DNS Router & Server Setup Issues
I'm running a Mac OS X Server on my local network. I have a D-Link 655 router that connects the machines and conencts to the internet.
I'd like to use OS X Server's DNS instead of my ISP's. In the D-Link Router I've set the DNS to the OSX server in the WAN section. Unfortunately it doesn't allow my clients on the network to connect to the internet when I do this.
If I set the DNS on the client to the OS X server it works fine. Or if I set the DNS on the router to my ISP's (or Google's) it works fine too.
Is this a route configuration issue? Or is this an OS X Server issue?
Any thoughts on how I might figure out where the problem lies and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance
Your DHCP server needs to pass out the IP address of your DNS server (only).
In general, you should not include any references your ISP DNS servers anywhere on your network. Not in your DHCP server, not in your clients, and not as a forwarder within your own DNS server configuration.
When you make the change, renew the leases of the devices that have the old address if needed, and alter the hard-set DNS server settings in the devices that don't use DHCP.
The one sort-of exception to this: your DNS server should have its Network settings DNS server address set as 127.0.0.1; as the localhost address. Not as its IP address.
And in general, routers don't do DNS. (Though it's common for folks to refer to devices that provide routing, NAT firewall, potentially VPN servers and other services as a "router", technically routers don't typically include DNS services. And very few gateway devices - even the fancy ones and expensive ones - implement DNS services.) Routers (and particularly the usual sorts of network gateways) can generallty have a DNS configuration for two reasons; to forward DNS requests to an upstream DNS server(s), and to have a DNS server address for an embedded DHCP server to pass out to DHCP clients.
In your particular case, the IP network connectivity is very likely present in both of your test configurations, it's that your clients aren't getting DNS translations.
Probably more than you ever cared to learn about setting up DNS services on OS X Server.

Directory Server setup issues.
I recently installed the new OS X Server on my new iMac. I have two iPhones, two iPod touches, the iMac and an Air that I want to serve. I registered macserved.com and have a static IP. As far as I can tell, the domain and DNS is set up correctly (to serve internal DNS). I had a wordpress blog running for a while and can access it both internally and externally. MySQL was a pain in the butt to configure, but I figured it out. When I started the config for Profile and OD however, I get this error:
An error occurred while configuring iMac as a directory server. Please check your network configuration and try again.
So I first checked my hostname:
Primary address = 192.168.0.6
Current HostName = macserved.com
DNS HostName = macserved.com
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
A little dig output:

I'm not certain it is a DNS issue, but I'm fairly new to DNS setup so I cannot rule it out.
Where should I start looking? What should I be looking for in the logs? I'm cool with scraping everything and starting over as well. Right now I have zero invested in it (no files that need saved, etc) but I would PREFER not to reformat/reinstall OS X though.I figured it out! My certificates were hosed. I rm -rf the Authority in Library/ and recreated the certs after DNS was setup properly. Works great now aside from a few other website issues, but that is another thread :-)

Shared Review comment server setup issues
I've been having some issues setting up a comment server/repository for Shared Reviews in Acrobat 8 (for our all-Mac network). I've done extensive research on how to set up a Network Folder and a WebDAV folder (since those are the only two supported methods in Acrobat 8).
- For the Network Folder setup, I created a folder on one of the machines on our network and shared it using SMB. When specifying that location (using smb://IPAddress/Folder/), Acrobat either 1) brings up a login screen, into which I enter the proper credentials, and after pressing OK, it says the connection could not be made, or 2) it verifies the shared folder location, but when I make comments and then choose Publish Comments, a red box appears saying something to the effect of "cannot access IPAddress, will keep trying."
- I also tried using WebDAV. Solutions I found online mostly consisted of using the Terminal to access system files and entering numerous lines of code. I pretty much had to learn about WebDAV from scratch today in order to get the Shared Reviews process set up, but I feel like there is something I'm missing regording its implementation.
I suppose this post can be boiled down to three questions:
1) What is the best way to set up a Shared Review system, and how can it be done in the simplest manner possible?
2) What am I missing from my knowledge of Network Folders and WebDAV folders in this regard?
3) Would functionality be benefited by simply upgrading to Acrobat X?

