I attempted to install SBS 2003 this weekend on a brand new dell server. I used the dell open assist manager to perform the installation. The old network was running Novell with IPX/SPX and tcp/ip installed for internet. I copied all the data from the old server onto a pc. After, I took the novell server down and began installing the server. Here is step by step what happened. All clients are set with a static ip address.
1. Installed SBS 2003 on a brand new Dell server using the dell open assist cd rom
2. Network is on a Novell ipx/spx network with ip for internet connection. The ip addresses use 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
3. After installing sbs, I tried to ping the router (ad tran router) with no luck. I did all the tests to verify the nic is working(loop test, ping itself) and they were successful.
4. Only after configuring RRA(Routing and Remote Access) for lan routing, was I able to ping everything. I shouldn't need RRA but this was the only thing I could think of to do.
5. After configuring RRA, I was able to ping websites from the server but was not able to get on the internet via IE
6. After configuring RRA, I was able to ping from the workstations to the server by ip and name, however, when trying to join the domain, it would timeout after about 2mins and give me the message “ The Network name is no longer valid”
7. I took the firewall offline and tested to see if there was a conflict, however, I was getting the same thing.
8. The owner bought a new switch and we tried that with no luck.
The Dell server is a Dell 700, 2.8ghz, 1gb ddr, 1 Nic.
Any advice you guys can give will be much appreciated as I'm stuck on this one now.
