Re: Basic TCP/IP Config

Hello Randy,

Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Cliff for the input.

According to your description, I understand that you get DNS error on the
SBS network. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to
let me know.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can
resolve this issue:

From your description, the IP configuration of SBS and clients are ok. The
default gateway of clients should point to router. It is properly for
single NIC SBS.

However, I agree with Cliff, we need to configure the SBS network with SBS
method (wizard). Please perform the following steps to configure the SBS
and clients:

1. Set all clients obtain IP address automatically.

2. Run the CEICW on SBS as following steps: One network adapter - manual
router connection to broadband

a. On the Connection Type page, click Broadband, and then click Next.
b. On the Broadband Connection page, under My server uses, click A local
router device with an IP address, and then click Next.
c. On the Router Connection page, next to Preferred DNS server and next to
Alternate DNS server, type the IP addresses that are provided by your ISP.
In the Local IP address of router box, type the IP address of the router
that the server uses to connect to the router.
d. Click to select the My server uses a single network connection for both
Internet access and the local network check box, and then click Next.
e. A message may appear that warns that the firewall that is provided
cannot be configured. You are offered a chance to view information about
configuration settings for an existing firewall device.
f. On the Network Connection page, click Server Local Area Connection
under the Connection Name.
g. Click Next.
h. Complete the Configure E-mail and Internet Connection Wizard.

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the steps above, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

1. Do you get the DNS error on SBS or clients?

2. Do you get any network resource access issue on the clients or SBS?

3. Run command "ipconfig /all > c:\ipconfig_client.txt" and "route print >
c:\route_client.txt" on problematic client, send the files
c:\ipconfig_client.txt and c:\route_client.txt to me at
v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

4. Gather MPS network report on SBS:

a. Download MPSrepot_network from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE

b. Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe.

c. The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will
take 10~15 minutes.

d. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder:
%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\

e. Send the .cab file directly to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu (MSFT)

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?

Randy

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?
