Re: Unknown Error when Configure internet connection in SBS 2008

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Enabled IPv6 (registry and on NIC), rebooted, and re-ran CTIW. CTIW finished
successfully.

To humor you: DHCP does not have any external DNS referenced, I added DNS
forwarders and re-ran CTIW. I am presented with a message stating that CTIW
"Cannot configure IPv6 in DHCP..." (This is with IPv6 unchecked on the NIC).
Checking IPv6 on the NIC and re-running CTIW (as stated in another forum)
brings back a generic failure message in CTIW ("...Unknow error...).

As Merv previously stated, you must remove 64.65.208.6 from the DHCP Scope
Options (Option 006). That IP address is an external DNS address. It has no
reference to your internal zone called "thoughtforms.local" which only
exists on your SBS DNS service.

Please remove that from the scope options, restart the workstations, and
re-run the wizard, as Merv suggested.

For efficient internet resolution, configure a forwarder. The following
shows how (scroll down to Forwarding in the link). Configuring a forwarder
is a DNS generic feature, which means it works the same for SBS and non-SBS.

I think it might be the disabled IPv6. Disabled in the registry but not on
the NIC results in a certain error in the CTIW.log. Disabling IPv6 on the
NIC
gets past the original error (wouldn't find router; even after manually
entering IP and always failed with generic message), re-arranges DHCP,
but
can't setup a scope of IPv6 in DHCP. Not sure how to disable IPv6 in DHCP,
but it seems like I'm chasing IPv6 components so I'm enabling IPv6 and
will
see how far I get. Will need a reboot early tomorrow morning and I'll try
again.

Same error but not running any AV. Any ideas?

Hi Kevin,

3rd party antivirus software blocking something? (disable, or better
yet,
uninstall AV software on the server to test).

I am getting "unknown error" when run Internet connection wizard in
SBS
2008.
I don't know where I am going to start to troubleshoot it. I have
manually
entered my router IP address, and the SBS server IP address, but no
go
except
getting an unknown error.

And stranger enough, after the error, my SBS server IP address was
changed
to use DHCP IP address not the static IP address, and the DNS server
is
stopped on SBS server.

Please help.

Kevin
