RE: Need help with server internet connection



Hi Robe,

Have you configured the 2Wire with the static IP address your ISP gave you
or is it still using DHCP ? Browse into it and configure the static and the
rest of the network info the ISP gave you. The external NIC gateway is fine
as the 2Wire is the gateway (it's internal address is 192.168.1.1 by default
and this is the route the server will use to get to the 'net). Then do what
Costas says and choose 'Router with an IP address' option, using the ip of
192.168.1.1. Make sure you configure the 2Wire firewall for 'Maximum
Security' as the 'Default' option that it comes with allows Pings and a few
other unsecure options (from memory).

Regards Colin.

Windows SBS 2003 R2 - 2 NICs - Static IP and router

Cannot get my server to connect to the internet and have exhausted
everything I know (which apparently isn't much.) Client computers are
all connected to the server and working fine; just can't access the
internet from server or clients. I'm thinking I don't really
understand gateways and routers very well and that's where the problem
is. Here's the info on my setup. Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated.

Router: AT&T 2wire gateway - that's about all I know

Server External NIC:
IP address: 192.168.1.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (This is the problem I think)
DNS: 192.168.16.2
WINS: Blank

Server LAN connection:
IP address: 192.168.16.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: Blank
DNS: 192.168.16.2
WINS: 192.168.16.2

OK, here is the (router?) info that I got from my ISP:
IP address: 76.240.9.65
Subnet: 255.255.255.248
Primary DNS: 68.94.156.1
Secondary DNS: 68.94.157.1
Default Gateway: 76.240.9.70

I know that this is a PPPoe connection as far as the router is
concerned but in SBS I'm not sure if it should be configured as a
direct broadband connection or a router with an IP address. I've tried
both ways and it still doesn't work. If you need more information
please let me know. Thanks!
