Hi Jim

The 192.0.0.x network was the numbering system used on our old UNIX system
15 years ago - it has just been carried forward ever since.

As to why spend the time when the important things are working - call it
personal interest and the fact that NOT everything of importance is on my
SBS server.

If you look back in the newsgroup, I followed all the recommendations
including the static pool. In my case, VPN clients need to connect to an
application server within the SBS domain (not the SBS server). All in the
garden was rosy and I had no issues :-)

Then suddenly (most poular word in insurance claims!) at the end of November
2003 it stopped working. Remote clients could not see beyond the SBS server
and so could not connect to the application server.

After a few days flailing about, help from this newsgroup (thanks Chad)
advised me to try moving away from the static group towards assigning
addresses by DHCP. Connectivity was restored and the panic was over - but it
was not the same connectivity as before and I was still left with the
questions:

1) why had it gone wrong in the first place
2) why doesn't the recommended setup work in my situation

Like many SBS'ers, we do not have dedicated IT staff and I prefer to be able
to forget about the system and get on with the day job of running the
business. To me this basically means use all the default settings and
recommendations, and keep away from bespoke fixes because they are likely to
bite you sometime in the future when you have completely forgotten the fix
that was required or even what it was for.

So, I kept looking to try to get back to the recommended set up (static
pool) and full connectivity.

I found that if I changed the fixed IP address of the application server and
replaced it with a reservation in DHCP, this enabled me to return to using
a static pool. Note - exclusions do not work.

At this stage I am basically back on the recommended set up except for the
fact that I can't browse - so long as I know what I want to connect to, I
can. As you point out, there is now little to gain from spending time on the
problem...... and in addition you confirm what many others have said: that
while you have the same issue, the preferred solution is just not to worry
about it.

I had just about reached this frame of mind when I came across KB830063 (not
surprising since it was only published at the end of Feb 04). This actually
refers to the symptom directly and fingers SP3 as the culprit. However it
contradicts the "gospel" according to KB292822 - it deletes the
DisableNetBiosoverTCPIP registry setting, wants you to enable NetBios over
TCP/IP on the External NIC, and advises you MUST use a static pool.

When I posted this on this newsgroup, the reaction was that Microsoft had
got it wrong (from no less a source than Jeff Middleton) and that there must
be something else wrong with my setup.

What I am trying to do (with Marina's much appreciated help) is try to
ascertain if it is indeed my setup that is wrong or if, in fact, it is
KB292822 which is wrong and needs to be updated with KB830063.

Currently, despite Jeff and Marina's protestations, my money is on KB830063
and unless I see any reason otherwise, I will be applying the fix
recommended there and hopefully forgetting about my SBS server until the
next time something "suddenly" happens.

See what you think
