Network Interface IP settings not sticking
Anthony 27.06.2007 11:42:03
Hi,
I've just installed SBS2003-R2 + Server2003-SP2 onto a new new server.

I have an external firewall/router, and am NOT using SBS as the gateway for
the LAN clients. I think i might have answered a question during the SBS
setup wrong - where it asks you about allocating a network card for LAN, and
one for internet.

Now, I can set ONE or the OTHER of my two network interface settings to
manual (static IP), but not the other - if i try to change the other, the
first reverts to DHCP. Even more strangely, once I set one to manual, if i
go straight back into it, its settings *appear* to have been set back to
DHCP, even though the it's 'Status' still reports it as manually configured.

This is NOT what I want! I need both set manually for LAN client access
(yes I know Windows/SBS is only intended for 1 LAN client NIC, but I've
worked this way fine for 7 years, including the previous incarnation of
SBS2003 on the old server), and I've never seen NICs behave like this.

Help!
Thanks, Anthony.

First, in order to keep things working you should always use the Wizard to
change the server LAN IP.
Second, having 2 LAN NICs will create problems.
What are you trying to achieve?
Give us more details.
