Hello RJ,

Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup.

According to your description, I understand that you received the error
message "Event id 1053 - Windows cannot determine the user or computer name
of the specified domain either does not exist or could be contacted group
policy processing aborted.", when the network connections is temporarily
lost. If I have misunderstood your concern, please don't hesitate to let me
know.

Based on my research, the Userenv 1053 "Windows cannot determine the user
or computer name" error could occur if there is an DNS name resolution
issue. As you mentioned, you have a Linksys cisco router with firewall
doing the DHCP( DHCP & DNS on server disabled) as suggested by linksys.
Please enable the DNS service and re-run the CEICW wizard to configure the
DNS. To do so, please perform the below steps:

1) Leave the Default Gateway of the internal NIC blank.

2) Configure both the internal NIC and the external NIC to use the internal
DNS Service as the DNS Server.

3) On the DNS Server, create the DNS Forwarder to forward the external DNS
resolution requests to the ISP's DNS server. See:

4) Strictly followed the instructions in the KB article below to run CEICW:

2003
