Do you know how to get a RSOP? Resultant set of policy? This will return all te settings for a specific gp.

Run this on your dc as the user you are trying log in as and it will return all active policies.

See here from Microsoft.

You can replace it with an external linksys or belkin and configure it for the lan.

But the way you have it set up now will not work properly. But th still doesnt explain the proxy issue.

Your isp line comes into your dsl modem the cable from the modem plugs into nic 1.

Nic 2 connects to your internal network. This is where you can put your wireless router.

Dont worry about the questions noob or ol’ skool we are here to help!

The way I configure my sbs is to have one nic getting the ip from the isp giving internet to the server.

Then activate dhcp on the server to give out internal addresses like 192.168.1.x to your network. The dhcp will give the dns info of itself and clients requests go through the server.

This keeps your internal network all secure and what not.

So if your server has say 66.66.66.66 on the nic connecting to your isp. And 192.168.1.1 on your internal side.

Then activate dhcp with a scope of 192.168.1.2-254 or whatever you need and make sure to add in the 192.168.1.1 as the dns server.

Now go into network connection properties and right click on one of your two connections and choose bridge networtk connections.

Now you have two seperate networks that can speak to each other. Give it a shot and let me know.

If not and you have internet access on the server I could help you out a little more remotely.

The server has two ethernet ports, one is configured with a static IP and points to itself as the DNS server, the other is also a static IP, but has the ISP DNS servers. Both have the wireless DSL router as the default gateway. In the SBS 2003 wizard, one is setup as the internet connection and one is setup as the server local area connection. This was the only way I could get the domain server recoginized to the PCs and also get internet access when I set this up. If I recall when setting this up, using only one ethernet port I could only get one or the other to work until I configured both ports with difference addresses and different DNS setups.

We have one static IP from ISP although its a bit hokey as we still configure DSL router as DHCP from ISP and it always gets same address.

Also, DSL router is a wireless router, which is why I have it configured as DHCP server and not the SBS 2003 server.

start

run

cmd

ipconfig /all

And can you post the results? How many ip addresses is your isp giving you Jeff?

can u send us a ipconfig /all from the client machine after it logs in?

1. Do you have other servers running AD in your network?

No, this is the only server

2. Have you configured any group policy? If so what have you added, disabled or changed?

No, I only used the various setup wizards in SBS 2003

3. Are you using static ips or dhcp?

DHCP, but there is a DSL router providing DHCP, this server is not.

4. Have you ever had a proxy running on your network?

No, never

5. Are you pushing out any software via AD?

No

6. Is this server also your DNS server? If so are your clients pointing to it as their primary dns server?

Yes and Yes

7. What service pack are you running if any?

SBS 2003 R2, SP1

thanks guys.
