Re: Cannot connect to Server

Hi Larry

I changed one workstation DNS to 10.10.10.3. checked the dns forwarders have
the DNS settings from the ISP - they are there and also checked the dhcp that
it is active and the scope is correclty specifiied

However the ping to the server and the ping from the server is not
responding. To the server - it is timed out but from the server it is
destination host unreachable. Seems like something is blocking the sending
from the server but the server is receiving the ping. What can this be?

Any things you like me to check?

Thanks

Hi Larry

I have done all you asked - the router is working, and I can ping to 2
static ips on 2 workstations

All the ips are on 10.10.10.x/255.255.255.0

SBS2003 DHCP server is active

I have run CEICW and below are 2 results of ipconfig/all - one the server,
the other a workstation :

For a one nic server this looks ok. Open the properties of DNS, check the
forwarders tab to see if the DNS settings from your ISP are there.

I presume the 165 numbers to be the ISP DNS. Not good. All the nics in the
lan should have the internal IP of your SBS as their DNS, i.e. 10.10.10.3

This one has no ip....

The ones that have ip addresses can ping each other should now be able to
ping the server, but they will not logon properly until they have the
servers ip as their DNS.

The ones that have no ip obviously have to have one. While you could set
them all static, you really should get your DHCP server running correctly.

hope this sheds light on the problem

Hi:

Are you sure that the switch/router is working? Reset power on all those
little boxes, and/or put static ips on two workstations and see if they
can
ping each other.

The only thing that should have changed when you moved should have been
the
external ip address of the inet device. If anything else changed, you
have
to make all the ip's on your side of the router be in the same network...
i.e 10.10.10.x, 255.255.255.0

Be sure your DHCP is active on your SBS, and stopped on all other
devices.

Run the CEICW and post back the results of ipconfig /all >
c:\testfile.txt
from both the server and a workstation.

Recently we shifted offices. I have an SBS2003 server Dell PowerEdge
830
with
1 network adapter connecting through a router ADSL and whats changed
was
the
router and now we are using cable DSL.
Previously, the router had the DHCP enabled. It worked fine till now.
Now the Server cannot be part of the network, cannot be pinged
(strange -
when I am booting up the server, the ping replies till the network
connection
are being set and after the ping just timed out)
I was going through the posts of similar problems and had DHCP service
started up with the scope on the server and disabled the router DHCP
However this still doesnot work and the server cannot still join the
network
and access the internet

This is my ipconfig/all details

Windows IP Confiiguration
Host Name - SBS2003
Primary Dns Suffox - EurekaTravel.local
Node Type - Unknown
IP Routing Enabled - Yes
WINS Proxy Enable - Yes
DNS Suffix Serach List - EurekaTravel.local

Ethernet adapter Server Local Area Connection :
Connection-specific DNS Suffix
Description - Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
Physical Adress - 00-15-C5-5E-CD-FC
DHCP Enable - No
IP Address - 10.10.10.3
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway - 10.10.10.2
DNS Server - 10.10.10.3
Primary WINS Server - 10.10.10.3

Hope somebody can give me ideas of how to solve this problem!

Thanks
