From: GoldStar on 8 Aug 2010 10:58 SBS2003 with 5 PCs - I cannot ping with IP address or Names although clients can read directory on server. Up until yesterday DHCP was dishing out leases and today, it didn't. Gave up in the end. Any pointer as to where I could find info as to what could be wrong
From: Larry Struckmeyer[SBS-MVP] on 8 Aug 2010 11:44 What has changed? Is the DHCP server started on the SBS? From any station, what is the ip address shown with ipconfig /all If you type it this way: ipconfig /all > c:\iptest.txt you will get a text file in the root of C that you can open with notpad and post back the contents. -Larry -Please post the resolution to your issue so others may benefit. -Get Your SBS Health Check at www.sbsbpa.com > SBS2003 with 5 PCs - I cannot ping with IP address or Names although > clients can read directory on server.

From: Kerry Brown on 8 Aug 2010 19:48 SBS will disable DHCP if it sees another DHCP server on the network. Coupled with the name resolution problem I'd suspect another DHCP server is giving out leases with the wrong DNS options. Have you recently added a new router, wireless access point, reset the router etc? -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ "GoldStar" <balluboy(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:D70B4E71-A9E2-4E1B-A407-3FFDE41AA70D(a)microsoft.com... > SBS2003 with 5 PCs - I cannot ping with IP address or Names although > clients can read directory on server.

From: GoldStar on 9 Aug 2010 06:26 Yes, I did change the router because the last one packed up but settings are exactly same and DHCP on router was turned off before being installed. DHCP on SBS2003 is running but not giving out leases - because clients cannot see the server.

If the stations are not getting IPs from the SBS DHCP they are not physically connected or there is a process on the stations that prevents it. Not much else it can be. Verify that there is no "internet security" or other such stuff running on the stations, and give one of them a static IP in the same range as the SBS internal nic. You will not be required to reboot, but you can if you wish. Now try to ping the server by ip and by name. -Please post the resolution to your issue so others may benefit. -Get Your SBS Health Check at www.sbsbpa.com |
