Re: Changing the Default Gateway

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Can you explain what the goal is? Do you have one nic or two in the SBS 2003? What/where is the .222 address, and why? From the server can you ping the GW address, and can you ping the public DNS servers, and if so, can you ping yahoo.com?

A default gateway is nothing more than the information that is used to find address that don't exist in the ip range that the request can "see". Normally this would be .1 or .254, but there is nothing magic about these numbers. If the nic is on the same subnet as the gateway device and you ask for 71.08.44.32, for example, and your sub net is different anywhere in the first three octaves, the request should be sent to the GW, and if the forwarders, router and public DNS servers are doing their job, and the requested url/ip is available you should be good to go.

So, given that the .254 is just a number, and it was (I assume) all working, why the change?

Les,

At first I though this would be the case and I ran CEICW via the To do List.
When I ran the wizard I choose broadband and changed the default Gateway to
.222. After the wizard completed (we just choose to leave everything else as
is) we were not able to access DNS from the SBS. We were able to ip IP
though.

Funny thing is I changed the DG manually and it did not change in the
wizard? I assume the wizard is doing a bit more than I am by just changing
the DG.

DNS server: 10.10.0.1 (mcsvr01.mccoysales.local.)
All tests passed on this DNS server
This is a valid DNS server
Name resolution is funtional. _ldap._tcp SRV record for the
forest root domain is registered
Delegation to the domain _msdcs.mccoysales.local. is
operational

DNS server: 208.67.222.222 (<name unavailable>)
All tests passed on this DNS server
This is a valid DNS server

DNS server: 4.2.2.2 (<name unavailable>)
All tests passed on this DNS server
This is a valid DNS server

Hi Noncentz,

The best way is to run the CEICW (configure email and internet connection
wizard) to change the setting. Use the SBS Management console.
