Pinging server replies with RAS IP

[Guest Cateyed]

Hi there,

 

One of my servers is doing the oddest thing. I think I've set RAS up

wrong.

 

My server has1 network card, with a manual settings as follows:

IP: 192.168.100.2

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.100.1

DNS: 127.0.0.1, 192.168.100.1

 

I'm running Windows Server 2003 with SP2.

 

It is running as DNS server, DHCP server and VPN server for the

network, and its all been working fine for well over 12 months. In

fact, it is still working fine.

 

I'm running my normal tests, and discover that pinging the server's

name from any workstation returns 192.168.100.116, even though its

static IP is 192.168.100.2.

 

Investigating, I discover that this is one of its RAS addresses. Its

showing up in DHCP leases as such.

 

Further investigation reveals that in RAS, I've got a DHCP Relay Agent

called "Internal". Under "IP Routing" --> "General" it shows

Internal's IP of 192.168.100.116.

 

I'm reluctant to touch this in case I break VPN. This was all set up

by Windows' RAS wizard.

 

Do you think it's something I should be concerned with, or just leave

it? I just wonder if this is effecting network performance...

 

Thanks for your advise!!

Hello Cateyed,

 

Get rid of the loopback ip, 127.0.0.1 and try again.

I have the same problem, but I do not have the loopback address in

dns!?! Any clue, is there a way to prevent the internal Ras interface

not to register itself in DNS?
