Re: An error occured when configuring networking settings. See your network administrator." While trying to connect new computer"



Your setup will not work if you don't assign different subnets to the LAN
and WAN (ISP) NICs on your SBS.

If you want to use only wireless in your office I would recommend that you
split the setup. Use a normal ADSL router for your ISP connection and plug
the WAN NIC directly into it. Use a static IP for that (i.e. 192.168.10.1
for the WAN NIC and 192.168.10.254 for the router).

Then use your wireless router and configure it for the LAN network (i.e.
192.168.20.1). You can have it act as the DHCP as long as you make sure that
it will supply the SBS LAN IP (static IP and excluded from the DHCP) as the
DNS and Gateway.

Example:
ADSL Router outside: DHCP of your ISP or whatever IP they supply
ADSL Router inside: 192.168.10.254, Subnet: 255.255.255.0 GW the outside IP,
WAN NIC SBS: 192.168.10.1, Subnet: 255.255.255.0 GW 192.168.10.254 DNS
192.168.20.1
LAN NIC SBS: 192.168.20.1, Subnet: 255.255.255.0 GW blank DNS 192.168.20.1
Wireless Router on LAN: 192.168.20.254, Subnet: 255.255.255.0 GW
192.168.20.1
DHCP Range: 192.168.20.100-200 with the correct GW and DNS

I hope this helps,

Claus

Hi

No I do not have SBS on the laptop as you can see from the IP addresses.

I can not do different subnets either as the SBS is not the DHCP server
and I use wireless in the office, so the wireless router gives the DHCP.

Any other suggestions on hoe to configure this set up?

1 - wireless ADSL Router - DHCP
1 - LAN NIC on SBS
1 - ISP NIC on SBS.

Thanks

Does this mean you have the SBS on this laptop?
If those 2 NIC cards shown below are supposed to be WAN and LAN for SBS,
you need to configure them with different subnets.

7. Disabled all other Network cards on Laptop.
8. Restarted server.
9. Ran Internet and email wizards again and again.
10. The server is not the DHCP server as I have a wireless router and
other offices connected seperately, so the ADSL Router is doing the
DHCP, server has its own static IP's.

What more can I try and do please, I have read so many solutions/options
and nothing gets me past the last screen that gives me the
An error occured when configuring networking settings. See your network
administrator, ERROR.

Thanks

Gabriel
