    Cannot view own website from internal network

    Glad to hear things are working, fandabbydosey. Because you are now providing DNS for your internal clients, another thing to watch out for is email. If you provide email addresses (fandabbydosey@company.com) for your employees, you also need to add an MX (mail exchanger) record. This is...

    Disabling local user accounts?

    Before you delete the accounts, I would make sure you still have at least one local account with admin privileges that you don't delete. Been burned by that one when AD servers crash, logon/communication issues with domain, etc.

    Cannot view own website from internal network

    Unless this was just a copy and paste mistake, this is not correct: You only want www as an A record, not www.company.com. Try deleting the entry and re-entering it under the company.com forward lookup zone. Once that is done, try to ping www.company.com from the client. That should also...

    Cannot view own website from internal network

    You don't have to restart DNS. Also, you don't need the full name as an A record. It's based on the Forward Lookup Zone name. You should see a tree structure under foward lookup zones that's named company.com. When you enter an A record for www inside of the company.com zone, it translates to...

    Cannot view own website from internal network

    Your internal DNS servers assume they are the authority for your domain, let's say company.com. Therefore, whenever an internal client makes a request for www.company.com, the internal DNS server will only look at its own records. Try adding a "New Host(A)" record for www (or whatever your...

    local groups in NT on DC

    In NT and 2000, you can't create local accounts on domain controllers. This is a security measure that allows you to create accounts but not have users logon locally to a domain controller. When you create the accounts on the DC, you are making domain-wide accounts, not local.

    Printing through Remote Desktop

    If all, or some, of your users have the same printer type and they are named the same, I've had problems with RDP and Terminal Services getting the printers confused with one another. I know I found the answer in Microsoft's knowledge base. Could this be your problem?

    Creating a Server with a Dynamic IP

    There are numerous free services that provide DDNS (Dynamic DNS) for computers that have dynamic IPs. I've used no-ip.com in the past and it has worked great. For free, you can "register" a name like faulk.no-ip.com that will resolve to your dynamically assigned IP by loading a program...

    Is there a command to check if there's a port open?

    Another thing to look for is how your ISP is setup. Depending on your agreement, they may be blocking any ports lower than 1024. Some ISP's will give you a cheap internet connection but not allow you to run an FTP, WWW, or email server. Just another thought.

    Stop Port 67 and 68 from Broadcasting

    What kind of logical network configuration do you have? A router should not let broadcasts go to another network. The only reason would be if you have a "helper address" that takes broadcasts from one network and turns them into unicasts on another network. But your DHCP server should...

    Stop Port 67 and 68 from Broadcasting

    A DHCP server listens on UDP port 67. Whenever a client needs a dynamically configured IP address, it sends a DHCPDISCOVER packet to port 67 from port 68. Because the client does not have an IP address yet, this must be an IP broadcast packet (meaning send to IP address 255.255.255.255). The...

    TTL expired in transit

    If you are bouncing back and forth between two routers you probably have a routing loop problem. Router A thinks the best path is thru router B... router B thinks best path is thru router A... so on and so on until the TTL value decreases to 0. I would look at the routing tables on the two...

    Colliding broadcasts...

    The thing to remember about ALL switches is they are a layer 2 device. They build SAT tables that map a MAC address to a particular port. As ecafracs stated, each switch port is its own collision domain. But, when a layer 2 broadcast enters a port, the switch cannot make a determination as to...

    Stop Port 67 and 68 from Broadcasting

    Without more info, here's a quick explanation. DHCP uses ports 67 (server) and 68 (client). They are UDP broadcasts by design. The only way to stop that would be to remove DHCP server from your network and statically assign IP addresses.

    Win2K Terminal Service Client Local Printer Issue

    Hi all. Sorry to jump into the fray late but I've been fighting with a similar problem all afternoon. My situation is similar to lander215's. I have a WinXP TSC with an HP 1200 and an HP 895. Upon connecting to the Win2K TS, the 895 is recognized but not the 1200. I installed the 1200 drivers...

    Configuring Firewall in Linux (ipchains Firewall)

    Configuring Linux to run a firewall is pretty simple if you follow the Ipchains how to at http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html. This will not only give you examples on how to establish the firewall, but it is also a good lesson in networking. If you need some hard copy, try...

    HELP! MY START MENU & TASK BAR ARE GONE...

    Well, let's start with the basics. If your taskbar isn't really gone (it's just hidden), you can press the windows key to activate your start button. Or pressing Ctrl-Esc will do the same thing. If your taskbar appears, you can go to Settings - Taskbar and Start menu - and deselect Auto Hide...

    ISA Firewall service doesn't start

    ISA server has to have SP1 installed. It obviously seems like Wingate doesn't work with SP1 yet. I'm not familiar with Wingate but isn't there another option?

    What do I need for Web Server?

    ...IP address, and download a client that will automatically update No-IP when your IP address changes. BTW, these clients are available for Windows, *nix, and Mac. And if you want, you can enter MX records to play around with an email server. Whatever you choose, I agree with n0795, the only...

    How can i show directory contents in a web page?

    I believe if there is no default file in the directory (usually index.html), the contents of the directory will be displayed. I'm not sure how to have it updated every 10 seconds, but I'm sure there is probably a script that would do that.
