Windows 2K Server doesn't like E-Smith? Help!
« on: August 22, 2000, 08:37:17 PM »
G'day all,

I've noticed something really annoying and queer...

Since I couldn't get diald working on another server, I d/led v4.0 and made a clean install of it.

The good news: Diald works fine - it dials out okay.

The bad news: If Diald is loaded, a Windows 2000 Server machine on the network cannot see it!

The problem with this is that the Win2K Server is on the net to run as an Application Server (Terminal Server) for Windoze apps. Therefore, nobody on the network can access the mail or internet, as the Win2K server won't even ping the address - it comes up as destination host unavailable.

However, from the clients themselves (at Win95 or Win98) they can ping and be pinged happily.

The E-Smith box can ping the Win2K box, but not vice versa. If Diald is left out at bootup, it all works fine... Except for internet access!


Has anybody come across this one?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,


Doc