Auditing file server setup issues - nfs permissions
I have half-dozen Solaris 10 workstations requiring Solaris Auditing enabled and audit files saved. I used a spare Solaris 10 system with 2-72GB disks and formatted 2nd disk for entired 72GB. I shared out the 72GB partition on this system and modified /etc/security/audit_control on a test Solaris 10 W/S to use the shared-out partition on Audit file server as primary audit directory. Following directions in Solaris 10 Admin Gde I chmod -R 750 the mount pt using the 72GB partition before sharing out the partition. However, all client W/S's that I enable Auditing would not use the 72GB partition on file server until I went back and chmod 777 the partition and rebooting file server. Also, on any client that I have enabled Auditng to use nfs-mounted 72GB partion on file server I cannot as a non-root user issue a "df -k" command without getting error:
df: cannot statvfs /var/audit/fmaud.1/files: Permission denied
Is this normal or did I miss a chmod step or two in setting up Audit clients and/or Audit file server?The roundcube db schema needs to setup manually. See /usr/share/webapps/roundcube/INSTALL

Wireless Print Server Setup Issue
I have tried to set my MacBook Pro utilizing my D-Link DPR-1260 print server. I get the following warning when I try to use the setup wizard:
Unsupported Operating System. The Printer Setup Wizard supports only Windows XP/2000/98/ME operating systems. Your computer uses the MacIntel operating system.
Troubleshooting Tips - Refer to the documentation that came with your print server for printer setup instructions specific to your operating system.
I have read and reread the printer manual and nowhere does it say anything about Mac setups. I have sent two e-mails to D-link and both have been ignored. The Mac recognizes the HP printer and will print if attached to it. When I attach the printer to the print server it will work wireless when I use a Windows based laptop and I really don't want to load Windows if I can get away with it. I have a D-Link wireless router and it works perfectly with the Mac. I found a thread dated late 2007 but the instruction gif's the person attached expired so I can't see the details that made it work with the older version of OS X.
Any ideas so I don't have to purchase another printer server specifically for Mac???You need two things -
First, the HP-provided driver (on OS X) was written to only support direct USB printing, so you need a CUPS driver. Check here to find that and install it:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
(click on "printers" in the blue bar and look up your printer.)
Next, you need to read your print server manual and figure out what comm protocols are supported and then enter the right info into the Add printer dialog. For example, the print server's queue name (also called port name) is a required entry (not default) for the IP > LPD and IPP protocols. If the print server supports TCP/IP raw or port 9100 or socket printing, those terms are all equal to the IP > HP Jetdirect protocol on OS X. That protocol doesn't need a queue name, so it's usually easier for Mac users. I think L1 or P1 are typical queue names on Linksys servers.
If you need more help, I need to know the print server model #. -
Hi.
I am in trouble setting up a basic mail server. I just spent the last 10 or so hours, in one more try to set it, and yet no results.
Please, give some help as i am becoming sort of desperated with it
This time, i followed this guide since the beginning.
What I've done:
- Created a user vmail, with home directory set on /var/mail/vmail/
- Had a LAMP server already working.
- Created two databases: postfix_db and roundcube_db, owned by postfix_user and roundcube_user respectively.
- Since it is for personal use and i don't use "old/odd clients like Outlook" i skipped smtps. And made the following files:

- From what i can see, postfixadmin used and populated its database, but not roundcube.
- I can open postfixadmin and log in with no apparent errors (not that i know what to do with it instead of roundcube, but at least works...)
- Whenever i open roundcube it begins to output errors everywhere about db connection (I was only able after changing its .htaccess to Allow from all, is it a bad idea?)
DB Error in /usr/share/webapps/roundcubemail/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_db.php (416): [1146] Table 'roundcube_db.session' doesn't exist (SQL Query: SELECT vars, ip, changed FROM session WHERE sess_id = 'pq5ofv7ja0gh2sunsg38jmd3g1')

