Hi
I don’t have a lot of experience with 2003 server but one of my clients called me out yesterday to come and fix an internet problem after a power failure. The fault I found was that I could only go on the internet from the server and none of the other workstations on the network. The ADSL modem is connected on a second NIC on the server and then with the onboard NIC to the switch. I can’t ping the server form any workstations and I am sure it is not an IP problem. I gave the second NIC the same address as the onboard and disabled the onboard. Same problem. I also tried another port on the switch and it is a no go. I changed the IP in the ADSL modem to the same range as the network and plugged it into the switch thus bypassing the server. So now I got my client up and running for internet but still didn’t solve the comms problem with the server. Offline files also don’t work now and it I create a new user on the server and try and log in with it on a workstation it says sorry. I also a weird one, I can browse the share on the server. I’m totally confused. Help?
