Re: DHCP and companyweb problems

Stuart,
Can you check the following on the client machines..
1) Are they only pointing to the SBS server for DNS?
2) Are they members of the SBS domain?
3) From a command prompt ping the name companyweb (ping companyweb) does it
resolve? Would suspect it wouldn't at this point.
4) From a command prompt ping the name companyweb.contoso.local. where the
contoso.local part is your AD domain name. (Note the trailing period on the
end. This is to make it a fully qualified domain name)
5) If you right click on My Computer and select Properties, then click on
the Computer Name what does it show for the Domain Name? It should be the
same as the SBS servers AD domain name.
As far as the PDA's go were you using the Internet domain name or the
servers internal name?
Are the clients able to get DHCP addresses now? If not, you may want to go
into ISA's mmc under the Monitoring/Logging and start up a live log and then
try to do an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew on a client machine
configured to use DHCP and then see if ISA a) shows the traffic and b) is it
allowing or denying it? Also, if you haven't already verify that the DHCP
Server/DHCP client services are running and set to automatic on the server.

Thanks for your reply David
I checked ISA and the DHCP settings are correct. I think there may be a
DNS
clue here though. The PDAs couldn't connect to the server to synchronize
with
Exchange using the exchange server name. However, once I changed it to the
IP
address, they worked fine.
On the server, I can just type 'companyweb' and get to
http://companyweb/default.aspx. This is correct.
On the clients, I type 'companyweb' and IE goes to the default serach
engine
- it would appear it can't resolve the name. When 'https://companyweb' is
used it is all fine.
This leaves me with a small problem on 'companyweb' but I can get round
that. None of the clients on the network seem to work without static IP
addresses - which is a problem.
Does this help explain better.
Great last name by the way.
Cheers

Stuart,
With respect to the DHCP, be sure to check in ISA under
servername/Configuration/Networks and double click on the Internal
network
(on the Networks tab) and then click on the Addresses tab. Be sure that
the
address range includes the broadcast address. For example, if you are
using
a 192.168.16.x IP range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 then the
Start
Address should be 192.168.16.0 and the End Address would be
192.168.16.255.
For companyweb, internally you can get to it using http://companyweb and
externally you can connect to it using https://fqdn:444 correct? Then, do
you really want users on the Internet connecting to the Intranet web site
(Companyweb) unencrypted?
By default, the /exchange virtual directory is configured to require SSL
to
connect, and SBS has an ISAPI filter in IIS that will redirect a user
that
enters in http://fqdn/exchange to https://fqdn/exchange so that the
connection will be encrypted using SSL.
It should also do the same for http://fqdn/remote as well.

I have SBS2003 SP1 with ISA2004 SP2 and Exchange SP2. All was working
fine
but web surfing was slowing down at clients.
Re-ran the SBS internet connection wizard, resetting the ISP DNS
servers
to
match those on the router. All other DNS settings point to the SBS box.
I independtly restarted DNS and DHCP.
Web surfing now back to normal. Two new problems:
1. Can't access the companyweb via http, but can with HTTP. I have
noticed
only HTTPS is given in the SBS created ISA rule. I can access via HTTP
on
the
server itself.
2. I am unable to 'repair' client NIC IP addressing to refesh their IP
address. I have had to manually assign all IP addresses and DNS
settings.
i..e DHCP no longer seems to be talking to the clients even though it
shown
as running on the server.
Any help gratefully received.
