Windows 2003 Server R2-DHCP strange

[Guest bgreg]

I was setting up new server in a small environment and domain controller has

2 nic setup for internet access.

 

Inside card set to:IP 192.168.01

SM 255.255.255.0

D/G none

DNS 192.168.01

Outside card set to: ip 10.10.10.11

SM 255.255.255.0

D/G 10.10.10.1 Linksys Router

DNS 4.2.2.2 (public DNS server)

DHCP Range 192.168.0.10-192.168.0.254 DHCP- Server01.office.local

 

NAT - Internal connection 192.168.0.1 and automatically assign addresses

192.168.0.10-192.168.0.254

External connection 10.10.10.11

 

The strange thing that happens is after activating RRAS the DHCP server

becomes

server01.mshome.net. I disabled RRAS and dhcp server returned to

server01.office.local.

 

ipconfig /all from client machine reveals:

host name pcname

primary dns suffix office.local

node type hybrid

ip routing enabled No

win proxy enabled No

DNS suffix search list office.local

mshome.net

upon ipconfig /release and /renew mshome.net becomes office.local

 

DHCP seems to work correctly with internet access and client getting IP

address.

Has anyone seen this? Any recommendations?

Hello bgreg,

 

Is the server SBS version? If not then reconfigure your network to prevent

you from lot's of problems. Multihoming domain controllers is a really bad

solution.

Connect all computers to a switch and the switch to the router, then configure

the DNS server to use FORWARDER under the server properties in the DNS server

management console, here set the ISP's DNS server. Use the Linksys router

only for routing not for DHCP or DNS, this should do the DC.

 

Best regards
