Re: Sharing a drive on my computer with others

Changing the DNS settings is what caused your problem. SBS 2003 needs to manage DNS and really likes to manage DHCP, and WINS. You need to use the wizards on the SBS server to get it all working properly. Any other route to setting up a SBS 2003 server will almost always fail. Rerun the CEICW wizard on the SBS server and see what happens. This should setup all the clients to use the SBS server for DHCP and DNS. Make sure you disable any other DHCP servers and all the clients are using DHCP. If this breaks the access to your web site then post back with more details. Changing the clients to use your ISP's DNS servers is not the correct fix. Another possible problem I see is you have two adapters in the server on the same subnet. This is not a recommended setup. Normally in a SBS server with two NICS the topology would be Router - Nic1 - SBS - NIC2 - Internal network. The router and NIC1 would be a different subnet from your internal network.

I have Zone Alarm installed on my computer and laptop.

I recentlly changed the DNS to my ISP's the DNS used to be 192.168.15.254
but that won't let publish up my web site to the new location or view my web
site. I took it out since it wouldn't view my personal web site.

Not that this matters but all computers say
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : jenkinshome.local


I can't ping any of the computers within the domain.

I think I messed up a setting when I took down the web site and moved it.

Thanks again for your hlep.

It sounds like the computers are either not joined to the domain or more
likely the DNS settings are misconfigured. Can you post the results of
ipconfig /all from one of the pc's and the server? Can you ping the server?
Can the computers ping each other? Do you have any 3rd party firewall
software on any of the computers?
