Thanks so much for your help. This was a nightmare, but it turned out
well- I hope. I went in this morning knowing that all I had to do was get
the VPN settings from the other router, but when I went to call in - there
was no SBS web interface. It had been working the night before. So I
telephoned the office where the server was and asked her to re-boot the
server. We waited, and waited and waited.....no monitor, so we couldn't
see what was going on. So I hauled it over to the server location,
attached monitor, etc and saw that it was rebooting at the windows server
2003 screen. WTF? Hows that for luck? Okay so I ran the raid fixer
program (2+ hours) and it said "fixed" but still no boot...no safe
mode...no last known good config, so I ran the Active Directory fixer and
the computer shut down..I thought that was it...I was dialing Microsoft,
when I looked in and saw the preparing connections screen. Hallelujah! I
was not looking forward to server recovery as my first assignment with a
new client.
Once I saw the config of the VPN router there, I knew what to do on the
other side. I am using branch to branch, one static ip on each, then
local ip's on the ws's. There are some flaky things going on, though.
Outlook was not connecting at all on some computers when they were DHCP
clients, but it worked when I hard coded the ip's and dns's in. I don't
know why it worked before...
On the remote location, when I first logged in, the net use script hung
saying device already in use? Then it finally connected and drives and
files were there. The front machine connected to outlook, then
disconnected, then tried to reconnect and connected again.
I did decide to use the old router, but I passed it through the cisco left
there by optonline - only because I knew that it was passing through the
static IP's, since I had plyed with it before - I don't know if ht

One static IP is correct for both solutions. Check the client computers
on the remote site and see if they have the connection manager installed.
If so, they use individual VPNs to the SBS. If not, there was a Branch to
Branch connection.
If they had a branch to branch VPN you might need to use their old router
as the new one might not be able to establish a BtB connection.

probaby the first scenario, since it looks like they were using one
static ip for the office .
although we have enough new static ips to give one to each, I don't
really see a benefit to that. So...whichever is easier to set up on
the router.

What you are describing are 2 local networks that have individual
connection to the internet.
In order to have them talk to each other your either need something
like a branch office VPN that will tunnel the traffic or the clients in
location B need to connect individually via VPN to the SBS server at
location A.
So which of those 2 solutions is set up in your case?

Yes, the remote server is a an SBS.
location A = remote server - SBS -192.168.1.10 + 4 clients +
Exchange server - not sure of the clients ip scheme - but I think it
is 192.168.1.xxx - (everything works fine here)
location B= Local Network =4 clients
old way with verizon was 192.168.2.101 - linksys router(not sure how
this was set up because I had to reset it) -> Westell DSL modem. the
clients had the first DNS setting = 192.168.1.10 (this confuses me...)
then two other DNS numbers like151.???.0.83.
New way = optimum online w/boost and new bank of static ips - I can
get the web to work, but I can't get the files synced or outlook to
get email. When I log in it says it can't sync the files to the domain
so it will stay offline.
I can remote into their server via the web and connect to a client
machine, and then remote over to the server and log in as admin
I believe that the old way through DSL that there was a setting in
the linksys router that I don't understand
the goal is to set up the clients to sync files w/ the server and to
work with outlook & exchange under the new ISP - optonline
When that didn't work, I tried to set it back, but I still had the
same problem, leading me to believe that the settings that made the
difference was in the old router which I had to reset. I hope I am
not confusing you too much.

Is there an SBS involved here?
What server is remote?
Please explain the network setup in more detail, otherwise we can't
help you.

I should mention that the server is remote.

I went to help a law office, and configured a new machine to work
with their server on a domain, with synced folders and outlook
exchange. They were on DSL and complaining about speed, so I
recommended they switch to cable/boost
So they did a few weeks later, and got a new set of static ips,
then I went to take over after the cable install.
They normally log into a domain and have synchronized files and use
outlook through exchange server.
I wrote down all the settings that were there, except for the old
router....I had to reset-because I didn't have the password.
their old static ip was 71.249.249.71
Their local ips were 192.168.2.xxx
Their gateway was 192.168.2.1
their DNS's were 192.168.1.10 (this is the ip of the remote
server)
151.???.0.85 (don't remember)
I first tried old router to new router - just to make a quick
connection, I plugged in one static ip to the old router, and was
able to get on internet, but it would not sync or exchange could
not check mail.
Then I first took one computer and plugged it into the new
router -> cable modem. I can log onto the domain, but folders will
not sync and outlook won't send and receive.
Then when I tried to "go back" to the way it was, it still wouldn't
sync or get the mail. (remember - I reset the old router before I
saw the config because I didn't have the password)
What am I missing configuration wise? What is the bare minimum
needed to sync folders and load exchange email?
I plan on calling microsoft for an incident tomorrow, but I would
like to know if anyone can help me. let me know if you need more
info.
