Re: DNS Issues?

Hi Larry,

What inet advanced setting were your referring too?

I responded to Dave's post. One thing that I put in there was that the
sites work flawlessly from the SBS server itself - it's just the clients that
seem to have the problem.

Ok, so we know it is not DNS. What about Dave's suggestion, and the inet
advanced settings.

Hi Larry,

My ISP's DNS servers were correctly in the forwarders tab. I removed them
from the NIC and that did not resolve the issue.

Try taking out the DNS settings for the WAN nic, and look in
Administrative
Tools - DNS - rclick server name - properties and see if the ISP's dns
settings are in the forwarders tab.

If not, run the CEICW again and include all the ISP supplied addresses in
the wizard on the Internet Connection portion.

If this breaks things, you can always put the DNS settings back on the
WAN
nic.

Hi Larry,

I can put a router inbetween if you think that is the issue.

The IP address on the WAN NIC is hard coded.

Sorry to say that I have no servers that are plugged directly into the
internet. I think you are OK for DNS, but is the ip address in the
WAN
nic
hard coded or provided by your ISP with DHCP?

HI Larry,

It is going through a simple hub before the server. I will take
your
suggestion into consideration.

Is that related to the problem? From my posting can you tell if it
is
a
DNS
issue or not?

"Larry Struckmeyer [SBS-MVP]" wrote:

Is the internet connection plugged directly into the SBS server on
nic2?

This is not really the preferred method. Even a $50 Linksys BE
class
router
will offer a little isolation from the internet.

Hi Dean:

We can eliminate the DNS portion if you will post the results of
the
command:

ipconfig /all > iptest.txt

from the server and one of the workstations. Please don't
change
anything,
although you could alter the server and domain names if you
wish.

Haven't seen this one in awhile, but there is a setting in IE -
Tools -
Inet
Options -Advanced to use http 1.1 through proxy connection. You
might
try
checking or unchecking those boxes. And further down, there is
SSL
settings, which might be an issue.

Hello,

I am having some problems that I am pretty sure are related to
SBS
2003,
but
I am not knowledgeable enough about DNS, etc. to be sure.
With
my
SBS
server
I am also running ISA 2004. I will try to describe the
problem,
but
it
may
be a little hard to understand. I will try to work with any
responses
to
narrow down the problem as much as I can - this is very
frustrating.

On any of my SBS 2003 client desktops, they successfully can
surf
normal
websites on the internet. There does not appear to be any
issues.
As
soon
as
I try to log into restricted sites - like online banking, or
other
sites
with
HTTPS://, I start running into problems. I am not saying that
it
is
totally
related to HTTPS:, but that is where the problem seems to be.

As soon as I log into these sites, the next screens have
issues.
Sometimes
they will not come back at all and all I get is that Internet
Explorer
cannot
display the web page. Sometimes part of the page will come
back,
but
some
of
the pictures or buttons will not download. Sometimes there
are
errors
at
the
bottom of IE (Unable to load object). This happens with IE or
Firefox.

The reason that I think it is related to SBS 2003 is that if I
open
another
IE window while I am experiencing the above problems at the
bottom
of
IE
it
says trying to connect to 192.168.16.2 (which is the IP of my
server),
and
once I even saw a quick flash where it said DNS Error.

I know that is not much to go on, but again, I do not think it
is
network
hardware related (all other functions of surfing, network,
etc)
work
fine,
and I do not think it is the internet provider - again, normal
websites
load
fast and completely. If anybody responds, I will answer any
and
all
.
