Hi, I have a windows 2000 advanced server (sp4), with 3 more pc's xp pro (sp2). The network has a domain, and the server (fixed ip 192.168.0.1), operates dhcp, and dns. The xp machines are set to automatic detect settings for LAN, and used to have individual dial up conns for internet with relevant settings in those connections.
This worked fine (although slow internet) until I got broadband and a broadband modem router. This was installed on the LAN and given fixed Ip address of 192.168.0.254, and i have pointed all the pcs to this as the default gateway. Because now all pc's access both LAN and Internet via the one LAN connection on each machine, only one set of settings can be used, so there appears to be a problem with which dns to use. The broadband modem also is capable of dhcp and dns server, however these are disabled as the existing win2000 server is already providing this for the domain. It seems now that if I point the dns on the xp's to the win2000 server, ie 192.168.0.1 then the LAN works fine, ie file and printer sharing etc, but they dont have internet access.
If I point the xp's to the dns of the ISP, ie 62.24.199.10 (talktalk.net) then they all have internet access, but the LAN fails and pcs cant share. If you try to click a mapped drive on another pc, you get an error saying you do not have permission to access this, and/or it comes up with a logon screen asking for username and password. If you put your original one in again, an error says, you have entered the same that you logged on with - windows has already tried these and there is no domain controller available to verify this logon. ( or words very similar to these -I'm working from memory as I'm not there at the moment)
Can anyone tell me what settings to enter in the xp pc's and in the win2000 server please ?
