Re: Server Offline- need some advice

I've got the nic for the upper disabled because they are not using it.
However, when I added it back, it was set to receive an IP dynamically. It
appears as if at some point, they were using this to get an IP from their
ISP. But, this was before my time doing anything with them, so I don't
really know exactly what the deal was.

Do you want me to still do an ipconfig on it?

Hi James:

It might help to know the ip of the second adapter. Attach it to something
and run the command again.

If you issue the command this way:

ipconfig /all > c:\iptest.txt

you can copy and paste the results into a post here.

Bindings look OK. I did a print screen from ipconfig. Here it is:

Thanks a lot for the help.

Can you please post an ipconfig/all from the box?

Also, did you check the bindings on the NICs?

OK, here is an update on where things stand:

It seems as if the first errors are DNS 5782, 5775 & 5774. I have done
some
research and still no dice.

I also cannot repair the connection- getting an error on clearing arp
cache.
However, if I do an arp -a, the arp cache is totally empty. This looks
really suspect to me, as my understanding would say if that's empty,
I've
got
no shot communicating with other nodes. Any idea why that would be?

Yesterday, a client told me he thought there was some type of file

on his SBS 2003 server, so I did a chkdsk at startup- pretty routine.

However, since that chkdsk, the server has been totally offline. The
clients can see/access/ping each other but can't get to the server and
the
server can't ping any clients. There were absolutely no changes to
the
network setup; the chkdsk was the only thing I did.

After that, I tried redoing the IP stack, then doing a repair install
of
Windows. No luck there. I also tried switching the IP address,
checking
different cables, ports, etc. No luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
