The win2k3 server has its ip set to a static IP under Control Panel>Network Connections. That IP is in the DNS server, so that dns requests for 2k3.ourdomain.com resolve to the correct ip (requests DO resolve to the right ip, so no problem there.) >Not being able to connect could be several things.

There is no firewall issue, because if there were, we would have the same problem with our other servers, seeing as they are all connected in the same spot. ANd the windows firewall, i can assure you, is deactivated. ICS (internet connection sharing) is also deactivated. Any kind of request (HTTP, FTP, ping, pcAnywhere, anything) to "2k3.ourdomain.com" DOES resolve to the correct ip address (64.xxx.xxx.04, for example). Additionally, any request from within our network to that machine (64.xxx.xxx.04 in this example) gets a response. An IDENTICAL request from outside our network, however, gets no response. The DNS address will resolve, but the machine simply does not respond. Again, there is NO firewall, so we are clueless as to why the machine will not respond. All we know is, it HAS to be something to do with the win2k3 o/s Written in response to: re: Server *unreachable* outside of local network (Curt R: Sunday, January 15, 2006 at 1:41 pm) Responses to this message: re: Server *unreachable* outside of local network (Curt R: Sunday, January 15, 2006 at 10:35 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Server *unreachable* outside of local network (Evan K: Fri, Jan 13, 2006, 11:37 am) re: Server *unreachable* outside of local network (Curt R: Fri, Jan 13, 2006, 3:47 pm) re: Server *unreachable* outside of local network (Evan K: Fri, Jan 13, 2006, 4:15 pm) re: Server *unreachable* outside of local network (Curt R: Sun, Jan 15, 2006, 1:41 pm) re: Server *unreachable* outside of local network (Evan K: Sun, Jan 15, 2006, 7:20 pm) re: Server *unreachable* outside of local network (Curt R: Sun, Jan 15, 2006, 10:35 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows Server 2003 Discussion Forum
