Re: Help! Clients are off the network.

Steve is right... you need to get your ip and dhcp straightened out.

As a rule, you should see every nic in your lan pointed to the internal nic of the SBS for DNS. Secondly, the external nic should be on a subnet not commonly used by home based routers, meaning that 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x are not good choices. (only relevant if you choose to allow VPN direct to the server).

Run the change server IP wizard to move it to 192.168.xx.2, (you can move it back to .16 if you wish).

If desired, move the external nic and the LAN side of the router, but not necessary for this exercise.

Then run the CEICW and verify that the workstations can get an ip in the same range as the server internal nic.

Once that works, than if you can ping the server from the workstations by ip and by name, you should be good to go.

If none of this fixes it, give us a new config and look at the properties of the DHCP server and make sure your switch is working. You should be able to do that by putting the workstation on static in the same range and ping server ip should then be successful.

In your first post you mentioned changing the server IP address several times. Did you use the Change IP wizard to do this? You certainly need to get DHCP running properly on the SBS so that clients can receive a valid IP address.

Seems we should first fix what you have, than move to one nic if you want,
or fix the iphone with one or two nics your call.

To work on the present issue, please post the unedited results of:

ipconfig /all > c:\iptest.txt

from the server and an affected workstation.
