We can start by correcting the nic configuration on the server. (inline)

O I wish.... Anyway, here is the info...

From Server
Host name:me-ser-1
primary dns suffix: muellerelectric.local
node type : unknowen
ip routing enabled: yes
win proxy enabled; yes
dns suffix search list: MuellerElectrical.local


The following nic is the one connected to your router, right? Make sure
of that by unplugging the cat cable an noting which nic becomes
disconnected.


Ethernet adapter network connections
connection Specific dns suffix:
Decsription: broadcom Netextream gigabit ethernet
Physcial address: 00-10-18-18-31-C2
DHCP Enabled: yes
Autoconfig Enabled : yes

Change to DHCP enabled: no

ip address 192.168.0.100
subnet mask:255.255.255.0
default gatway:192.168.0.1
dhcp server:192.168.0.1

You won't need the DHCP server entry, as you are doing manual
configuration.

dns server: 192.168.0.1

Change the DNS server IP to the IP of the other nic - 192.168.1.103


Ethernet adapter Server local area connection:
Connection specific DNS Suffix:
description: intel pro/1000 my network connection
physical address :00-14-22-B4-12-Ce
dhcp enabled : no
ip address 192.168.1.103
subnet mask:255.255.255.0
default gateway:
dns server 192.168.1.103
primary wins server 192.168.1.103

Now, run the Connect to the Internet Wizard. If UPnP is offered, decline
it. If you know your ISPs DNS server IP(s), you can enter them in the
wizard - if you don't know them then leave them blank. If the CEICW
reports any errors, then post them here. If not, then go to a workstation
and from a command prompt - enter ipconfig /release <enter> and then
ipconfig /renew <enter>, and then ipconfig /all - and post the results
here. May as well do an ipconfig at the server as well.

In Server Management | Advanced Management | Computer Management |
Services and Applications | DHCP | Scope <ipaddress>, what is the ip
address scope shown in <ipaddress>?

Move down and click on Scope Options - what is shown there?



Client Station

Host name : Station-2
Primary DNS Suffix:
Node Type: Broadcast:IP Routing :no
WINS Proxy Enabled: NO

Connect-Specifif DNS Duffix"
Description : 3Com
Physical Address: 00.01.02.36.F2.D7
DHCP enabled: Yes
Auto Config: Yes
Auto Cinfig IP: 169.254.72.4
Default Gatway 255.255.0.0
DNS Servers:



Thanks a million for the help!

I'm going on 3 hours sleep and probably getting quite stupid, I'll
post
the
IP Configs for all in the morning- I gotta get to bed.
Thanks for the quick replys

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
