Re: No DNS


No, I did not have both nics on the same connection, talk about a rookie
mistake! I had the wan nic set to a static ip given to me by my isp, it ran
to a dsl modem that was bridged. from there i had an rj45 cable over to the
router. On the router i had it set to 192.168.1.16 with dns and dhcp turned
off. I enabled dhcp and dns on the server and insured my scope was correct.
All of the stuff i did the first time I did through the connection wizard.
For some reason the dhcp server was assigning ip's to the workstation that
were public ip's, something like 169.254.x.x, don't remember exactly. i got
one of the workstation to join the domain with the
http://servername/connectcomputer command. It would see the internal web site
but not the internet, additionally, it would lose connectivity to the domain.
At all times the server had complete connectivity, that is to say to the
internet and intranet.

I would suggest you give the wizards one more go
If they don't work, it's because something is amiss

My guess is you had both nics plugged into the router?? That won't work
You must have one nic and all workstations into a switch and the other nic
in the router
Both NICs should have static IPs and they must be in different subnets

Example
NIC 1 (LAN CONNECTION) connected to switch with workstation
IP: 192.168.16.2
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway: Blank
DNS 192.168.16.2
WINS 192.168.16.2 (WINS should also be running on the SBS server)

NIC2 (INTERNET) connected to router
IP 192.168.1.2
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1 (IP OF THE LAN SIDE OF THE ROUTER)
DNS 192.168.16.2


SBS Server should be running DHCP, DNS, WINS

There is a wizard on the server console called CHANGE SERVER IP
This will do much of this for you

Run the Connect wizard again, Choose "DIRECT BROADBAND CONNECT"
Answer the rest of the questions as needed

i had dhcp and dns set up on the server and nothing would work. i used the
internet and mail connection wizard and it would not work. I was trying to
set up a dual homed gateway on the server and as far as I got was one
workstaion that would connect to the domain and then drop repeatadly from
it.
I used this kb article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/825763/en-us and used the
Broadband Manual N 2 3 option. After two days of fighing the thing I gave
up
and configured everything manually using only one nic. I turned off dhcp
and
dns on the server when i configurd everything manually. I've read several
articles in here that say you should use the wizards whenever possible,
that's great if they work or if you have a week to figure out why they
don't.
In the end I went wih what I know. Although my system works about 99.5%
percent of the way it's supposed to it's sure better than nothing working.

You need to turn off the dhcp and dns on the router and use dhcp (and
dns but hopefully that's already setup on the sbs server by default so
you shouldn't have to do anything unless you've tried to manually
change it) on the SBS server instead. Then you should work.

The workstations will all point to the server as their dns server at
that point.
