Server loses connection
« on: January 25, 2008, 10:05:07 AM »
Hello,

I have a weird problem.
Have had an SME server for a long time as server-only.

Recently I chose to do a Server/Gateway solution. But now I have a very annoying problem.

My server loses the internet connection, and therefore also all connected workstations.
To get the connection back I choose a reconfiguration from the server-manager web-interface.

If i connect a computer directly to my router, there is no problem at all.


It seems like my server times out after an hour with no activity on the internet from the connected workstations...


Anybody has a good idea how to resolve this problem?

Did you totally reconfigure your router/modem and disable DHCP & gateway functionality. You should also configure it for bridged mode, which basically feeds data straight through to the sme server.
The sme server in gateway server mode then takes care of all firewalling, DHCP, gateway services etc.
