From: Lassiter on
I ran CEICW because I've been having problems getting a stable internet
connection on the SBS 2003 R2 server. We had an error with the Metabase.xml
file that I repaired w/ an older version of the file, which fixed the error
but maybe caused a config issue? not sure.

Regarding running CEICW - I did this and it now has eliminated all web
browser access ie. http. We do have client access to the server for file
sharing still... so the intranet LAN part seems fine.

We have a 2 NIC setup and here is a partial output of "ipconfig /all":

LAN Adapter:
DHCP Enabled: no
IP Address: our local DHCP server - 192.168.1.250
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: blank
DNS: 192.168.1.250
WINS: 192.168.1.250

Network Adapter:
DHCP Enabled: no
IP Address: Fixed IP from dsl ISP provider
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: blank (don't know why this is blank when I have the local
router IP address, 192.168.1.1, entered and showing in the card settings)
DNS: 192.168.1.250
Netbios over TCPIP: disabled

I have the server as our DHCP and not the router. Also, the DNS on the
server seems fine because all clients have access to files on the server and
print sharing, there are no event errors with it.

When I change the router back to provide DHCP I can get internet on the
linksys/cisco WRVS4400n router if I connect a laptop direct to it. I can't
determine if this is a router setting issue or a server setting w/ regards to
DHCP.

I have configured the router with all the fixed IP settings and DNS info
given to me by our ISP and done needed port forwarding to our server
192.168.1.250

Our router is plugged into the network adapter on the server; and the LAN
adapter on the server is plugged into our switch feeding the rest of the
clients.

I have also updated the network adapter's drivers today witch did not seem
to help.

I have also gone through the 2 NIC adapter settings manually a few times to
confirm settings and w/ CEICW, and one thing that bothers me is the correct
default gateway settings. I've used, like the setup as told me, the IP of
our router, 192.168.1.1 Should this be something different? if so, what? and
on both cards or just one?

Any suggestions? or am I configuring something wrong here? thanks

Looks to me like you've got quite a few things configured incorrectly.

For example, you have given your server your public IP address (or so your
ipconfig implies) but unless you've configured your router in bridged mode,
the router should (and apparently does) hold this IP. So you now have two
devices on the same network segment with the same IP. Very bad.

You also say you've configured your router to forward traffic 192.168.1.250,
but that is the IP on your LAN card which the router is not connected to, so
that fowarding will fail.

So I can tell you what is wrong, but without knowing a lot more about your
network and your desired configuration, I can't tell you how to fix it with
any detail. Hopefully I've provided enough info that you can figure it out
conceptually on your own. If not, I strongly recommend calling in a
consultant to help clean things up.

Lassiter:

Please review my reply to your post under the thread:

Errors under the Event Viewer - System Log

I suggest that if you make the modifications I have mentioned, you run the
ipconfig/all > c:\iptest.txt command and start a new thread with the issues
that remain and the output of that command.

Don't forget to run the CEICW after making all the adjustments to your network
settings.

From: jasbryan on

If your using the WRVS4400N as your default gateway , it should have
your public ip address. In the WRVS4400N you will need to enable DHCP
relay and point it back to your DHCP SBS SERVER. From there make sure
your SBS server has proper nic settings and you should be able to get
over the internet. Also verify under DHCP SERVER SETTINGS has the right
(Gateway/router) Settings.

Thanks,
Jason
