Re: Network Gone Kaput

Something is fishy.

The server didn't auto-update at 3:00 am, by chance?
Is Windows Server SP2 installed, if so when, and has the network worked since that time?

With a single nic SBS, the workstations don't go "through" the SBS.
What make and model of NIC is the SBS using?

Please post there result of 'ipconfig /all' run from a command prompt at the server, and also one from a workstation.

Have a network that working fine until Sunday 3AM and then it fell on its lips.

Configuration:

1 SBS2003 Server SP2, Single NIC ran to a Netgear 8-Port VPN Firewall Router
Wire run to Rackmount HUB from Netgear Router
7 computers currently configured to run through SBS for email, shared drives
and internet.

All computers can ping all computers and netgear router except that the
seven cannot ping the server.
Specifically:

1) The server can ping the clients and the router
2) The clients can ping the router and each other
3) The clients CANNOT ping the server

Originally none of the server resources were available.
If I change the gateway on the clients from the servers ip address to the
routers ip address all the computers are able to access the internet. Of
course they are still unable to use email and access data on the server.
