Big (please read HUGE) problem in the network


Recommended Posts

Hi to all,

 

I have a huge problem here in the company network

 

Pentium4/512Mb - Windows 2000 Server SP4, with Exchange 2000

no more updates via Windows Update, in other words, everything is updated

 

it's a random problem in time and the users with Windows XP (I'm the only

one using Windows Vista) get no connection whatsoever to the server.

 

they cant access to the shared folders

they cant receive any new emails

they cant access to the printers (all printers are shared in the server)

etc...

 

resolution attempt:

with the "deny" access to the server:

- I can ping the server with no delays

- I did the release followed by renew and the DHCP server from Windows

gives me back the new addresses

- I cant in any what to access //fileserver

 

to know:

we have 3 users using Windows XP

we have 1 user using Windows Vista

 

in the third user in W.XP it hangs for 1 minute but after she can access the

shared folders with no problems, this is a new USER in the active Directory

created in September this year, the other 2 were created more than 3 years

ago

 

on the time of the "hang/no connection" in the Taks manager there is no high

piks in the CPU usage

 

thoughts:

.. can it maybe there a script that runs "under cover" but only in the old

users? if yes, how can I discover such diamond?

.. how can I have access to receive the IP's using ipconfig /release ipconfig

/renew but I can access to any printer or folder in the server, not even

//fileserver

.. why this only happens at late afternoon? (arround 16.30 - 17.30) - Backup

is off and no scripts runs on this time or earlier.

 

I apreciate any idea or thought that you might have so I can investigate,

cause... I already passed my "know how" :-(

Re: Big (please read HUGE) problem in the network

 

Bruno,

1) What errors do you have in the client event log

2) Turn on full Auditing for the server, and what errors do you have in the

server event log?

3) What is the result of ipconfig/all on the server?

4) What is the result of ipconfig/all on the client?

5) What has changed recently?

6) What happens if the user restarts the PC when the problem occurs?

7) What happens if you restart the server when the problem occurs?

I deleted all the events and I'm waiting to the problem "pop up" again so I

can see the Event Viewer on the server and on the client.

Re: Big (please read HUGE) problem in the network

 

Hi Anthony,

Just looking at your clints DNS settings and I see 2 entries for DNS servers

that are not on your network (the tele.dk DNS servers).

My suggestion is: for your clients, only confgure DNS for the internal DNS

server ie 192.168.2.10.

On the DC which acts as a DNS server, configure Forwarders for all other DNS

domains and use the the IP adds for your ISPs DNS server.

I think this Might resolve some of the issues ou are seeing.

Re: Big (please read HUGE) problem in the network

 

Hi Bruno,

You have the wrong Preferred and Alternate DNS servers on your clients.

This should be set to your internal DNS server only, 192.168.2.10. You

should make this change in the DHCP service on the server.

Then in the DNS service on the server, set the Forwarder to your ISP's DNS

(which I assume are the others).

Just a minor point, but you seem to be running a WINS service but not using

it on the clients. You can either turn the service off, or add it to the

client settings in DHCP.

Hope that solves it,

Anthony, http://www.airdesk.com

Re: Big (please read HUGE) problem in the network

 

I had problems once about that

 

they simple did not work... I had to flushdns all the time, since I changed

the dns to the outside servers in DHCP instead the server DNS, in other

words, turn the DNS server off, everything worked fine...

 

can that be the problem... cause, I dont see how,

the server does not run as a "proxy" so, the internet connection is avaiable

to all independent if the server is on or not.

Re: Big (please read HUGE) problem in the network

 

Bruno,

If you find the ISP's DNS servers to be unreliable, you can:

- contact them to see if you have the right DNS servers

- change to using no Forwarder but instead use the automatic built-in root

hints.

You can not mix different DNS servers in the same client config like that.

If you still have problems after that, we can see what else may be wrong.

Re: Big (please read HUGE) problem in the network

 

 

Active Directory simply wont work without DNS. Your clients use DNS to find

Domain Controllers amongst other things. The external DNS servers will have

no records for your domain so the clients will not be able to find internal

resources.

Don't forget the forwarders on your DNS Servers or you won't be able to

browse the Internet.

Bruno,

If you still have problems, it won't be because of these settings, and

whatever it is we can try to fix it properly,

Re: Big (please read HUGE) problem in the network

 

You may also set the Node Type to 0x8 in your DHCP Options settings - this

would force client name resolvers to seek WINS, only then NetBIOS Broadcast

(if NetBIOS is enabled as in default).

Now it's Unknown - I have seen this be the source of slow Windows startup on

client ("Preparing Network Connections" phase).
