Can you connect to the server directly by IP address?  Try doing start > run > \\192.168.2.1

[beek]

no
network error
windows cannot access \\192.168.2.1

Can you ping the server from the Windows 7 PC?

From the command prompt:

ping 192.168.2.1

[beek]

yes i can ping it and connect trough ssh (putty)

[Peasant]

Can you check your workgroup settings? In your first post you have your workgroup listed as beek, but in your smb.conf it is listed as erik.

[beek]

both setting are now on erik and still not working

[beek]

i build a new machine and this is working good.
so witch files do i need to copy to the old one so that the okd machine is working

[stephdl]

can you tell us more, does your first server is done from a backup of sme8, does the second is installed without backup????

If the second is ok, the first should do.

Of course you have reconfigured your server

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

So the problem is not with SME server, but more likely your configuration.

Please show us the same configuration settings for your new server as you have shown us for your original server (ie all the settings from the Configuration panel in server manager & smb.conf etc) and we may be able to spot where you have gone wrong.

I would ask you to describe your network setup more thoroughly
 ie
do you have other servers on the LAN ?
is there a Windows server ?
do you have a seperate gatewall firewall device or are you using a bridged modem attached to the SME server ?
What mode is your SME server in , server only or gateway server mode ?

One odd thing I notice in your original settings is that you have a gateway specified that is on a different IP range (192.168.1.1) than the LAN IP for the server & the gateway specified in your workstations (both set as 192.168.2.1). That does not necessarily make sense as you say the first server is set in server gateway mode so the gateway & SME server IP should be the same (192.168.2.1), unless perhaps you have a static IP setup with a DMZ.

so witch files do i need to copy to the old one so that the okd machine is working

It is not that simple with SME server, copying & replacing selected config files will most likely mess up your server. You could do a complete backup & restore but that will transfer all the same settings & you will end up with the same issue.

One last possibility, after changing the workgroup name did you restart all servers & workstations on your network, allowing SME server to boot up fully BEFORE starting other workstations (& servers if any) ?

You need to provide more information as mentioned above in order for us to resolve your configuration issues.

The default gateway specified on his workstations is 192.168.2.1, which is the internal LAN adaptor of the server (which is in servergateway). The external LAN adaptor has a gateway of 192.168.1.1. It looks like it is a test machine set up on an internal network to me.

i got one server and that is the sme server and there are 2 windows 7 workstations en some nas disks and a media player in my network.

on both servers is a fresh install without restoring
after the server/gateway i have a router from my isp.
what have te settings from the router to do with not seeing the server in the network environment.

the gateway is on the sme server and routing to the isp route (192.168.1.1)
