Problems with Windows 2003 Networking Setup |
|
|
Hey all,
I recently purchased a dedicated windows server 2003 hosting package from
1and1.com, based upon some recommendations from friends. They automatically
install an image of Server 2003, along with some security lockdown
procedures. The problem I am having is that, although nslookup will
correctly resolve names, IE will not browse to a web page (Cannot find server
or DNS Error). This means that I cannot run windows update, which is a
problem for me.
I have triend numerous things, including removing all IPSec security
rules, making sure that TCP/IP Filtering is off, and disalbing the windows
firewall. I can connect to incoming port 80 succesfully, as I am currently
hosting a webpage on the server (nothing real, just for test purposes).
I intend to have 1and1.com reimage the server after I am done 'messing'
with it for the first go-round, but I would like to know why IE won't open a
web page, as this is a deal breaker for me. Any help would be greatly
apprecieated. Thanks :-)
By the way, I do have a support ticket in with 1and1.com, but their
response time is a little too slow for me. |

What are the DNS settings on the server? Where is/are your DNS server(s)? It
sure sounds like the DNS configuration on the server and/or your
workstations...

The dns settings (in network TCP/IP properties) are set correctly, in that
they are set to the DNS settings approved by my hosting company. There are
three DNS servers, a primary, secondary, and (I think this is the word)
tertiary. nslookup does work from a command prompt, I have checked it with
other computers, and it is properly resolving host names into IP addressess.
Internet explorer gets the correct IP also (IE displays 'connecting to
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and the x's represent the correct IP for the entered domain).
This is what I thought it was, too, but I can't reconcile the fact that
the domain names appear to be resolved correctly with the thought that the
dns stuff is broken. I could be wrong, so if I missed something easy
regarding dns setup (god, I hope that's what it is), just throw it out there.
Thanks for the help :-)
