Re: DNS server and ICS conflict on 2k3 server



Hello Harmjan,

You have choosen the badest option for configuring a DC. Multihoming creates lot's of problems. Also ICS on a DC is not optimal. Disable it. Connect all machines to a switch and also the server with only one NIC or use teaming if it is supported form the hardware vendor. Then connect the switch to the router. The other NIC of the DC disable. Then configure the FORWARDERS tab under the DNS server properties in the DNS management console to the ISP's DNS server.

Best regards

I think I have a quite common problem but cannot seem to fix this...

I run a 2k3 server with DNS, DHCP and AD.
I have 4 client computers who contact this server directly.
The server has 2 NIC's, one for the internal network, set on
192.168.0.1
The other nic is automatic and goes to my ISP.
the second nic has ICS enabled.
at start this works quite good but afer a few hours the internet
connection
is lost throughout the whole network (including the server) and the
server
cannot be contacted from an external connection.
All internal connections work fine.
Also when running IPconfig on the server everything seems to be fine
but no internet.

I have read about conflicts between ICS and DNS servers but I need my
DNS
server for GPO's.
It has worked perfectly fine before but since I installed the new
server
this problem keeps getting back and I can't seem to find the problem.
I hope this is a common problem and maby someone can answer this quite
easily. Im not that good with this kind of configurations...

Many thanx
