Re: After setup, server cannot access network

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

Hello Pop,

Just one remark, for servers switches routers work with fixed ip's not with reservations from DHCP. Better start scopes from x.x.x.10 or 20 and hold the beginning ip's for your own needs.

Meinolf,

Thanks for the reply! I had called another more experienced network
person and found out what the issue was. We disabled DHCP for now.
Currently the NT4 box is running DHCP and has a reservation for an IP
with x.x.10.x, where as before, the server was running with a
statically assigned x.x.0.x. After setting the new server to the
reservation that was present and setting the default gateway. I am
back on the network. It seems that the server was setup for a x.x.0.x
network and everything I needed was on the x.x.10.x network.

Thanks!!

Hello Pop,

you do niot use both NIC's with teaming disable the not used.NIC.

We have a Windows 2003 Standard R2 SP2 server just added to the
network. I have DNS, DHCP and AD running correct as far as I can
tell. All of this is running on a Dell PowerEdge 2800. I had help
setting up DNS and DHCP so I know those should be good. Though since
the server has 2 NIC cards, it is all pointing to one of the cards.
When plugging in the network cable to that card. Nothing happens -
no internet, no network, no nothing. When plugging the cable into
the second card it pulls the IP address from the NT4 DHCP service on
the network, but looks at 127.0.0.1 for DNS.

I am not sure where I went wrong, networking is a new skill set.
