Don't panic.

Log onto the server desktop, and from a command prompt - run ipconfig\all
and post the results here. Then get some sleep.

Once the configuration as it is now is known, then it won't be too hard
to
get it going again. Folks will be getting up in 5 or 6 hours and will be
able to help you. (I'm off to bed now) ;-).

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

Forgot to mention that the laptop can be pluggd in the switchbox, not
have
acces to internet but still can connect to remote server login page.
The ip address was changed and now is 192.168.0.103 for the internal
nic.
The DHCP shows that ip address in the address pool

003 Router 192.168.0.103
006 DNS Servers 192.168.0.103
015 DNS Domain Name yourcompany.local
044 WINS/NBNS Servers 192.168.0.103
