I have a client that had two SBS 2003 boxes on the same physical network with different domain names. One handles web and email, the other for QuickBooks Enterpise 8.0.

Believe it or not, remote users could hit the QB box, even though it was slow as molasses. They moved and now it can't be hit at the new location.

I know it's not supposed to be done, but it was working. Now they've asked me to straighten it out.

Any and all ideas are welcomed!

Do you have physical access to the old location? As you'll need to look at the way that that place was configured and setup exactly the same way in the new place.

As this was incorrectly configured originally you'll have to try to recreate the same conditions. Not sure how to though.

The old location has been torn down. My idea
at this time is to use 2 nics- 1 for external
and one for internal IP address. What do you
think?

But it could just as easily not do anything.

This was happening because of the way that the Network was setup and because I've never deliberately tried to do this I'm not sure that this would be of any benefit. A Bridge with 2 NIC just allows the traffic to pass straight through the Computer. If you where to keep them separate I can't see what help that would be either.

The client is 4 hours away, but I still might
take a run up there and try it!

If it had a separate external address, it
just might solve the remote user access
problem???

Just with that much distance to travel I personally would want to have a better idea that what I was about to try would work or at least had a fair chance of working.
