There's no wireless connection on the Vista PC.

Hi Merv:
I created a server account for the Vista PC on the SBS PC using the "Add
Users and Computers" wizard. I can't run the ConnectComputer wizard, since
I'm not even able to ping either computer from the other. In my LAN
interface
on Vista, it says I have limited connectivity. I think this means it was
not
able to obtain an IP address from SBS. I had disabled my Internet
connection
on Vista as well as Norton Internet Security. I just had the LAN interface
enabled while trying all this.
Do I have to join the Vista PC to the SBS domain before I run the
ConnectComputer wizard? Anyway, I'm not able to do that either. My ISA
Firewall client on Vista can't connect to ISA Server either. I'm running
ISA
Server 2004 SP3 on the SBS PC.
I had installed hotfix 926505 on the SBS PC.
Why can't the Vista PC get an IP address from SBS?
Thanks.

NOTE: I assume you have already installed the required KB 926505 SBS
updates to the server to resolve Vista compatibility issues:
Windows Small Business Server 2003: Windows Vista and Outlook 2007
compatibility update
(required for Vista machines on SBS 2003 whether or not you use Outlook
2007)

Merv:
I reconfigured my SBS so that it's not doing PPPoE authentication. So,
the
PPPoE software component on SBS has been removed. And the DHCP service
is
disabled on my modem. I experimented and found out that it's possible
to
get
the modem to do PPPoE authentication even with it's DHCP service
disabled,
in
contrast to what my ISP had asserted. I then followed the steps in this
posting (which is yours):

I'm now able to browse the Web on the SBS PC a lot faster. While SBS
was
doing PPPoE authentication, I experienced a very dull connection while
browsing the Web.
I'm still not able to ping between SBS and Vista.
What else should I be checking?
Thanks.

Hi JJ,
Here's a diagram of how your network should be physcially set up:
Two Nics, a dynamic IP address, ISA and a router
http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=266&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=74
Your ipconfig from an earlier posts shows that the external SBS NIC
has
been a assigned a dynamic IP from your router's DHCP service. After
you
have the physical network set up correctly, from the SBS server access
the
web interface of the router (192.168.2.1) and turn off DHCP on the
router.
Then from the SBS server:
My Network Places | Properties | External NIC | Properties | Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) | Properties | assign a (static) IP of 192.168.2.11
and
enter 192.168.16.2 as the (static) Preferred DNS server.
Now, check the SBS server NIC bindings:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Right click My Network Places...Properties. Highlight the Internal
NIC.
Then
select Advanced...Advanced Settings from the top menu for that window.
The Internal NIC should be displayed first followed by the External
NIC.
If
not, move the Internal NIC to the top of the list.
The Internal NIC should have File and Printer Sharing bound (check
marked)
to the TCP/IP Protocol.
The Internal NIC should have Client for Microsoft Networks bound
(check
marked) to the TCP/IP Protocol.
The External NIC should be bound to TCP/IP only (no other protocols or
services).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After everything is set up properly, re-run CEICW
CEICW Walkthrough
http://www.sbs-rocks.com/sbs2k3/sbs2k3-n2.htm
On the Firewall screen, make sure you enable the firewall, select the
services you want, create the Web Server Certificate and finish the
rest
of
CEICW.
At that point, the SBS server should be handling DHCP for your LAN.
Also, make sure that the firewall client of ISA has been installed on
each
workstation (but not on the server itself).

The kind of networking people I get here would introduce
spyware/trojans/rootkits into my PCs to control them so that they
can
get
more business from me. So, that's not an option.
The DSL router that I'm using does have a static and public IP
address
on
it's WAN interface. The 192.168.2.1 address is where it hosts an
embedded
HTTP server for administering the router. The DHCP server on the
router
assigns the static IP address 192.168.16.2 to my SBS PC. I would
like
to
turn
off the DHCP server on the router as per your suggestion. However,
my
ISA
Server is blocking access to 192.168.2.1 - the router's HTTP server.
What
kind of rules should I create on my ISA Server to allow this?
Thanks.

Sorry but this is getting more confusing all the time. The SBS
NIC(s)

have static IPs assigned to them that are appropriate for the IP
range(s)
being used. The DSL router should not have DHCP on. SBS should run
DHCP.
Is
your DSL router receiving a public IP on its WAN interface? I'm not
sure
how
it can be using both a 192.168.16.x and 192.168.2.x range?
I think it may be time to bring in outside help by someone
knowledgeable
about SBS and general networking to help you sort this out.

Steve:
The DSL modem has to have DHCP running. SBS has to have an IP
address
that
my DSL router assigned to it. Otherwise, how will the DSL router
find
SBS
to
route packets to/from the Internet. The DSL router's IP address
is
192.168.2.1. And the IP address that the router assigned to SBS
is
192.168.16.2.
I have another problem. I can't even http to 192.168.2.1 to
administer
the
router so that I can turn off it's DHCP server even if I wanted
to.
I
think
ISA Server is blocking this. What kind of rules should I add to
ISA
to
get
this to work?
Thanks.

Whoops you finally mention the router is running DHCP-the SBS
can't
run
it
at the same time. Turn it off on the router and see if DHCP will
work
on
the
SBS. There should have been event log entries about SBS DHCP
shutting
down
because another DHCP server was found.
