How to setup 2 network updaters with small business server 2003 R

How to setup 2 network adapters with small business server 2003 R.
I had already installed an additional network card first before installing the program small business server 2003 R and then have 2 adapters.
But what I see is that after installing the program, it only recognized one network adapter: The secundary network card (no the integrated to the mainboard). The mainboard is an Intel DG33FB which uses a Corel Quad (actually the small business server 2003 R just recognize 2 processors but this is not the reason of this post).
The mainboard is ok because it was working previously fine but we decided formatted it because I prefered to install the new small business server 2003 R (the previous program was not R)

The program set the recognized network card (the additional adapter), as a server Local Area Connection with the IP 192.168.1.2.

We actually have another server working at this time, and it uses small business server 2003 (not R).
So, seeing this ‘old’ server, the plan installing the new server was:

2 network adapters:
1 for Internet (My network Connection), the integrated, with 192.168.1.2
and the additional as Server Local Area (not for internet) with 192.168.0.1 (what I see in the server working).

As you read above, the new server assigned the recognized network adapter with IP 192.168.1.2 being that this one is the additional adapter, not the integrated, and named “server local area connection” (no the network connection as I planned).

My question is:
Do I have to re-install the sofware?
Or do I have only to change the ip for that one already recognized?
And besides of that how to make the system recognized the integrated?
I tried to download the complete drivers of the mainboard because the 2 ones I am missing is a pci (what I assume is the modem which I am not going to use it) and onei s a network controller. I have the mainbaord disk and nothing to update that drivers with it, I went also to Intel and none of the drivers of them worked (by the way, none of them say that it is specially for windows server 2003 so I choose those for win XP).

What do you recomend? Thanks in advance for your help

Sounds like you need the INF update from Intel on your motherboard. That may also fix your core issue.

And is this SBS 2k3 R2 Premium? If so you will need to run the to do list after your initial install of SBS and run the ICW. This will properly configure your server for dual network cards. Use the wizards becuase of the tight integration of the components.

Thanks, I did what you told me and yes, after installing all that, the system recognized the 2 network adapters, even though it was hard for me because the drivers were not installed automatically from the disk that comes with mainboard DG33FB and I have to look in Intel and after several tries I did. Even though I still need a sound driver (audio device on high definition audio bus and a pci simple communications controller).

The problem that currently have is that when I was going to run the Internet and E-mail Wizard to set up Internet, I receive a message that says: “The wizard cannot set the DHCP scope options. Ensure that the DHCP service is running and a scope is defined. Alternatively disable the DHCP manually and then configure your client IP properties.”

I went to Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, DHCP on server and choose Action and Add the current server and what I see (after restarting) is that, that icon server.name of the company.local has the IP 192.168.1.2 (same as the integrated network adapter which is going to be the ISP Connection, internet connection). I am actually not an expert in networking connections but I suppose this is the internal adapter because is the integrated. (?).

The fact is that the integrated adapter is going to be the Internet Connection and the additional network adapter is going to be the Network Connection (no internet, only documents transfer), in the following way:
1st adapter: IP: 192.168.1.2 (Local Area Connection, it is going to be ISP connection)
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1

DNS: 192.168.0.1
Alteranate DNS: NOTHING

2nd adapter IP: 192.168.0.1 (Server Local Area Connection, it is going to be only Networking)
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: NOTHING

DNS: 192.168.0.1
Alteranate DNS: NOTHING

This is what I see in the current server which is working now (Windows Small Business 2003, no R) and from what I want to set the same characteristics to the server I am installing (Small Business 2003, R).

In the server which is working well and fine I am seeing that this icon server.name of the company.local has the IP of the Server Local Area (192.168.0.1) which is the adaptor that gives network connection and not internet. But in the server that I try to install is the reverse as I mentioned above (icon server.company name.local has 192.168.1.2). Is this the reason for what I can’t run Internet Wizard? If this is the reason, how can I change it, or I have to do it manually?

Other thing is that what I see in the 1st adapter (Internet) of the server I try to set up, in the WINS tab it doesn’t have any IP, while current server working has an IP 192.168.0.1

Does it have any relation with what I mentioned above?

Do I have to put it manually or first I have to correct manually the IPs order of the DHCP server.name of the company.local?

As a annotation: I went to Control Panel, Add programs, and I can see that in Networking Services, the DHCP is checked.

SBS MVP Mariette Knap has it pretty well documented in this widely referred to article. Follow it word for word, and you should be good to go.
