Re: CEICW Network Error

Hi Rick:

While we can't possibly know the ins and outs of every ISP and router on the planet, what you are describing sounds strange to me. Merv gave you a link to a diagram for the usual way this is done. The public IP goes on the Inet side of the router, and the SBS side of the router and the external NIC get a private IP address range that is different from the Internal SBS nic and the workstations.

It sounds to me like this device is not a router, but a DSL or Cable modem that sits at the termination point of the ISP connection to your office.

the WAN(external) NIC has had a public IP address all along....and everything was working great....

the router was provided by Optimum Online and was needed (according to them) to facilitate a static IP for the External NIC

The end-user complained of large amounts of SPAM and that is why the purchased ESET, removed SEP and the whole thing went downhill from there.

I suspect someone reconfigured the external NIC and gave it a public address. Normally with a router in the mix, the router gets the public IP address on its WAN side and its LAN side is given a (static) private IP address in a subnet that is different from the Internal LAN. Then the external NIC is given a (static) private IP address in the same subnet as the router's LAN side.

SBS Two Nic configuration
(works with or without ISA)

SBS 2K3 SP 2

Dual Nic

WAN public IP Address nnn.nnn.nnn.250
LAN 192.168.0.2

router with IP address nnn.nnn.nnn.249

Users brought in another tech and messed up internet connectivity....server had internet access, but AD desktops cannot get to internet.

NOW NEITHER server or desktops have internet access

I have reviewed both NICs, binding orders, services....etc...

When I run CEICW I get these errors in the error log:

Error 0c8007007e returned from call to installing RRAS (LAN)().
Error 0c8007007e returned from call to CNetCommit::Common().
Error 0c8007007e returned from call to CNetCommit::Common().
calling CRFireCommit::Commitex (0x2d93C0).
calling CRFireCommit::ValidatePropertyBag no RRAS NAT Public Interface, Basic Firewall will not be configured.().
Error 0x1 returned from call to CRFireCommit::CommitEx ValidatePropertyBag returned S_FALSE().


The whole problem started when the other tech tried to mUNINSTALL Symantec Endpoint 11.0 and then install ESET server and client.

Any H E L P is greatly appreciated...

TIA

RickD
