This is fun stuff right!!! Once, long ago, I get a bunch of calls from users telling me that our web site is down and they are not getting email. I check the various servers only to find out that thet're working just fine. I come to discover that our domain name has expired (cause our VP is...

That was some of the funniest sh11 I have ever seen :D

Thanks anyway guys. hehe.. I hate when I set something up and it causes a problem in a completely different area of the network :\

Are you talking about the old couple? They were FaceDancers. What was it you didn't understand? BTW, Brian claimes to have an outline of the 7th book which his father let in a safty deposit box. ALL of the books writen in the Dune universe by Brian and his partner are just awfull. They don't...

Found out what the problem was... My firewall had a 100 user license and and when over 100 different ip addresses tried to get out it shut um down. Simple reset of the firewall fixed the problem.

No, they cannot ping or get to any website using the IP address. I thought it might have been the DNS at first to. This is starting to drive me insane.. I do appreciate all the replies:)

Hmm.. Well, I don't think it's the router, cause some pcs can get out fine. So.. I'm pretty sure its the clients, I was just able to fix one of the pcs, it can now get out on to the interweb, but I'll be damned if I know what I did????? Seriously! It just started working. I went to another...

Nope, I used like 800 or some other large number

I don't know what you mean by ICS... I have narrowed the problem to users who have Win98 installed. XP and 2000 users have no problem at all. My internet is provided by an inhouse T1. The only thing I have running on this server is DHCP

The funny thing about all this is that the PCs that can't connect are getting a "not autherized to view this page" error, not a "can't reach this page" error..

Thanks guys:)

Do I need user lisences for either 2003 0r 2000 if the only thing I'm using it for is DHCP? I have 2003 set up to be a DHCP server, and all is going well, except after 10 people connect the 11th person can't get to the internet. They can ping any other pc on the network, and connect to oue mail...

I love this little app.. to bad I'll have to stop using it now..

"So, I like tried to plug my USB toothbrush into my PC and it started asking for drivers. I spent 45 hours searching online for them and then it still didn't work. So I tried pluging it into my Mac and it worked the first time! So I like totally saved my teeth!!"
