Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / March 2004same domain name web-site access outside of SBS network
Hi, I have done some reading through this NG on this subject and have realised I have incorrectly set-up our SBS2000 installation, in that the domain name of the server is the same as the domain name of our external web-site hosted by our ISP!! doh! Now, I have read the posts about adding a DNS forward lookup for "www" to the IP address of the web-site but this has been to no avail. The web-site is www.besafe.co.uk and the IP of the web-site is 217.199.170.223 as far as I can tell. I would REALLY appreciate any help you guys/girls can offer. PS adding a "www" host in the forward lookup zone of DNS for the ip address of the hosted web-site doesn't work, although I can ping www.besafe.co.uk & i can ping 217.199.170.223 from the SBS server but not from a workstation. Kind regards, Chris What OS are the workstations running ? It sounds like your workstations are not using your server's DNS.

Hi Rick, All workstations running XP Prof. Have manually entered the DNS of the server on them as 192.168.16.2 with the IP being assigned automatically. Looking at the DNS server properties on the "Interfaces" tab it does show "Listen on: Only the following IP adresses, 192.168.16.2" Regards, Chris > What OS are the workstations running ? > It sounds like your workstations are not using your [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > >Chris > >. Hi, Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Chris > Hi Rick, > [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] > > >Chris > > >. Chris, Do you have your DNS Forwarders set to point to your External DNS Servers? I would assume this but just want to check. Are you running ISA Server? Are the clients running the Firewall Client? This could be related to an ISA issue.

I am using ISA server, and the workstations are using the firewall client. In the Forward lookup zones of the DNS server I have the following; (same as parent folder) Start of Authority [144], besafe02.besafe.co.uk., admin. (same as parent folder) Name Server besafe02.besafe.co.uk. (same as parent folder) Host 192.168.16.2 (IP address of NIC connected to LAN) (same as parent folder) Host 217.37.43.241 (IP address of NIC connected to internet) www Host 217.199.170.223 (IP address of external server hosting the web-site). I'm not sure what you mean about "Do you have your DNS Forwarders set to point to your External DNS Servers?", I just ran the ICW. Many, many thanks Chris > Chris, > [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] > > > > >Chris > > > > >. Open DNS and right click on your server name. Click on the forwarders tab to see what the ICW did for you. I had to do the www at an account the other day. From the command prompt I typed ipconfig/flushdns and then ipconfig/renewdns? I don't recall the second command but it is not important. The first command is so that the old dud www references in the dns cache are deleted. >Hi John, > [quoted text clipped - 94 lines] >> > > > >Chris >> > > > >. Jim B. SBS MVP remove the mvp to send email Hi, still no joy. But, our ISP is changing the servers hosting our web-site on Friday. I'll change the settings then report back on Monday.

Changed the www host in our DNS to point to this IP, now when I try to connect to our web-site I receive a request for a username and password titled "Connecting to besafe.co.uk". I still can't fathom this problem, can anyone please help? Thanks, Chris > Hi, still no joy. But, our ISP is changing the servers hosting our > web-site on Friday.

Found out that the ISP was hosting our site as http://besafe.co.uk instead of http://www.besafe.co.uk Thus the forward lookup host of www was not working. Got them to change it and voila! All is OK. Thanks to all who contributed. Regards, Chris > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 123 lines] > > > Jim B. SBS MVP > > > remove the mvp to send email |
