Server2003 Down Need Help
So yesterday my servers NIC decided to take a crap. Because of this my entire internet is down through my house. My server was doing normal DHCP,DNS and AD stuff.
So here is my question. My server was at 192.168.1.119
Is there any way i can use my VMServer and have that give ip address through my Cisco Gear. For some reason i have not gotten it to work yet and my machines are getting the normal no DHCP server available with the 169.254.x.x address.
My laptop is running my VMware and i was going to connect my laptop to the Cisco siwtch that way.
I already ordered a new NIC so i am just trying to remedy my situation for a few days.
Tried all the settings under vmware host bridge etc etc but with no luck

I would try setting up a few hosts statically to see if there is any connectivity between your servers. If there is, check to see that the DHCP server is seeing DHCPDiscover messages. Are you up and running with AD again yet?"Check both the destination and return path when a route fails." "Switches create a network. Routers connect networks." -

Just add a new DHCP/DNS server. It doesn't matter what IP the original was at. Just have the DHCP server provide the IP of the new DNS server as well (probably itself in this case). -

I keep one of these around for that very reason. I have used it more often at work, either to give people access to multiple networks, or to band-aid a bad NIC.

You can probably pick one up at a brick store somewhere locally also. Its a good tool to have around...kind of like an external HD enclosure. Just one of those tools that are always handy.
