Re: Troubleshoot Failing Clients Internet Connection

I'd remove or at least disable the DRAC card and the service.

How many nics in your SBS server?
Has this always been a problem or is it new?

I have the standard edition. A DRAC card is a Dell Remote Assistance Card
that allows Dell or you to access and trouble shoot your server (hardware)
underneath Windows. It can be use with their Open manage system. We have
never used it. Its not fully configured to use. Dell says they use other
tools now.

My client workstations on my SBS network are unable to connect to the
Internet when they first logon in the morning. This has happened twice
in
the
last week. They can access their Server files and databases OK. But no
Internet, IE gives them a blank page with server cannot be found
message.

I can log in remotely to the server through RWW and reboot it.
Rebooting
the
server fixes the problem. I have checked the logs. The only problem I
see
is
a service for my DRAC 4 card that fails to start. In the Services
panel
it
shows the DRAC card in "Starting" status.

I have two NIC cards a Dell 1800 with 2x 3.2 processors. I run SBS 2003
with
service pack 2 and Exchange with service pack 2. WSUS 2.0

The only other issue I am aware of is Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate was
using 62% of my CPU until I rebooted. Don't have any idea why. My norm
in
cpu
usage is about 2% average.

I would appreciate any ideas how to trouble shoot this issue.
