i have configured Analogx proxy in windows 2000 Domain controller(for internet connection sharing).The clients are win 2000 pro and the domain controller is win 2k server.
The ip of DC is 192.168.0.1
The following is the error in event viewer
"The DNS proxy agent was unable to bind to the IP address 192.168.0.1. This error may indicate a problem with TCP/IP networking. The data is the error code. :0000271d"

Are you sure your IP address is 192.168.0.1?
For a class C address, it should be 192.168.1.1 up to 192.168.1.254 that would be a valid class C address.
Hope this is all it is
Good luck!

the ip address is 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Private ip address can be used from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.254.255
The error message is clearly displayed
in the question

I think bohicam has a point. A valid class C address would begin begin with 192.168.1.1 if using the subnetmask of 255.255.255.0 The private IP class C address uses a class B subnet mask (255.255.0.0) I think it might be what bohicam meant to say. Not sure if this will help but good luck anyways!

Do you have two network cards in the Win2K server?

How is the server connected to the internet? Via dial-up or a broadband connection?

Its not necessary to use a proxy server (such as AnalogX) if you only want to use it for Internet connectionSharing (ICS), but if you use a broadband connection on a second nic, then you will need to use some other tool to enable it as Microsoft's ICS for DSL and cable basically sucks.

After spending a whole day and a half trying Win2K server and Win2Kprofessional, I came to this conclusion.

Now I use raspppoe and it seems to work fine.

...However... if its simply dial-up then you can just enable ICS on the Win2K server. It works fine. Check out "Internet Connection Sharing" in the MS help for this.

When you do this, the Domain controllers IP address will be set to 192.168.0.1 (which it is already so no problems)

Cheers,
Tim.

Please check your Network + notebooks sir. The address you have stated is not a valid class C address. Your address is valid from a supernetting point of view but then the subnet would be wrong. I am sorry, your address with that subnet cannot work.That is your tcp/ip error.
