Re: Urgent! New router and big disaster

It looks like new router configuration was different from one that died.
Post output of "ipconfig /all" from server and one workstation connected to
24 port switch.
Should be able to give you simple instructions to get back to where you
where before this incident.

quick brief on orginal setup
Dell Power 1800 server running SBS2003 standard with 2 nics
1 D-link 8 port router & 1- 24 port switch
D-link connected to ISP with a stactic ip and server- onbard nic connected
to switch.
Orginal install went off with out a hitch including all updates ect. For a
week clients could communicate with server.

Yesterday the router dies, and I quickly swapted it with another D-link
router this one smaller -only a four port. When the router died, other
than
no internet access, the client machines could still connect to server.
After I swaped the router everything was still fine.

This morning, I had to go clean up my network room and wires. During this
I
shut down the server, and removed of from the room. It was down for about
5
hours.
Then I set it back up, all the same- i didn't touch a setting, and now my
clients can't login. The administrator can log in client machines,
release/renew the ip address, look at network places, see the server but
cant
connect. No internet access either.

Okay so back at the server -no internet connection but can see the
internal
website. The external nic is set to auto get ip from router, but the
primary
dns is the ip address of the local nic. When I change that to the ip of
the
router I can get internet on the server. Ran the CEICW... doh! The wizard
poped up with that the router is a plug in play and it wanted to configure
it. Now everything is so totally messed.
I cant get any clients to log in but when i set the ip on the external nic
back to the router ip, I can reach the remote server login page on my
laptop.
I have ran the change server ip wizard, but nothing.

Please I need to have this whole thing back up and running by Mon.
morning,
so please give very deatiled instructions if ya got them. I have been
going
on less than 3 hours sleep, and if you can come up with a less than
perfect
quick fix until next weekend, I am all ears.

Thanks
