Actually restricting DHCP only to some users is not so easy. You could use RESERVATION, which assign "static" IP via DHCP (the same IP to the same WS). You cannot block people from discovering DHCP server (it's a broadcast request), unless you don't find a SW which can do this (I think it's quite impossible...). What does " but a pop up box keeps coming up once a user closes his / her browser." mean?

I think this is the longest post in this forum :D

When you open SLQ manager studio, select WINDOWS AUTHENTICATION and try. If this doesn't work, try with SQL AUTH (username SA).

I didn't know that DHCP must be authorized in order to work properly... Thanks for your share :)

Depending on what type of authentication you have selected during install, you may have or not the permission to login. If you have selected WINDOWS AUTHENTICATION, be sure that during install you have selected at least one user to connect to DB. try to login with username SA and the pass you may inserted during setup.

It should work with this: On ISA > Create a new user (New User Set Wizard) Name it domain users or what you prefer. I can remember there's a windows with the possibility to add a user, you have to look in domain for "domain users" and then click check names. Once finish, you can easly set permission to that "group" (better, user). Sorry but I don't have a ISA server right now... Hope this help.

if it is just a server (not a DC), remove from domain and, if you can, delete the computer object from AD. Then, rejoin.

Mhhh this make me think that your string is correct... Do you installed the last framework version? It should be 4. Also, the error you have should be OBJECT MOVED HERE and not object REmoved here. Is it correct?

I assume you can see nothing in event viewer...

Errors and warnings are importants, but in many cases they don't cause troubles with operations. We will see ;)

Well, I never tried to authenticate without username / password or at least windows auth. I just think you may have created a connection in visual studio (from the wizard) and you have the connection from there. Once you launch the program without visual studio, it doesn't know how to authenticate. Can you post the error message?

I have no idea. The only thing that I can read is "CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION" which means nothing to me! You could use WinDbg but honestly I don't think you will find something more...

yes.

Can you please upload the DMP file?

It looks like you may have some HW problem... try to change the cable first, then, if you can, change the NIC, you should have more than one NIC because of it is a server... I also suggest you to download the diagnostic tool from the official website of your NIC. For example, HP has a utility to check your NIC status. Let me know!

Well, in your network properties (DNS server), simply change the DNS from 127.0.0.1 to 10.0.10.100. I think this will help in some way, but actually I can't understand the cause of your problem... Where I live it's quite late, I have to sleep a bit. Keep posting, I will answer tomorrow. Cheers

Everything depends on how much you want to spend. Virtualizing and using a shared storage is good thing for many reason, but pay attention: - when you virtualize, you can create a pool with N servers (let's say 2), you attacch a shared storage (SAN). You create 3 VM (1 for IIS, 1 for exchange, 1 for SQL), this is just an example. Now your VMs are running on the SERVER1 which is the POOL's master, the second server is waiting for jobs (actually it can do something...). The SERVER1 fails (hardware problem), your Virtual System (let's say XenServer), move the VMs on the other server. You are up & running. This is the scenario evaluated by many people, BUT WAIT, what about a windows failure? I mean, something get corrupted, you can restart the VM but you have a bluescreen... what's next? Your SAN / HA / FT is almost unuseful. Here we have to use other technologies, for example clustering, CDR (exchange) or others, but all this technologies should be applied togheter. From my experiece, I used Citrix's products. Take a look here: http://www.citrix.com/English/ps2/products/product.asp?contentID=21679&ntref=prod_top Also check access gateway. Let me know.

wait. Do you have the same message on DNS log? Can you temporarly replace your router with another one? I think your problem can be related to the router... but this only if the error message has gone. Windows FW is ok.

easy. You have trouble with name resolution (DNS), from here the error "cannot create socket". When you PING DNS is just used one time to resolve the name to IP address, once done, the result is stored in a cache. When you ping and search, the DNS request is "overflowing" your bandwidth.

Just to make a try... Change the "All ip address" to the IPv4 address. run this: ipconfig /registerdns restart DNS service. Are you running any FW / AV?

I have the same though. Read my "last" post regarding the binding and so on...

Ok, let's try this: Open DNS Manager, right-click the DNS server name, then click Properties. Click the Interfaces tab, you should see the IP address of your system (10.0.10.4), if not, correct it. Then: Open Control Panel, Network, select the Bindings tab and verify that the bindings for all protocols to network adapters exist. Let me know.

I don't think so. When you disabled FW, you haven't resolved your problem. have you followed the guide found in the link above? What I mean is that MAYBE the problem is the "blank" authentication...

First post the output of: ipconfig /all Then try this: ipconfig /flushdns open internet explorer > delelete ALL browsing history Try to open www.google.com (it should be SLOOOOW) If it fails, no problem, we don't care about this. Now on Internet Explorer put on the URL bar this: http://87.248.112.181/ (this is the yahoo's IP) and tell me if it is a bit faster.
