Re: Intermittently Companyweb access fails

Question: why does a named secondary DNS server cause resolution problems for
http:\\companyweb?

DHCP changes underway. This inherited network has several non-optimum
configurations however I don't believe Static IP/DHCP configurations play
into the current problem unless I am missing something?

Thanks,
Tom

Remove this last entry. All your workstations, and your server(s), should
specify only 192.168.1.150 (the SBS box's LAN IP, right? ) for DNS. AD does
not work properly without DNS running properly.....

Why aren't you using DHCP? It's so much easier. I'd set it up on the SBS
box - for 192.168.1.1 through .254, with exclusions set up. Personally, I
assign servers and other statics, within the .1 - .50 range, and exclude
that from the scope - and also exclude .200 - .254. Using a static server IP
address in the middle of your network as you're doing, is a little awkward.
Not unworkable, but awkward. If it were my network, I'd change the server's
IP (use the wizard for that....) to something lower.

Intermittently, apparently randomly, a user receives the browser
message "this page cannot be displayed" when opening
http:\\companyweb. Other users simultaneously can access the site;
all users are internal. And sometime later the user experiencing the
access problem will be able to access the problem.

When the users experiences the problem I am able to perform
NSLookup, Ping, etc. from their desktop comptuer.

Any help appreciated.

Thank,
Tom

Post an ipconfig /all from a problem workstation.
