Default Gateway & DNS Not Assigned -SBS2003

kaymorris · 01-06-2009, 03:27 AM

Clients on a SBS2003 network are not being assigned a DNS address or default gateway.

I have the following scope options set up in DHCP server:

003 Router Standard (LAN IP Address) Default Routing and Remote Access Class
006 DNS Server Standard (LAN IP Address) Default Routing and Remote Access Class
015 DNS Domain Name (Company domain name) Default Routing and Remote Access Class

Also, when setting WAN to Basic Firewall only in RRAS, the internet connection is lost on clients (with DNS and Default Gateway static on client LAN connection). Is this related?

Ok, i have managed to solve the problem by adding the following scope:

003 Router Standard (LAN IP Address) None
006 DNS Server Standard (LAN IP Address) None

So i'm assuming that there is something wrong with the RRAS? How do i sort out RRAS? I need to be able to enable Basic Firewall on the WAN so that VPN users can access their computers.

I have previously had problems with RRAS on reboot of the server, Rarepair.exe has fixed this problem every time but it's obviously not ideal!
