I have a machine running server 2003 sp2 and a dlink wireless card on a small home network. The other machines can see it and access its file system, so it has internal network connectivity. For at least a year or so after I first set it up it could get out to the internet. For a few months now it hasnt been able to, either in IE or when I ping google (which times out). So amoung other things its not download patches. What has been happening - and I have no idea if this is the cause of the problem - is that sometimes after Ive rebooted it Ill get a dialog that there is a conflicting ip address on the network, which I havent been able to locate. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can trouble shoot this? Im thinking of upgrading to 2008, but I want to solve this first. The machine has 2 ip's as Ive used it as a web server. http://localhost works fine. Thanks very much, Mark Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790] (C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

Hi, Thanks for the post. How come you assigned two IP addresses to one NIC on Windows Server 2003? We may configure multiple IPs, in different IP subnets on top of the same physical NIC; however, personally I don't recommend assign multiple IP addresses to one NIC, as it may cause some Name Resolution issue or network connection issue.

Why two ips: so in IIS I could differentiate my test web sites by ip (with at least one of them using an ssl certificate in the future). This is just a test server, I dont think there is any reason for multiple nics. Do you think I should remove the extra ips and see if that makes a difference? Thanks much
