Yesterday morning I had to change my Win2k Server up a bit. I wanted a
new static IP address, and the ISP told me that in order to do that, I
needed a new NIC (MAC Address). So, I switched the cables on the back of
the server, and got the new IP for my external card.
I then reversed the settings on both NIC's, so that my (new) internal
card used the old internal settings, and the (new) external card used
the old external settings.
I double-checked the DNS server settings, and they were properly
updated. I don't use DHCP internally, so I figured that should be all
that I needed to do.
However, I have lost my internal network connectivity. The DFS no longer
works, from my network machines to the server, though it does work from
the server out. I also can no longer connect to the printer which is
connected through the server.
When I try to map an external drive, when I click on the browse button,
all the machines show up except for the server.
I've checked each of the workstations, and they can all connect to each
other, but as far as they are concerned, the server does not exist.
Obviously there is something on the server that I missed, but I have no
idea where to even start looking. Can anyone help me to figure this out?
Thanks.
