How to make an intranet

[angel216]

I need help.

This is the situation: We are W2k enviroment with Active Directory domain. We created a application that we
want only our internal clients to use. What do I do?

I added the host in the the Forward and Reverse Lookup Zones. When a clients inputs the address in IE it finds the application and at other times it seems that it just doesn't find it. What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We need a little more info. Is this the only one that doesn't work. How's your setup as far as the network? Glen A. Johnson

Personally I would create a website (hosted somewhere in the network). Force a link to the website to all users, then base the install file from there (the website) with a hyperlink.

Then after the install is accomplished, on the same web site you coudl have a link to automatically run the program from a specified location (somewhere on the network) as well.

I find that the easier it is for the user, life for you becomes much better...

Good Luck!

Glen,

We are trying to make this application run in our intranet. Setup, well everyone either runs W2k or Wxp, our servers are all W2k in Active Directory and we have (2) T1 lines for redundancy.

Our LAN clients, for example type in

http://intranet/

in the browser. At times the application opens up in the browser with no problems, but other times the application does not open up. It seems like it disappears. I haven't change anything. I check the DNS and the host entry is in the Forward and Reverse Lookup Zones.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

1)Check for errors in the event logs
2)Make sure browsing is turned off on the clients
3)Do all the pc's get there at one time and not others, or is it certain pc's? If it's certain pc's, do ipconfig /all and compare the good ones to the bad ones. Glen A. Johnson
