RE: SBS 2003 loses internet connection regularly after apllying SP

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your update.

Yes, you are right. For the Router provides DHCP service, the Default
Gateway of the NIC on the server box should be Router's internal IP address.

And the internal client computer's NIC and NIC of the server box should use
the internal DNS Service (the NIC IP of the SBS server) as the DNS Server.
And there is only the DNS server be configured on client computers.

The option "Enable LMHOSTS lookup" should be checked.

You take a screen shot of the output for me.

To make a screen shot:

A. Press Alt + Pr Scrn to capture a screen shot.
B. From Start, go to Run, enter pbrush in the Open box, and then click OK.
C. Use Ctrl + V to paste the screen shot to the canvas.
D. From the File menu, go to Save and save as a JPG file.

Also you can save the output of the DOS as follows:

1. Click button in the left top of the DOS interface, choose Edit -> Mark,
then mark the content you want to copy.
2. Then please choose Edit -> Copy, in this way, you can paste the content
to file you want to save.

I appreciate your time!

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your update.

I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand that
the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals to
answer your systems and applications questions. Your understanding is
greatly appreciated!

Let us perform the following tests to try to trouble shoot the issue:

1. Please verify the following settings to see if the issue can be
resolved:

I. Please double check DNS and Gateway settings:

1. Leave the Default Gateway of the internal NIC blank of the server box.
2. Configure the internal client computer's NIC and both NICs of the
server
box to use the internal DNS Service (the internal NIC IP) as the DNS
Server. And there is only the DNS server be configured on client computers.

II. Please ensure enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on client computers, please
check the settings.

1. Right-click My Network Places, and then click Properties.
2. Right-click the external network adapter''s Local Area Connection icon,
and then click Properties.
3. Click Internet Protocl (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
4. Click Advanced.
5. Click the WINS tab.
6. Click "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP".
7. Click OK, click OK, and then click OK.

2. Please run command "ipconfig /all" (no quotation marks) respectively on
the SBS server box and one client workstation and email them to me.

3. When the issue happens, please use the NSLookup tool to verify that DNS
entries are correctly registered in DNS and you can access the appropriate
DNS records from this workstation. Please paste the output in the
newsgroup
or mail me.

For more information, please refer to the following Knowledge Base Article:
Using NSlookup.exe
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=200525

4. When the issue happens, please try to ping one external web site using
IP address from one workstation, what is the result?

Please note: please use the external web site's IP address rather that
FQDN
to test.

4. Have you installed ISA on the SBS server box? If yes, please help me
collect ISA info and firewall logs when the issue happens.

Use the ISAinfo utility to collect the ISA configuration information:

a. Download the file from the following URL:
http://www.isatools.org/isainfo/ISAInfo.zip
b. Extract all files to a folder on ISA server
c. Double click Isainfo.js. This will generate 2 files
ISAInfo2004-<computer-name>.log and ISAInfo2004-<computer-name>.xml in the
current folder.
d. Please send these files to me at v-yanniw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

4. Gather the ISA Web Proxy and Firewall service logs when reproducing the
problem:

Enable the full Web Proxy/firewall logging option:
a. Open ISA 2004 management console.
b. Expand the server node and highlight ''Monitoring''.
c. In the right pane, switch to the ''Logging'' tab, make sure the ''Task
Pane'' is showed there.
d. In the ''Task Pane'', click ''Configure Web Proxy Logging'' under
''Logging Tasks'', and then switch the ''log storage format'' from ''MSDE
database'' (default) to ''File''.
e. Switch to the ''Fields'' tab, and then click ''Select All''.
f. Click OK, and then click ''Apply'' to save changes and update the
configuration.
g. Click ''Configure Firewall Logging''. Do step d~f to enable the full
logging options for firewall logging.

Prepare to take the trace:
a. Temporarily stop the Firewall service to clear the current existing W3C
logs: Monitoring->Services tab, and then right click ''Microsoft
Firewall''
to choose ''Stop''.
b. Go to the log saving directory and clean any existing .W3C logs. By
default, the logs will be saved to ''C:\Program Files\Microsoft ISA
Server\ISALogs''. (Some MDF may not be able to deleted, that''s normal.)
c. Go back to the ISA 2004 management console, and then Start the stopped
''Microsoft Firewall'' service.

Reproduce the problem:
a. Go to the external client computer. Try to access the RWW web site.
b. Go back to the ISA server. Stop the ''Microsoft Firewall'' service.
Open
Windows Explorer, navigate to the ISA log file folder. Collect the recent
w3c files. Save them to a zip package as ''isalogs.zip''. Start the
''Microsoft Firewall'' Service.
c. Send the zip packages to me at v-yanniw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Regarding to your network printing issue, I would like to suggest you
create a new thread to post. In doing so, it will ensure your issues are
resolved in a timely manner. I am happy to be of assistance to you.

Have a nice day!

Sorry for delay in answer, very busy.

1. The legnth of time it remains connected varies. No error message
presents
itself, we simply can not reach the internt and the internet can not
reach
us. The Intranet continues to operate correctly.

2. No, we do not have any virus or firewall software installed. Though we
are not using NAT or DHCP from the SBS. We are using a single NIC in the
box
behind a netgear FVX 530 VPN-Router, all of which worke4d flawlessly
prior
to
the upgrade.

3. Yes, before the update we used Internet Printing to reach our print
server from off site. This no longer works. Server asks you select a
certicicate and there is no certificates to select in the dialog box
presented. Then we get dumped to a "You are not Authorized to view this
page"
error HTTP Error 403.6 page.

I will be collecting and sending the requested information as soon as I
can.

Thanks for your assistance thus far

Hello

After apllying the SP1 to an existing SBS 2003 in proper sequence then
applying exchange 2003 SP2 the server loses it's internet connection
on
a

daily
to
regain connectivity.

I also built a new duplicate SBS server 2003 as a lab and it is
experianceing the same issues, any wisdom?
