Re: Urgent! New router and big disaster

Sorry, I haven't received any email replies. I'll be back down at the office
at 4:30pm again tonight.

Kimmy,

I replied to your private email to me but I have not heard back from you.

By the way, why did you post your own real email address without disguising
it?

I've emailed you, and I am heading down to the office in an hour, I don't
have the ISP numbers with me now. So please reply to the email I sent,
when I
get to the office I'll send you the those addresses.

Just learned that you shouldn't put email addresses in postings, so
feeling
that I probably haven't impressed too many people anyway, if you didn't
get
my email, then feel free to email me at kimber29001@xxxxxxxx

Kimmy,

I asked but you have not yet answered: have you actually checked to see
if
the ISP DNS IP addresses are working DNS servers?

As far as "What happens if you remove the ISP DNS servers and just use
root
hints?" is concerned, you MUST check that, or we are all wasting our
time. I
know you think a call to MS is too expensive, but you have burned up so
much
of your time that you are making about $1.50 an hour now. Either let one
of
us look at it, or call MS, since you say you are in over your head.

Remove the ISP DNS servers, then follow this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298148/en-us to remove the "dot" zone if
it
exists.

What are your ISP's DNS server IP addresses?

Give someone remote access. As I mentioned before, if you still cannot
get
it to work, I can gain remote access with a file you download from my web
site, which can be reached by IP address. It calls back to my workstation
with an IP address, not an FQDN, so it should also work. If you are
interested, email me at greggmhillR3M0VE AT yahoo DOT YOU KNOW WHAT. I
have
to go out for a few hours, but if you contact me soon, we can set up a
time
for me to look at your system.

You know I am sure during the original install I selected the local
router
with IP.
I doubled checked and I didn't see any "." zones. SG mentioned some
where
waaayyyy back in this post about the roots, and on this there was a MS
link
about roots. Thats just way over my head, I have no idea. There are a
lot
of
roots listed, all starting with a letter, from a- m I think.

The strangest thing is that because I am using pop3 and exchange, and
DNS,
when they want to check email, I have to take the dns ip of the server
out
of
the extrnal nic, and put in the ip of the router. Then they are
receiving
all
the email that has been sent. But I don't think it sends email at this
point.
I havent received a report, nor has any outgoing email tests worked. I
probably messed that up somehow when I re-ran the CEICW. I see alot of
"your
message to *** has been delayed in the Admin's inbox.

Then I put the DNS Ip of the server back in the external nic, and then
it
is
back to the same, no working email, and pages not found. Just the IP
numbers
for websites is the only thing that works, on both the SBS and client.
NSLOOKUP still the same, can find the server name, but
www.microsoft.com
times out after 2 seconds. Thats on both SBS & clients.

My network is..
internet dish >hub?>router> enternal nic
internal nic >24port switch>clients.
I am going to say the cable from the dish feeds to a hub and from the
hub
a
cat5e. I haven't crawled up in the attic to make sure but my guess it
is.
I
have to assign the static IP numbers from ISP to the router.

Les,

Are you sure about this step? "With two nics and a router, you have a
full
time broadband connection - and that is what must be selected in
CEICW...."

In all of the dual-NIC + router setups I have done, I always choose
"broadband" at the first screen, then "a local router with an IP
address,"
since that is what it is. The local router has the broadband
connection
on
its WAN side, so the server does not have a "direct broadband
connection"
to
it.

Look at the description and the diagram in the CEICW. For Kimmy's
setup,
she
should check ""a local router with an IP address" to match the way she
has
described her network. (Her? His?)

Or have I completely missed what she said she has for her setup?

The solution most likely lies in getting the CEICW to run cleanly.
There's
not much hope if it doesn't.

With two nics and a router, you have a full time broadband
connection -
and that is what must be selected in CEICW, and CEICW must run
cleanly
with that selection.

Go to c:\program files\Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server\support
and
find the icwlog.txt. Rename it to icwlog.old, and then re-run the
CEICW,
seleting full time broadband connection. Make sure you elect to set
up
the
firewall.

If you get errors, then go back to the icwlog.txt, and copy/paste it
here
(or attach it to a message).

If you're tired of this thread (I would be) - then call Microsoft
Customer
Support, pay the money, and it will be fixed.

I'd offer to remotely access your system to fix this, but I
seriously
doubt that's possible. But if you want me to confirm that - send me
an
email with your public ip address.

Yes I did, but the first time it came up with network config error,
second
time it failed at the firewall, and this last time it failed at
email
config... (I had it orginally set to use pop3 connector and
exchange..
Checked the DCHP services(client/server) and both are set to auto
start
and
both were running. I still can't open i.e and type address
www.dnslookup.com,
but I still can type in the ip , 65.98.45.220 and have the site
load.
Double
check the router as well and unless I missed a firewall setting on
it,
it
looks right. I plug a laptop into and I can connect with no
problems.
But is it normal, to open the DHCP service console, and it shows
not
connected, until I click on the server name? Then it states that it
is
running. Close the console and reopen, it shows again not
connected.
Thats
seems a little strange, in the services it shows both running and
in
the
event logs, it shows where it started fine.

Anyway the Server Ipconfig /all is this...

I checked the router, I am running a laptop off of it so I can
post.
It
is
working fine. I wish I could get someone in but I in the sticks
and
there
are
no techies around for miles.

Also, it might be a good time to go to the router's
configuration
page,
and
see what it has to say. Is it connected, and what dns servers
is
it

to? Perhaps they're pooched. If you could easily connect a
machine
on
one
of
the router ports (and get the nic configured correctly) you
.
