Re: problem connecting to server from XP

Hi Jeff
I agree it should have been SP1 but the shop that sold it to me insisted it was not needed.
As I am new to SBS 2003 I did not know the difference, I thought we were buying the latest version as we changed over from Novel Netware.

I now have the system installed and updated to the latest version and made an image copy for easier restore if needed.
Most of the problems are now solved, thanks for your assistance.


Regards
Bernard

If you just purchased the "software pack" I would ask why it didn't include SBS SP1 timeframe of updates. If I were doing a new install today I would want to start with disks that were Windows Small Business Server 2003 w/SP1 as a starting point. You wouldn't have as deep of hole to climb out of after the install with getting it up-to-date that way.

I am using SBS2K2 (not R2)

I installed firewall by using the wizard "connect to internet"

The service packs I refer to are the server 2003 SBS service pack 1 & 2 the software pack we purchased seems not to include any service pack.

After install service pack 1 a new Icon in Control panel is created for Firewall, but it is not accessible as it shows another application is using it

I wish to add other items in the firewall rules but can not see where to add them without running the "Connect to Internet" wizard.

So is it correct that you are using SBS R2 with two nics but no ISA?

You configure the SBS "firewall" by opening Server Management and
clicking on Connect to the Internet. What service packs do you refer to? Sharepoint, Exchange, ISA 2004,
Server 2003 all have SP1 and SP2.

As the server was newly installed I decided to Re-Install
Now I am able to configure the network and set the access correctly.
However after I apply the service packs 1 & 2 I am no longer able to
change the firewall settings.
I would like to be able to change these as I use a none Microsoft mail
server within the system plus I also have different web contents for
internal and external access Internal uses port 80 external uses port 81
which is masked by the router on the outside world it is 80 but the
router changes this internally to 81 this is to make it easier to keep
web net & Intranet disconnected for security reasons.

How do I get access to change the firewall settings.
In Control panel it is not possible to open the icon as the error
message states some other program is using it.

In looking over the NIC settings everything looks ok on the server but the workstation needs help. Your Default Gateway, DNS, WINS and DHCP should be pointing to your Internal NIC on the server (192.168.51.88). Workstation DNS should looking only at the server IP address.

How did you turn on the firewall. If you clciked on Services and
turned it on that was wrong. You need to disable it and use the
Connect to the internet wizard from Server Management.

Post ipconfig/all from the server and a workstation to let us see if
your nics are set up correctly.

I have just installed SBS 2003 and it is now taking anywhere from 1 minute to over 6 minutes to logion to the server from any of the Windows XP Pro workstations.
Any Ideas what could cause this.
If I disable to firewall in SBS it is slightly quicker.
The firewall is needed as I have set 2 NIC's one to the local LAN the other is connecting to the internet via the WAN router, I don't want to leave disabled.
