Server on two networks has intermittent internet connection

[Guest Brad]

MS Windows 2003

IIS 6.0

 

Our network is split and we in fact have two networks. Our web server

is able to see both networks (1 connection to the internal network and

1 connection to the external network) At this point, joining the

networks is not a viable solution. We are experiencing intermittent

problems connecting to the internet from the server. It maintains

connectivity since all traffic coming to the server is fine and

responds fine. The issue we are experiencing is that when we try to

connect to a web page external to our network, we get a page cannot be

displayed error. As the subject states, this is intermittent.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Are there some settings

that would direct traffic to one network adaptor over another? Any

help is greatly appreciated.

First things I'd do is check the routing table on the server, you should be

able to see which routes the server is taking to the internet. Also, try

tracert, to say, http://www.bbc.co.uk, or pathping, and see which route it uses. See

if this changes, when the fault appears, or disappears. It might be a

misconfigured switch.

 

Hope this helps.

William,

 

Thanks for the information. The next time the connection is not made,

I will make sure that I check the tracert. I have some reading to do

about routing tables but from the onset of it, we may need to add an

entry to send some specific traffic out, but I want to make sure first

though.
