SBS 2008 remotely as often as I need to. Several times
yesterday for applying Exchange 2007 SP2 and the subsequent roll-up.

I've never had the problems you describe--so something is definitely not
right.

Apparenty cturner122 had posted 3 separate times with new posts in
techarena. I clicked on the 'view this thread' out of curiosity, and they
are actually 3 seaprate links, and the first one that you replied to, no
longer exists, as if it was pulled or something. So that's why the poster
can't see them.

Another good reason to AVOID techarena and use a real newsreader, or use the
Microsoft Social forums.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your post and Larry's suggestion.

In addition to SBS 2008 BPA that you should run first, I also would like
suggest you double check your network topology, check the local IP address on
the server, use a static Internet IP addresses. If the issue persists, please
rerun the Connect to the Internet Wizard (CTIW) again.

Changing the local IP address on the server:
During installation Windows SBS 2008 searches for a router. If it finds a
router that has a valid IP address, Setup configures the local network
adapter on the server with a static IP address in the same range as the
router. For example, if the router's internal network port IP address is
192.168.1.1, then the server's IP address is 192.168.1.2. All network-related
services are set up to use IP addresses in the same range.
If you must change the static IP address on the server to a new subnet for
any reason, you must also change the static IP address on the internal
network port on the router, and then run the Fix My Network Wizard to ensure
that all network services use the new IP address range.

Using IPv6:
During Windows SBS 2008 installation, a static Internet Protocol version 6
(IPv6) address is automatically configured on the server. Because many
applications are programmed to use IPv4, Windows SBS 2008 runs IPv4 and IPv6
on the same network, either wired or wireless. Windows SBS 2008 also
configures DHCP and DNS for IPv6. For the server to use IPv6 to reach the
Internet, you must have a stateless, autoconfigured IPv6 router connecting
your local network to the Internet.

Hope this helps. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to let me know.
