Re: AD, DHCP or maybe DNS problem?

Jorge,

What is a multihomed DC? What do I need to change on my server to mave this
work? Are you saying I shouldn't have WINS and DNS on the same computer?
FYI I uninstalled WINS and see the same problem, do I need to remove some
records somewhere?

As for configuring the DNS as you said I already had the interfaces set to
only use the local nic.

As for setting the binding order the internal nic was at the top of the
list. How do I check to see if file sharing is only on that NIC?

I had lowered the windows firewall but there was a Norton Firewall that was
preventing Laptop 2 from Filesharing. That now works. So both the desktop
and Laptop 2 have the same issues. They get an IP, can perform Fielsharing
but can't connect to the internet.

Thanks,
Greg

check:

Also, make sure the internal adapter is at the top of the binding order and
that File Sharing is only bound on the internal adapter.

- If the machines are running SP2 you need to open the FW to File share
access.
- Configure the Dns server to listen only on internal adpter (Open Dns
server mmc console -> Right click on Dns server -> choose properties -> goto
interfaces tab -> choose only the following IP Addresses, and make sure that
you only have the internal interface there)

Hi

- What O.S are you using for each Machine?
- Are you using some proxy device that denies internet access to some
users?
- Can you post here the results for ipconfig /all for each machine?

FYI: this is a double post because I want' sure which forum is was the
correct place to post this question. I have also posted on the technet
windows server general newsgroup but I think this is a better forum.

I have a 2003 Server Running as DHCP and DNS, I have 3 cleint
computers.
After adding each computer to the network I see 3 different result on
each
computer. I am using a 2 NIC setup and I have a switch after the
server. I
plan on using wireless but I see the same result with everything hard
wired
so lets stick with that. I have a 4 port switch that hard wires each
computer.

Laptop 1 - Works as expected, 1) gets IP address 2) can see the other
computers on the network thorugh Windows Explorer and perform fileshare
fine
3) Connects to the internet correctly.

Desktop 1 - Doens't work 1) gets IP Address 2) can see the other
computers
on the network thorugh Windows Explorer and fileshare fine 3) NO
INTERNET
CONNECTION?

Laptop 2 - Doesn't work 1) Gets IP Address 2) CAN'T SEE OTHER COMPUTERS
OR
FILESHARE, BUT I CAN PING THEM? 3) NO INTERNET CONNECTION

I have tried many things. I can unplug the cable from laptop 1 and
place
into either desktop 1 or laptop 2 and s/ same results. I can uplug
cable
from Either of the non working computers and they both work in Laptop
1.
So
that makes me think this has nothing to do with the hardware.

I'm not sure what else to tell you about, I can see Laptop 2 from the 3
Computers but can't actually open it up, but it does show up on the
list
of
for the Domain in win explorer.

As for the TCP/IP settings everything is exactly the same on each
client
computer.

In the Computers area of Active Directory everything is the same for
all
three computers.

Just to try it out I set up reserved leases for each NIC they work
fine,
each computer signs on and gets the resevered IP Address.

I have no idea where to go from here, please help.

Thanks in advance,
.
