Got it fixed -- turned out to be the gig0/1 config on the 2950. Was net for switchport mode trunk, and shouldn't have been. Sorry 'bout not getting around to posting the configs . . . Was chasing this beast from several directions. I'm sure if I posted the configs here first, the same discovery...

VLAN 3 Mask = 255.255.0.0

From a host hanging off the 2950, I can ping ONLY the 2950, and, of course, the other hosts connected to the 2950: nothing beyond that. Actually, RookThis, I'm not quite sure what you mean by assigning a VLAN to the hosts. If you mean they have IP addresses within the 2950's VLAN address...

Correction: the VLANS are created in the 4224 . . .

No routers in the mix. The only layer 3 piece is the old 4224 at the "other end" of the network. The 2950 is where the two (so far) VLANS originate. The connectivity is more or less like this: Six servers in two vlans --> Catalyst 4224 --> 3550 --> 2950(via GBIC Fiber Link) --> Network...

I have a 2950 connected via GBIC to a 3550. which, in turn, is connected to a port on an older 4224. I have 19 hosts connected to the 2950. I have 6 hosts connected to the 4224 in two VLANS (vlan2 & vlan3) The 3550 & 2950 are part of VLAN 3. From the 2950, I can ping any and all switches and...

I finally got those last four boxes to join the domain. yay. It appears to have been bad SRV records on the DC -- removed and "reinstalled" forward zones, and the SRV records came back as they should have. BTW, the DC is multihomed, the 2nd NIC is "disabled", though . . . But, it begs the...

If you mean entering DNS server addresses during the IP configuration process (all non-virtual clients have a static IP, BTW -- I didn't mention that in my first post) then, yes.

OK. this one is weird. I have an air-gapped Win 2k/Win 2k3 AD Network with less than 100 total nodes. As Clients on the child domain, I've 20 identical Dell PE's. All but four of these client machines have joined the domain successfully. These four "cannot locate the domain controller" With...

In a Win 2K active directory domain, is there a way to have new domain user's home directory default to a network path as they are added to the domain? ex. in AD domain this.here.domain, I add that.user: Upon creation of that.user's account, his/her home folder would default to...

Tried that: "promoted" the IIS guest user account to one notch below supreme being (gave temp admin rights); still denied. Additionally, while logged in locally as Local admin, access is not only DENIED to the web site content folders via Windows Explorer (???), but get the IE...

Running IIS 6.x, Win 2003 Server Web Edition . . . Checked allow anonymous access, un-checked all other authentication checkboxes in the directory security tab, and STILL get 401.1 errors. Verified anonymous user credentials (they are the same). Even granted "everyone" full control...

Win 2003 Server as a workstation client works OK. We kind of had to go there, as we've a lab with a rack of Dell 1750's used as clients in a domain, intended to be used (more or less)as rack-mountable "clones" of Dell Precision 450's . We started with the intention of loading XP on...

Just found out that the C: partition was NOT reformatted as part of the Win Server 2003 installation process. What might this mean?

My file/FTP server (educational lab network) WAS running Win XP pro, but we came up against that 10 connection limit. We have since "upgraded" (read: fresh install) to Win Server 2003 Web edition, but We're STILL experiencing that 10 inbound connection limit. Hostname and IP are the...
