Re: No http access - server 2003

"I cannot retrieve a web page by IP address" because this is multihomed computer using the same IP range and two gateways, which also is not recommended.

1. If VPN server is behind a firewall or router, you don't need setup it as a multihomed computer.
2. If this is DC, it is not recommended to setup as VPN.
3. You should setup a DNS in the server with private IP address. In this case both WAN and LAN are using the same IP range. This is the problem.
4. If you do want to setup the server as router with two NICs enabled, the LAN default gateway should be blank.

Thanks for the response

I'm not exactly clear on what you are recommending -

What should I have as the DNS for the WAN (.11) and the LAN (.10) ports - both the same or what?

ALSO - I am puzzled by the fact that I cannot retrieve a web page by IP address (I seemed to think this pointed away from a DNS problem) BUT WSUS is working OK somehow

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 127.0.0.1 is the problem. It is recommended to setup the DC as DNS and don't use 172.0.0.1 or ISP DNS. This search result may help too.

Since this is multihomed computer, posting the results of ipconfig /all and routing table here may help.

I have a server running 2003. The server has 2 NICs one for the LAN, the other for VPN. Everything was working OK until about a month ago. To the best of my knowledge I did not change anything other than there have been Microsoft updates installed which might have caused this.

While the rest of the network appears to be working OK, I cannot access web pages in IE or ping internet addresses from the server.

The server IS still able to contact MS for WSUS - no apparent errors there I can access the server remotely using the VPN - again no apparent problem

The antivirus management software (AVG) is NOT able to download updates -- the client machines on the network fall back to downloading directly from the internet.

The server connects to the internet through a Linksys router which has the server's VPN port in the DMZ

I really don't know where to look for this problem since it is communicating via the internet, just not http requests maybe?
