Hi everyone!
I was wondering if someone could help with a problem I'm having. Our office is using Windows 2000 server and we have had a broadband connection to the internet (cable modem) which is shared amongst several computers in the office. Our office recently moved and I made the mistake of changing settings on the server to try and use a dialup connection till the cable was installed and ready to use. Bad mistake. Needless to say what I tried didn't work and now the cable internet access is ready and I can't figure out how to change back the settings to make it work with the cable modem again. The guy that originally set up the server to share the connection on Windows 2000 is not available to change the settings and so I'm trying to do it myself. I am unable to get get any webpages or ping anything when using DHCP through the server. Ok so far what I can tell you is that the cable modem is working as I connected a WinXP machine directly to the modem and set it to obtain and IP address automatically and that works.
Here's what I changed when I was trying to use dialup.
I dropped to a command prompt and put in
"route change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 {the gateway assigned by our ISP using dialup}"
Then when I heard our cable was up and running I put in
"route change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 {the gateway assigned by our ISP using cable modem}"
So after putting that in I got a message saying something like:
"Gateway not defined"
Can anyone tell me what I need to look for or do?
I restarted the DHCP server to no avail.
Please help!
Thanks!
