RE: Changing from DCHP to static IP address

The wizards do an exceptional job. You configure your Internet connections
and set up all ICS settings for your desired connections (VPN, FTP, Telnet,
OWA, etc.). The wizards work and try to stick with the defaults as much as
possible.

Best of Luck with your server.

This is for SBS2003 standard edition.

So, after doing the wizards it should set up the proper configurations
without doing anything else?

Eric,

Is this for SBS2003? If so, use the wizards to setup the network
connections, especially if you are "ServerIlliterate".

What you SHOULD see after running the wizards, you should have the following:

On your OUTSIDE (Internet) adapter, you should have the following configured:
IP Address: 69.15.69.202
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
Default Gateway: 69.15.69.201
Primary DNS IP Address: 192.168.16.2

On your INSIDE (Client Workstations) adapter, you should have the following
configured:


IP Address ................................: 192.168.16.2
Subnet Mask .............................: 255.255.255.0
Defualt Gateway ........................: (Blank)
DNS Servers .............................: 192.168.16.2

You also need to add the ISP's DNS addresses (66.180.96.12 and 66.238.96.12)
to the forwarders tab of your DNS. (Run a few tests after adding and
enabling the forwarders.)

Also, in your DHCP scope options, you will have your router set to
192.168.16.2, DNS set to 192.168.16.2, and the scope will have a range of
192.168.16.20 thru 192.168.16.50 (or any range with 192.168.16.x -
192.168.16.y with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask).

MAKE SURE that the ONLY place you see your ISP's DNS addresses are in the
forwarders tab of DNS. NO WORKSTATION or SERVER should have these in the
TCP/IP settings. If they are in there, your AD will not be properly updated
and over time, you will experience strange network connectivity issues.

As far as ftp and VPN are concerned, you didn't mention if it was standard
or premium (or SBS2003) and the settings and methods of allowing access
differ between the ICS and ISA configurations.

I hope this was helpful.

Good Luck!

I requested and recieved a public IP address from my ISP and want to
reconfigure my network for the Static IP and have the server run DHCP to the
client computers. I have a router installed and want to just hook the server
up directly and use the firewall there to control everything. I also want to
have the server run DHCP to the internal clients(this I think I already setup
and is operating due to the complete funcationality of the internal clients
as they are setup now).


This is what my ISP is showing on their end:

How do I set everything up to ensure it is complete and properly setup.

After I set these settings what services do i need to start or have started
to allow ftp, VPN etc...?


I am guessing i reset the external nic to the proper settings and just roll
from there after I make sure the routing service is properly
configured?(routing service is on in server mgmt)

I tried it once and got the server onto the internet by removing the router
and manually configuring the External NIC but then I lost the internal
network.

Sorry this is so long, I wanted to make sure everythig possible is availabe
on the first post. Many of these posts go on and on asking for just
information and multipole posts until they get to the actual porblem.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric
