Re: Remote Web Desktop Connection - DHCP scope

Hi Michael:

Sorry for the delay, I've been away.

It is not normal for yur DNS and DHCP services to "not work". What are the
symptoms, and what errors are in your event viewer? To test this, clear the
event logs, (perhaps save them first), then go to services and set dns and
dhcp to start automatically. Then restart the system.

Look for errors and let us know the source and event id number, or go here:
www.eventid.net

On one of those screens you have the DNS as the ip of your external nic, on
the other it is blank. Make them all the ip address of your INTERNAL nic,
192.168.16.2

We would also like to see the results of the following command:

ipconfig /all > c:\serverip.txt

Open the file, cut and paste the text into your reply.

When you finally get this to work, I suggest that you make good notes and
blow away the SBS installation and do it again. You have changed so much
that you will have a cleaner installation if you don't have to make so many.

Hi Anna,

I've gone through the setup as outlined and have configured the router and
nics as indicated.

I get to the point where I ping the router and that goes great, can ping
all
day long. However, trying to ping the isp dns 154.11.128.59 goes nowhere.
And, of course, there is no connection to the net.

I have a couple of questions, when setting up the two nics, I have not
included a default gateway or dns server addresses in either. Another
question, when setting this up I have both the DHCP and DNS services
turned
off, am I screwing up here? The reason I did this is I could not get CEICW
to
work without turning them off.

Once again your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael:

Please correct anything below that is incorrect:

1. Your isp has given you the following static ip info for the public
facing side of your router:
IP 154.5.127.137
SNM 255.255.254.0
DGW 154.5.126.254
DNS 154.11.128.59
DNS 154.11.128.187

2. your local router setting for the local, LAN, facing side of your
router is
192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0

2. Your server1 nic is set for a static ip. The MS suggested one is:
IP: 192.168.16.2
SN 255.255.255.0
nothing else goes here

3 Your server2 nic is set for a static ip. The range that matches your
router is:
IP 192.168.1.xxx could be any number between 2 and 254. I
usually use the same last number as server1 nic
SN 255.255.255.0 must match the subnet of the router

The server1 nic is plugged into your switch,
The server2 nic is plugged into your router.

The wan device is plugged into the wan port on your router.

You should change the setting "gateway" to "router" on the first page of
your router.

When all this is done, and the little lights by the cable port
connections
are lit to indicate that you have good connections you should be able to
open a cmd prompt on the server and issue the command:

"ping 192.168.1.1", and get a reply response from your router.

Now, run the CEICW: put the address for DNS that the ISP gave you in
there,
and be sure that the ip addresses are correct as above.

After the CEICW finishes, you should be able to issue the following two
commands

ping 192.168.1.1 to hit your router

ping 154.11.128.59 to hit the ip address of the isp dns server.

If you can do that, your browser on your server should find the internet.
Don't do much from there... bad form.

Now, turn on DHCP on the server, set the scope to contain enough static
ip
addresses to cover however many servers and ip printers you may need.
The
default is 10.

Have you added the users and computers and joined them to the server? If
not, and the above is working, post a new thread for assistance if you
need
some.

Post back if not clear.

Hi Anna,

Sorry for the delay, I can only get to work on the server on Saturdays.
I
tried putting a second nic in and to follow your instructions. I could
not
get the workgroup computers to access the internet.

Here's what I've done, I've unplugged the second nic, and the system is
wired like this: ISP>Router>Switch & SBS so that both the workgroup and
sbs
domain can access the internet & sbs can access its' lone workstation.

I've put all the router settings on my web site www.mvanert.com under
the
link SBS 2003 link so that you can see the way the router and nic are
set
and
I'm hoping this will help you talk to me in a way I understand with the
hardware I'm using.

I really appreciate your help.

Hi Michael:

Ok, more clear now.

How many travelers?

With the setup you have now, you can take over the one XP pro
workstation
when you connect with RWW and work on your Access DB on that desktop.
But
only one at a time, and only when it is not being used locally.

SBS does not allow TS in app share mode,, only for admin purposes.

If the final goal is several travelers, you will need one workstation
for
each remote connection, or a separate box with TS.
RWW with out TS is one to one. With TS is many to one.

First, thank you Anna for your response.

To answer your questions:

8 workstations are legacy, the SBS was purchased for this one
project
only.
We are a very small non-profit (read no money) and were led to
believe
this
was the way to go. These will be replaced and configured to join
the
domain
as $ permit.

1 XP Pro workstation is to host the MSAccess file / domain.

SBS standard - see above, to be able to access and manipulate this
file
from
anywhere.

I will implement according to your instructions and get back here
in
the
next two days (I have two jobs, so it takes a day or so to get at
the
server)

Once again, thanks.

Hi Michael:

8 workstations, MS XP Home, peer to peer. What purpose?

1 MS XP Pro Workstation. What purpose?

SBS 2003 Standard(?). What purpose?

Goal - run MS Access from anywhere in the world.

If this is your only goal, install Windows Server 2003, not SBS.

Add the Terminal Server Role

Install MS Office according to instructions for installing on a
Terminal
Server.

Purchase TS licenses for the correct number of remote users.

Connect to the TS from anywhere in the world and run Access, or
any
Terminal
Server compatible program.

If you have other goals, you may get better/additional advice if
you
tell us
what they are.

Regardless of SBS or TS:

Workstations->Switch->Server
Server->Router->Wan Device

Configure router with the IP your ISP gave you, then open ports
on
Router,
forward to NIC in Server.

With SBS you want two NIC's, and two subnets, unless you have
industrial
strength Firewall between Server and Wan Device. Also with SBS
you
should
allow the SBS to service DHCP to its client workstations,
configure
the
router with the settings from the ISP, and run the CEICW. Any
computer
that
relies on SBS for its services, including the SBS, must have ONLY
the
internal NIC in the SBS as its DNS setting, i.e. 192.168.1.50,

The only place those other number appear is on the WAN facing
side
of
your
router and in the DNS forwarders tab.

First, thanks to those who have responded. Out of sheer
fustration
I've
re-set my router to default, turned off DHCP in SBS 2003.
Here's
my
current
configuration (I need to start from scratch):

ISP>Router>Switch>Server & 8 workstations running XP Home,
peer-to-peer 1
workstation running XP Pro to be attached to domain CPSports

Goal: to be able to work with MSAccess file using remote
desktop
from
anywhere in the world.

The router (Linksys WRT54G ver. 6) is configured thusly:
Auto DHCP
Host=Sportability (which is linked to an IP of 154.5.127.137)
Domain=cpsports
MTU=auto
Local IP=192.168.1.1
Starting IP=192.168.1.100
50 DHCP users max
Static DNS 1: 154.11.128.59
DNS2: 154.11.128.187
------
Server Name is cpserver
domain=CPSports.local
Server IP=192.168.1.50

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael:

Errors in the event logs?

Why two IP addresses, and where did you enter them? Are you
referring
to
DNS addresses for your ISP?

Please post the results of ipconfig /all > iptxt.txt from the
SBS
server
and
a workstation.
