My server for my website has been down for about a week. it all started when my ip address changed, i redid my DNS and fixed iis 5.5 to work with the new ip(i set it to broadcast on all available ip's) i went to my website and it worked. about a day later, i tried to get something off my website and the connection timed out. i went back and took down my firewall, undid all my filters and used a proxy to see if i could reach it. that did nothing. i then redid iis and all of my internet related items(network connections, my router). this didn't help either. i have come to the point where i am making a new server just to host my website. the only thing left for me to do is to uninstall iis and try to reinstall again. any help/comments would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Sorry I can't help you...in my mind anything expect *nix is not suited for server enviroment.

i shouldn't have said fixed, that was a mistake.
the closest thing to fixing it is to cut two somethings off.

but anyways, i have checked everything and it seems to be working fine. it is almost as if the firewall is blocking all incoming connections but i still can get on the internet. i don't know what to do. i'm uninstalling iis right now, let's hope that works.

Good idea

RavenChild · 2004-01-25, 17:11

well, well, well, what do you know, it still isn't working.
i even changed network cards, it still isn't working.

i just need a new server. (donations accepted) goto http://ravenchild.sytes.net/ to donate

i put together a new server, a PIII 866, 64Mb RAM, G-Force4 ti4200(overclocked even on a server), windows server 2003, 6 SCSI CD-ROMs, a 43Gb SCSI, a 10Gb SCSI, a 6Gb IDE, and 900 watts of power (a 500 and a 400). my case is huge 2.5 feet high, 1.5 feet wide, and 1.5 in depth.

I wonder...if it's server why not throw nix there?

SirJeannot · 2004-01-26, 14:29

my experience of using a server not just as a server but as a server too (complicated uh

) was quite bad with *nix.
i needed to control the desktop remotely through vnc, what is quite a mess and not very fast with X (don't tell me it's possible, i know! but i don't want any virtual desktop!).
so i have to stay with my w2k to be able to watch tv properly.
the hdd performance was quite poor too :/ when activating dma with hdparm, my console was flooded with errors, and i achieved 20MBit ... w2k allows me to transfer at 60MBit (ftp) even if the listing is slower.

but yes, *nix is good for a server env without any graphical env. my p90 works very well with it. even if *again* the hdd performance is poor, but i don't care for that one (scsi quantum fireball 6.4GB > ~2.5MB/s for the read-speed)

You need to update kernel and use force DMA. Also why EVEN bother with vnc when u have ssh?

in my opinion, server 2003 is a great increase in the already good 2000 platform, if you have it you need to upgrade. i have so much unnessesary stuff though, i'm 15 and my house has a webserver, a email server, and a domain controler.

SirJeannot · 2004-01-27, 07:03

it really depends on your needs.
in my case, win2k is just an os to run certain applications, present on *nix too
there are many option on win2k3 that i won't ever use (and others i don't anything about

) since it's aimed to be used for nt domains ...

RavenChild · 2004-01-27, 17:42

I somehow managed to fix my server. i don't know how but what can i say? it's M$.

SirJeannot · 2004-01-27, 18:41
