I am running Windows Small Business Server 2003 and I have one network connection to the internet. I can connect server to local intranet but cannot connect to the Internet. When I type in the ip address, default gateway and subnet mask for connection to the internet I get the following alert:

"The IP address specified for the local IP address of router is not within the same address space(subnet) as the IP address and subnet mask specified for the network adapter. This will resumt in connectivity problems."

Another Alert which I get for same problem is:

"Multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network (such as intranet or internet) they will not function properly when the gateways are on two separate, disjoint networks..."

Obviously both connections are not the same. What should I do to resolve this issue?

Thanks

how is your SBS box setup? 1 NIC or 2? did you run the connect to the internet wizard?

SBS works best with the 2 NIC configuration. First, 2 NICs allow the SBS local machine firewall to be enabled, second is if you ever decide to go to the premium edition with ISA server, all you have to do is install ISA without any addition configuration.

Thanks, still not working. Basically it will not allow me to connect to both the internet and intranet at the same time. I used the ISP's IP address, gateway and subnet mask but to no avail!

Then used the IP supplied by SBS for the local area connection. Neither of these two situations work.

Also when I try to repair the 1394 connection I get the Error Message: "TCP/IP not enabled"

I am connecting through a broadband connection and the ISP provides a static IP address.

IEEE 1394 is a serial port.

SBS works best with 2 Network cards. One for WAN and 1 for LAN.
