Re: Basic TCP/IP Config

Hi Frank,

That make sense to me but everything has been working. So if I am reading this right you are saying the the default gateway on the clients should be the same as the SBS DNS Server.....16.2?

So let me ask this, what is the issue with the gateway being the address of the router? And what is the benefit of having the client machines use the DNS Server address of the SBS Server?

The Client Gateway should not be the router but the SBS LAN 16.2 and DNS shoul be ONLY 16.2

Hi all,

I have my SBS2003 Premium Server using it's default IP address (192.168.16.2) The default gateway is 192.168.16.1 which is my Router. I set the Primary DNS Server to be itself at 192.168.16.2 and a alternate to be the Router (192.168.16.1)

My client computers are setup using a static IP address's from .3 - .5 inclusive. On the clients, I set the default gateway to be the Router, and the Primary DNS Server to be the SBS Server and an alternate to be the Router.

I noticed that every now and then I get DNS errors in the Event Viewer - DNS section that appear to be error relating to updating certain software say that the DNS Server cannot be itself (not sure if that is the exact message but something similar)

Am I missing something here?
