Re: Loosing Internet Connection

As Marina says you should take action on this and any other issues the BPA
flags.

Thanks for the response.
Currently we are running SBS 2003 SE. After I ran the SBS BPA I received
warnings on a second NIC wich is disabled, so I'm ignoring this for now.

One thing that caught my eye was:
EDNS is Enabled:
EDNS is enabled on this server. Some of the routers or firewalls may not
support EDNS. You should disable EDNS on this server. To do so, click
Start,
and then click Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt window, type dnscmd
/Config /EnableEdnsProbes 0 and then restart the DNS Server service.

Is this a problem? Should I perform the recommended task?

Not a good idea. Only the SBS IP address should be in the DNS setting for
both workstations and the server-no external ISP DNS IPs.

Ralph is this SBS SE or PE (with ISA 2004 installed) and 1 or 2 NICs. Is
SBS
2003 SP1 fully installed and then have you installed Windows 2003 SP2?

Run the SBS BPA to see if it shows any problems that should be corrected.

add an additional DNS entry on the server as that of the one you said
you
used on a workstation.
Also include that additional DNS entry gets broadcasted out to the
client
workstations.

We have been experiencing problem with the Internet connection for the
past
month & I just don't know what to do anymore.

Our Environment consists of a Windows Small Business Server and the
set
up
is really straight forward. The Server is responsible for DHCP so all
of
the
clients have the same settings. The DNS is the Server's IP and the
default
gateway is the router. The DSL Router (Netopia) is set up in bridge
mode
with a Linksys RV042 being used as a firewall/router.

The behavior is strange??? For some reason after a few days or a week
or
so
no one can get to the internet nor do we receive any e-mails. I know
for
a
fact that the DSL connection is still good because if I run the
Internet/e-Mail connection wizard on the Server everything starts
working
once again. Also, if I change the DNS entry on a workstation to be
that
of
an ISP (i.e. AT&T, Verizon, etc.) I have Internet access on that
particular
machine.

Sometimes when I ping the external IP I get request timed out, but
after
a
few minutes I start receiving replies??? So at this point everything
is
pointing to the Server? I think???

Below is a list of things which I have done in troubleshooting this
problem:

1 - I removed the RV042 from the set up but the problem still
persisted.
2 - I have made sure that the DSL line has the needed filters.
3 - I changed the Servers patch cable and changed it to a different
port
on
the LAN switch.
4 - I have updated the Server's NIC drivers.
5 - I have checked the Event Viewer but nothing is being registered
here.

Any help regarding this issue is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ralph
