that is also the dhcp server for both. But when i try to set up the domain under System Properties i get the error message that “the network path was not found” our domain is set to company.local
Any ideas what the cause of this could be?

Not sure if I have worded it correctly but I want a secondary server to issue IP addresses if the main DHCP server on the primary DC fails.

I just purchased a sony blu-ray player and its able to identify the network and its connected to the server just not the internet. It recognizes the network just not the internet and it says I need to enable the DHCP server but I dont know how
AND. I know for a fact that my password is correct because I use it on my ipod, laptop, etc. Its connected just not to the internet.

I have two DHCP servers with different subnet connect to the same cisco switch 3550 with 10 gigabit ports. Port # 2 connect to DHCP server1, Port # 3 connect to DHCP server2 and Port # 3 connect to dhcp client zone. Is it impossible to work out? If yes, please tell me on how to do it!
Thanks so much in advance!

As the administrator of a network, you configured a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses to computers on a particular subnet by creating a scope. However, the computers in the network are still not untilizing the service and instead are configuring themselves with APIPA address. You have double check and are certain that all host are correctly configured and connected to the internet and that the scope setting are alfo configured correctly. Futhermore, the serves is connected to the network properly,

I’m running a windows 2008 r2 DHCP server and made multiple IP scopes. I made a scope for servers and clients both containing 200+ addressess. The problem is when I boot a client computer, It receives an IP address in the server scope, not from the client scope. Both of the scopes still have plenty of address left. How can I fix this?

I am trying to use port forwarding to view security cameras over the internet. My camera system, using DHCP, has an IP address of 192.168.0.100. The data is set to come out of port 1026. The camera system is plugged into a hub with an IP address of 192.168.0.1 (set statically). That hub is, in turn, plugged into a DSL modem (which can also work as a Wireless Hub/DHCP server) with the internal address of 192.168.0.2 and an external address of 71.38.68.47. Internally, I can see all devices on the network whether I am plugged into the hub or have linked to the wireless modem. I have set port forwarding on the DSL modem to forward 192.168.0.100 port 1026 for both TCP and UDP protocols. It seems like I have done everything right. I have set-up a similar arrangement in the past with success. But currently, I cannot call the WAN IP address of the modem : port number of the cameras and get the picture. Maybe it is in how the modem and wired hup are linked. Appreciate any help.

I’m looking for commercial / open source DHCP servers that are most commonly used. I know Linux, Windows and Solaris are platforms where dhcp service can be run from, but a few more names that are commonly used would be helpful. Thanks !

I have a Windows 2000 server connected to a hub. I also have about 20 Windows XP machines (clients) connected to this hub as well. I also have a Netgear firewall, which is connected to both a cable modem and the hub.

The Win 2000 server has IP 10.100.100.1, and the Netgear firewall has IP 10.100.100.141.

Right now, what I’m doing is going to each client and configuring the Default Gateway entry manually. What I’d LIKE to do is have the client’s IP settings set to “Obtain IP Addresses Automatically” and have the Netgear’s IP address come up automatically.

I’m assuming this can be done on the Windows 2000 server, as it’s the DHCP server on the network, but I have no idea how to do it.

Could someone give me a step-by-step on how to do it?

Also, is this the best way to get my network to have internet access? Right now, each client loses internet access about every 10 mins, which a “repair” will fix, but it happens so regularly that it’s getting to be disruptive. Tnx for hlp!

It’s just a little problem but I’m just curious…
Whenever I log into my router’s setting and “check the interconnection” the DHCP server can not be found. However when I try it a second time it can be found. It goes on in this patteren for ever!

Is there anyway to fix it?

Hey,

I have a couple of DNS-321s (each with 2x2T drives)and just bought a DNS-320. I’d like to create a couple of RAID 1 boxes by adding a new drive to an older, with data content, drive.

This may be a silly question, but, if I removed a drive out of one of my 321s and put it in my 320, will I loose any data…will the 320 format my old 321 drive or will it recognize it as an already formated drive?

Forget to say, I have tried to transfer via FTP with a CROSSOVER LAN CABLE and I got the speed of your test (about 25-22mb/s).
Is not strange ? I mean was attached directly with two gigabit lan port (one of the Nas one of the Macbook).

Hi,
I have read your article and is very intresting!
I have buyed the D-LINK Nas few months ago, but is really slow in download-upload of files!
I have tryed via-ftp and nothing changed (it is about 1mb/s) and via share (it is about 5mb/s).
Network is a simple network with a Router with 100mb ports.
Any hints? Why it is so slow??

Hey,
I had a similar problem with my 320… I use my laptop (Win 7) on a domain during the day but have my nas on a homegroup. After I got that message, I removed the network path and re-mapped but selected to specifiy diferent user details. Path was 192.168.0.32\Volume_1 which was the default for me and username was nas\administrator

I hope this helps,

Will.

Hi
This was actually quite a helpful review and contained a lot of useful info. I particularly liked the author’s patient and polite replies to the trolls who featured with their half-cock smart-ass comments. As an IT professional (for over 30 years) I agree that simply having RAID 1 is not a guarantee that your data will survive. The recent devastation in our City (Christchurch, New Zealand) illustrated that quite well. One of my clients had a a system running three disks in a RAID 5 volume. Two of the drives did not survive. Fortunately we had a tape backup off site and were able to restore the system. For this reason a strategy of having geographically separated NAS units (be they cheap or expensive)is a realistic solution.
Keep on blogging!!
