The wizard cannot set the DHCP scope options....' error when trying to open Internet connection wizard
Hi
This hasn't been quite right from the beginning. After installing SBS 2003 R2 Initially I didn't use the wizard to setup connectivity but used NAT in Routing and Remote access to configure the 2 Nics on board. 1 Nic is for the internal lan ip range 192.168.10.0 the other connects to the shared building lan which the router sits on. This has a 192.168.1.0 range. Now the only way I can get into the wizard is to use the 'change server ip address' wizard. I choose the same ip address and once this is complete the Internet connection wizard works. However it says it can't configure the network (a red cross appears next to it on the list) BUT everything appears to work fine after I close the wizard. All clients receive ip's from the server and can surf the internet. If I try to open the internet connection wizard again though I get the error 'the wizard cannot set the scope options......'
Any ideas?

I think you might be right. It kept presuming the 192.168.10.0 card was the external so I has to swap them over in the wizard. Will check the above and get back to you

Hi Olaf
The problem is I cannot turn off DHCP on the router. The router is shared with other companies in the building which is why I am using 2 Nics both with internal IP addresses. One for our network the other to connect to the shared network

Hi
I think I'm going to flatten the server and start again. There's nothing on it at the moment and a clean install will ensure everything works ok from the start.
Thanks
