setting up internet on win2000 SBS

[Neil Jarman]

Hi,

I have set up several win2000AS systems, but I'm new to SBS.

I have a broadband modem, and h/w firewall configured. I want to set up SBS
to use this, but I can't ping the DNS or see any internet pages.

I have set the gateway to the firewall's IP address, and can ping this
address.

Am I missing the point? SBS seems to have many setting that AS doesn't.
Should I have something set in ISA, which I'm not familiar with?

Any help is appreciated.

Neil

Sounds like a problem with your router/firewall config - from it, can you
run any diagnostics such as pinging external DNS servers? Is it doing NAT?
Is it receiving an IP address, subnet mask, DNS servers and default gateway
from the ISP?

In addition: did you run the ICW-wizard from the SBS-console? How many nics
in the server? Does DNS on the servernic(s) *only* point to the server-IP?

Firewall & Router OK cause I can access internet from my laptop

Only 1 NIC - is this where I'm going wrong?

You don't need another NIC unless you want your machine to route, which I
don't recommend.

Re DNS on server -

All servers and workstations should specify *only* the internal
AD-integrated DNS server's IP address in their network settings. The
AD-integrated DNS server should be set up with forwarders to your ISP's DNS
servers for external resolution.

But if you want to have the full ISA working properly, it is recommended to
use 2 nics in the server.
And yes, DNS on the servernic(s) should *only* point to the server-IP.

Could easily be an ISA issue, did you run the configuration wizard?
Try bypassing the server with a workstation to connect to the internet
and make sure it isn't the firewall or broadband router.

.....but I don't recommend running ISA on a server doing anything else - one
of my biggest complaints about SBS is that it puts too much on one server.

And yes, DNS on the servernic(s) should *only* point to the server-IP.

But SBS has been designed to have it all on one box and if you do follow the
wizards, it works really nice. I like it anyway :0)
