Unable to ping or get dhcp


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I'm currently testing disaster recovery for exchange 2007.

I have two servers on a private network with no gateway to the net. I have installed server 2003 with DNS and DHCP on one server which is the domain controller.

I have built another server with windows server 2003 with no roles. This server is on the domain and can currently pick up DHCP address’s and use static addressing to use remote desktop etc. So I run the exchange setup and it gets to installing mailbox roll then fails telling me it cannot reach the domain. Now the static IP address has turned to DHCP and I can no longer pickup a DHCP address, if I set the static again I cannot ping the domain controller but I can ping other thing on the network????

I’m at a loss,

Any ideas?

Bout to go to download fest also any one going to that?

:huh:

Il put this down to shi* hardware! The server started to respond to pings today. As soon as i plugged in another workstation it would stop. If i restarted the switch all would be ok.

Thanks anyway allen2
