no just the standard starting messages. the only errors are the intersite messaging service.

well i got the message again this morning, "Windows NT intersite messaging service has stopped working. windows can check online for a solution to the problem." so i have it check online and this is what i get... nothing it just closes!

yes the DHCP is running

thanks glennda, i will try it and we will see in about 24 hours whether its fixed or not.

i did have it pointing to my internal DNS server (127.0.0.1) but it said that it could not find it. am i supposed to use one of the IPs that i have assigned to either of the nics?

when i try to find a solution for the problem i get "cannot communicate with the primary DNS Server 127.0.0.1 should i change that to the IP address for my WAN or my LAN nic?

well its been about 24 hours and it did it again. i got a message "Windows NT Intersite Messaging Service has stopped working" every time and i am forced to restart the server in order to get the internet back.

thank you both, i removed the power management check box, and for some reason i put in the DG thanks again...

hello all, a little back ground, i am currently in school for my BS in network security, i have an HP priliant DL385 G1 that i am using to practice on. i have an HP Proliant DL385 G1 that has dual gigabit NICs i use one to connect to my normal network and the other to service my kids network. the NIC that is connected to the network that provides internet access is acting like its shutting down; its not allowing icmp traffic or http traffic (or any type of traffic that i can tell) but yet its still saying that its connected to the network in the network and sharing center. i am forced to have to restart the machine and then it will work fine for about 24hours or so i have a statically assigned IP address to each NIC. i have the "WAN" (NIC connected to internet side) NIC IP address reserved on the linksys E4200 router. the MTU on the router is set to auto. can any one please help me with this. thank you Eric
