2k3 changed it's name/IP now I can't find it on the network?

[Guest 2K3]

Fresh install then I changed the IP address, name and I went back to original

name and IP now I can’t reach/ping it on the network from that server I can

ping everything fine how I can fix this issues. Deleted it’s info from

DHCP/DNS server still same issues?

 

Thanks

You are unclear if you cannot ping by NAME or also by ADDRESS.

 

If by address then you have a basic networking problem: NIC, IP,

routing, firewalls (either intermediate or merely on the machine that

might be blocking ICMP/ping).

 

If address works but only NAME fails then you have a pure name

resolution problem, either/both of DNS and NetBIOS.

 

To check these you can usually use NSLookup to check the DNS

server, and nbtstat to see what NetBIOS resolution has taken place.

 

Perhaps the DNS problem might be using the wrong DNS server OR

failure to register the computer in DNS.

There is no windows/device internal firwewall at all i messed it up by

changing name/IP and I can't ping that server by name/IP i even let it have a

DHCP address same issue would someone tell me how to fix it?

You could try an IP scanner. That would show you ALL IP devices. You can

download a free one here: http://www.angryziber.com/w/Download

FYI.... it is not real accurate (misses some devices) when scanning across

multiple subnets, but on a local subnet it works great.

Remove any incorrect entry from DNS, add the correct entry to DNS,

either MANUALLY or through automatic re-registration of the "DNS

client".

 

IPConfig will let you release or renew your IP address, and also

/RegisterDNS to renew the registration with DNS if the client does

it for itself.

If you need an IP scanner (and more) then I would strongly suggest the

free AND reliable: NMAP

 

http://Insecure.org (nice people, no viruses or problems.)

Re: 2k3 changed it's name/IP now I can't find it on the network?

 

I had never heard of Nmap. So I just downloaded it and tried it. I think

I'll stick with the IP scanner I was using. I rarely need to scan across

subnets, so it's not a big deal. And it is much easier to use.

And I had a strange problem after using nmap; I lost my internet

connectivity. I still had an IP address, but I couldn't ping my router.

When I tried to do a ipconfig/renew, I got this strange message "The

operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this

operation". So I disable and re-enabled the NIC. Still could not access

the internet, router or do a renew. I restarted my PC; same thing. I power

cycled the router, and I could get on the internet again. I probably just

wasn't holding my mouth right, or something.... but that was very odd.
