I ran CEICW because I've been having problems getting a stable internet
connection on the SBS 2003 R2 server. We had an error with the Metabase.xml
file that I repaired w/ an older version of the file, which fixed the error
but maybe caused a config issue? not sure.
Regarding running CEICW - I did this and it now has eliminated all web
browser access ie. http. We do have client access to the server for file
sharing still... so the intranet LAN part seems fine.
We have a 2 NIC setup and here is a partial output of "ipconfig /all":
LAN Adapter:
DHCP Enabled: no
IP Address: our local DHCP server - 192.168.1.250
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: blank
DNS: 192.168.1.250
WINS: 192.168.1.250
Network Adapter:
DHCP Enabled: no
IP Address: Fixed IP from dsl ISP provider
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: blank (don't know why this is blank when I have the local
router IP address, 192.168.1.1, entered and showing in the card settings)
DNS: 192.168.1.250
Netbios over TCPIP: disabled
I have the server as our DHCP and not the router. Also, the DNS on the
server seems fine because all clients have access to files on the server and
print sharing, there are no event errors with it.
When I change the router back to provide DHCP I can get internet on the
linksys/cisco WRVS4400n router if I connect a laptop direct to it. I can't
determine if this is a router setting issue or a server setting w/ regards to
DHCP.
I have configured the router with all the fixed IP settings and DNS info
given to me by our ISP and done needed port forwarding to our server
192.168.1.250
Our router is plugged into the network adapter on the server; and the LAN
adapter on the server is plugged into our switch feeding the rest of the
clients.
I have also updated the network adapter's drivers today witch did not seem
to help.
I have also gone through the 2 NIC adapter settings manually a few times to
confirm settings and w/ CEICW, and one thing that bothers me is the correct
default gateway settings. I've used, like the setup as told me, the IP of
our router, 192.168.1.1 Should this be something different? if so, what? and
on both cards or just one?
Any suggestions? or am I configuring something wrong here? thanks
