I am using Microsoft server 2003
I have been given this machine to reside in my room.
I have two other PC's in the same room and are both able to connect to the internet no problem.
I have attempted to gain access to the internet using the server.
In my attempts i found that WMNET1 and WMNET8 have their own IP addresses
WMNET1
IP 192.168.255.1
SUB 255.255.255.0
WMNET8
IP 192.168.30.1
SUB 255.255.255.0
With the change of addresses the LAN settings will need to change.
I have tried to connect to the internet and asked that an IP addres be obtained automatically. That did not work
I tried disabling WMNET1 and 8 then put through the request again. After doing an ipconfig i obtained the LAN IP address and a subnet but no default gateway address and was still unable to connect to the internet or give anyone remote access to the machine.
I then enabled WMNET1 and 8 and change settings to automatically obtain an IP address
I did an ipconfig and got back the same LAN address with subnet and the same WMNET IP details as above and still unable to connect to the internet nor give anyone remote access
Do i have to change the settings in VMWARE to accomodate for the change of address? or do i have to change something on the server to allow internet access
I have been at it for about 6 hours now and being Easter and all no-one is around to assist so i am hoping someone out there is reading and can help.
Thanks,
Stevienix
