Servers - Configuring your IPDiy-Computer-Repair can help!Why a Server IP needs to be static ...When
installing from the Server installation cd the set up program will find your NIC, then it
will prompt you for the IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP. If this is the
first server in the Domain see Configuring a Domain page. On the General Properties page you will see the IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings. These are required for static IP settings. Once you have these set click on Advanced, for normal operation the Gateway Metric should be set for Automatic metric. If you are having problems connecting to the gateway router and have a switch between the server and router remove the Automatic metric check box and set it for 1, then edit the gateway IP and set the metric for 1 there also. This will tell the network software to increase the time out before returning the device not found error. Next click on the DNS tab, there should be a DNS address here, if not add the DNS IP. In addition to the IP you should set the Network DNS suffix. Click the radio button Append these DNS suffixes and then click edit and add the Domain name. Add the Domain name to the box beside DNS suffix for this connection. Then click the check boxes for Register this connection's addresses in DNS and Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration. (This will automatically register the IP and computer name with your DNS server). Next click on the WINS tab, add your WINS server IP. Then drop down to the radio button for Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP and click it. (This allows you to use DNS names to search for computers/devices). Close all pages back down to the Local Area Connection Properties, on the General tab at the bottom are two check boxes. If you want to have the network connection visible in the tray click the check box for Show icon in notification area when connected. (This is a good idea when troubleshooting a network problem or when you have more than one NIC's installed in a computer). Then I uncheck the box for Notify me when this connection.... (You will know when your network connection degrades, this is a pop up if you want to be notified). Close all pages. If you have more than one NIC in the computer you may want to name the NIC's, naming the teamed NIC's will allow you to see when one of them has failed, also if you team your NIC's naming the team software will make it more visible. Once you restart your server you are now ready to join your server to your domain.
