My Server is not anymore seen on network plese help ?

Dear all,

I have an SBS 2003 server which was working ok since a long time and sudenly
after a reboot , my client computer cannot detect my server DHCP.
I have noticed that mu FAI router as been updated and that DHCP has been set
to default value, so I wen to my router setting and desable DHCP mode.

Since that time without changing any setting on my server itself, my server
is not anymore visible from network and client are not able to receive IP
adress from my SBS 2003 DHCP address.

I have made following test :
On one of my client computer I have set manuall the IP adress that my server
is suppose to deliver, then I try to ping my server adress from my client
machine but no luck ping fails.

What can I check else, I am out of idea ?
Does the fact of having 2 DHCP at a certain time has made some messy things ?

Thnaks for hep
serge

SBS will shut down its own DHCP service if it sees another DHCP on the
network. Re-run CEICW to allow the SBS 2003 server to act as the DHCP
server for the network.

hello

after running the wizard client seems to get the dhcp setting from server
but I am not really sure because I a not able to ping the ip adress of my
server from client computer even by name.

but from my server I cqn ping my client either by name or ip adress.
So I guess somthing still wrong as it work only from server to client but
reverse fails

any idea is welcome I am lost...

regards

Please post the results of an ipconfig /all for the sbs server.

Also, run a scan with the SBS 2003 BPA to see if it can find any problems:

As Merv's said, if SBS detects another DHCP server, it shuts down.

To my way of thinking, you could probably fix it by just restarting the
DHCP service, or just reboot the Server and it'll run again.

Double-check that your router DHCP is not running.

And also what Merv said, if problems continue... post an ipconfig /all
from the server and a workstation.

Here is the config /all;
Host name . . . . . . . . . . : SOLATYS
Suffixe DNS principal . . . . . . : solatys.local
Type of node . . . . . . . . . . : unknown
Routing IP activated . . . . . . . . : yes
Proxy WINS activated . . . . . . . . : Yes
Liste de recherche du suffixe DNS.: solatys.local

Ethernet Connexion au réseau local du serveur :

Suffixe DNS propre Ã* la connexion :

It is in french but I have translate main points. As you can see the DHCP is
still not activated and can not find out from where I should activated: I
have run many times the wizard...

Type of node is also set to Unknown
IP 192.168.1.1 is my adsl router adress

BPA did not say anything

thnaks for help

In the ipconfig result, DHCP should NOT be enabled on the server NIC (you
don't want the server NIC IP address to change unexpected).

reboot does not help
Here is my latest test

If I set my client PC using DHCP; it recieve private adress as it can cannot
get it from DHCP server
If I set my client PC manually the suppose adress to access my server as :

IP : 196.168.1.110
255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.102 (my server IP)

Then aith this I cannot ping my server but I can ping my router at 192.168.1.1
From my server side I can ping my client PC

I run out of idea
