Windows 2003

Hello

I am having problem with getting my laptop to go online.

i have 2 machines one with windows 2003 (server) and a windows XP (workstation)

My server has 2 nic cards.
one nic card is connected to my DSL modem. other is connected to Port 1 on my linksys G router.

Server has DHCP running. server can go online but all other machines get IP can ping each other But can not get out to internet.

here is my settings to my server.

Any idea what the problem is ???

 

My brain isn't working right now...but...

Are you wanting the server to control internet access to the other computers? If so, then you'll need to share that internet connection.

Or, you can just ignore the two nics in the server, and just connect the dsl modem to the router, and then connect all the other computers, including the server, into the router.

 

This is a Gateway problem. All the systems are the 192.168.1.0 subnet are pointing to 192.168.1.1 as the gateway, which is probably your router. However, your only system that is connected to two networks (and that could therefore act as a network gateway) is the Windows 2003 Server that has the IP of 192.168.1.12.

You will need to reconfigure the Server to do the following:
1. Act as a network gateway.
2. Change the DHCP server to issue the Windows 2003 Server's IP as the gateway insteaf of 192.168.1.1 (or change the address to 192.168.1.1, but then you need to change the DNS server IP to reflect hat it's not on IP 12 anymore).

I'm curous why you're not using the router as the DHCP server and Gateway. That would be a whole lot more secure. If you're serving a website or an ftp server from the Windows 2003 Server, you would just need to forward the appropriate ports to the Windows 2003 System.

Additionally, the WINS server for the DSL connection and the DHCP server listed on the client is 192.168.0.1, which is a different subnet and confuses me. Is that the router? Is the router still configured as a DHCP server?

 

Thanks for the reply.

i am just messing around with 2003 so i can learn how to setup DHCP and all that good stuff.

what do you mean by reconfigure the Server to Act as a network gateway.

i changed the DHCP server to issue the Windows 2003 Server's IP as the gateway 192.168.1.12.

i enterd 192.168.0.1 in the WINS and the DHCP server by accident.

so this is what it says now. i also have an attachment of what my DHCP server looks like.

The server need to know that it is responsible for relaying TCP/IP packets from one network to the other. Honestly, it's been over 3 years since I've even looked at setting up a Win2k server to do this. I don't remember how to do it. I haven't set up a network with a server as a gateway ever. That's what routers are for.

Come to thing of it, I think you need to enable Routing and Remote Access. Specifically, Routing, and then configure the Routing tables.

You've also got a domain specific suffix of "domain_not_set.invalid", which suggests that the server is not in a domain, and that confuses Windows Server. Dunno if it's a problem or not.

 

ok.
i had it setup the other way before.
server to router ,dsl to router,router gave dhcp addresses.
but then i started to mess around with vpn. when i vpned to my server it would work once then never work again id get an error 721.
thats why i was trying to set my server as a gateway.


thanks
