The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 migration change network configuration to use one NIC

Asked by dalsandhu in SBS Small Business Server, Network Routers, Network Design & Methodology

I am in the process of migrating SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 in a home/office environment and am having trouble with the configure network stage of the SBS 2003 server preparation which requires changing it from using 2 NICs to using 1 NIC.

Original set up is:

Router with DHCP server, IP Address 192.168.1.254, serving up IP Addresses 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.237 (and fusion handsets: 172.16.1.1 - 172.16.1.253)

SBS Server 2003:
Belkin Ethernet adapter network connection - IP: 192.168.1.65, DNS: 192.168.16.2
Broadcom Ethernet adapter server local area network connection - IP: 192.168.16.2, DNS: 192.168.16.2

Belkin NIC is external and connected to the router
Broadcom NIC is internal and conncted to a dummy router

Other PCs/Devices connected to internet via router

What I did was unplug the network cables from both NICs and plug the router cable into the internal Broadcom NIC. I then disabled the Belkin NIC in device manager.

Next I rebooted and ran CEICW. This ran without complaining.

ipconfig /all now lists:
ethernet adapter server local area connection - IP, DNS, WINS: 192.168.16.2

I lost internet connection from the SBS server and all devices on the network and could not connect to the router.

I have restored back to orginal config.

Any suggestions on how I should have proceeded?

Thanks