Thats all i know. Whats wrong? (i already tried to set db logins with no pw at all, but still with the same problems)
How far am i to be able to send/receive one email? Please, tell me i am close...
Mail servers could be so much more linear to set up
Thanks for your help. Time to get some sleep!The roundcube db schema needs to setup manually. See /usr/share/webapps/roundcube/INSTALL
Also, from your /etc/webapps/postfixadmin/config.inc.php:
$CONF['domain_path'] = 'NO';
$CONF['domain_in_mailbox'] = 'YES';
$CONF['maildir_name_hook'] = 'NO';
..which results in /var/mail/vmail/[email protected]
From your dovecot.conf
mail_home = /var/mail/vmail/%d/%u
...which results in /var/mail/vmail/domain.com/user
That doesn't fit together. -
So after purchasing my new Xserve which i will be using as my company's primary mail server.
i own a domain hosted by my ISP, and I have a static IP. I have also purchased a sonicwall pro 2040 firewall and have opened up the ports needed for the mail service smtp, pop, imap and web for webmail.
I have already configured the MX and A settings with my ISP DNS server.
i will be using an example.com as my domain.
My current settings are,
Computer Name : mail.example.com
In Computer Services under Mail i have the following things checked off.
General (the list below i have checked off)
-> Enable Pop
-> Enable SMTP
-> Allow incoming mail
domain :example.com
hostname : mail.example.com
Relay (the list below i have checked off)
-> Accept SMTP relays only from these hosts and networks
127.0.0.1/32
my static ip
my mail server local lan address
-> Use these junk mail rejection servers
zen.spamhaus.org
Filters (the list below i have checked off)
-> Scan email for Junk @ 5 junk score
-> Scan email for virus and delete
-> update the junk mail and virus 1 time a day
Quotas
-> Refuse incoming mail larger the 25MB
Advanced
Not sure what i should do here, my staff will be accessing email from all over north america and ideas i have played around a bit but nothing makes me able to set a mail client up to my server.
Hosting -> local host and my domain.
In my log files for mail access its also says empty option value on line 15 of the config file.
Anyone have any ideas.You might also want to harden OSX.4 Tiger server against spam. I wrote an article which details implementing greylisting, blackholes, backscatter filtering, checking the sending mail server, recipient and email content. This supplements the anti-virus and spam checks already included in OSX Server to significantly reduce spam received and load on the mail server.

Any solution plzzzz, its urgent -
DNS, Certificates, and Active Directory - School Setup Issues
Our school has been piloting a small iPad depolyment. I have been struggling with getting Profile Manager to work correctly since August of last year. Here's the setup:
1. Active Directory DNS/DHCP server (set as "school.local"--yes, I know .local is bad form, but it was set before I got here). I have changed the "Digest" to "Basic" setting
2. Mac Mini server that has its own external IP and hostname ("mac.school.org") and is also bound to the AD server for user authentication for services (Profile Manager, WebDAV, wiki, etc.). I have a self-signed SSL certificate installed under the name "mac.school.org"
3. About 90 iPads, and a handfull of Mac desktops
In a perfect world, users would be able to login (with their AD credentials) to the Profile Manager self-service portal using the external hostname of the mac server ("mac.school.org/mydevices"), install the Trust Profile, and enroll the device (iPad, Mac, etc).
However, this is not the case. The setup seems to work for awhile; quite perfectly in fact. But then for reasons unknown to me, everything just "breaks" and Profile Manager ceases to work like it should. Here are some of issues I am seeing:
a.) DNS service on the Mac server turns itself ON randomly. DNS should NOT be running this server, correct? All DNS lookups internally are done by the AD server. I've used changeip and everything matches (both say "mac.school.org")
b.) Whenever we use VPN, and at other seemingly random times, the server's hostname changes from "mac.school.org" to "mac.school.local" I would make the server external only, but it needs to have an internal IP to talk to the AD server.
c.) AD binding breaks randomly and I have to rebind the server to AD
d.) When enrolling devices, Profile Manager starts rejecting certificates (not a trusted source, etc.) and I have to destroy OD and PM and start all over again.
I know this is a lot and I'm not necessarily expecting anyone to answer all of these questions. I guess I'm wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? I've looked for help with these issues all over the place, but none of the environments I read about are quite like the one I'm in.Yes, I am not giving the real domain name here.
No prob. just checking, sometimes people have weird domain names never know if they are real or they expect them to be real or they put domain names owned by someone else on their internal network eek.
Not really needed to use mac.school.org internally, that is in local LAN. The thing to understand about DNS is the scope for which a DNS zone is relevant WRT a client machine — inside LAN or on Internet, and which DNS server is authoritative for a domain. Authoritative in the sense of 'the final word'.
Go to Network Utility on your mac, type in your real domain name (whatever you are changing to school.org to hide it) what comes back. On my server I see the below (I have replaced my real, Internet legal domain, to 'example.com')
In my setup I have, on the LAN, setup the Mac server to be authoritative for domain 'example.com'. On the Internet however it is another external DNS server.
So you have set DNS forwarders on the Mac machine?
I really don't believe that the machine's hostname is changing, it is statically configured. What I believe is happening is that DNS name resolution is telling you different things at different times because you are using different DNS servers.
On mac machine terminal type $less /etc/resolv.conf and copy paste what it says. In server app Services | DNS right side does it say you have forwarders?
Still it is not good to have two DNS domains in your internal LAN, there is no need to have school.org on the mac DNS unless it is going to be fully setup to be authoritative in the internal LAN for the domain school.org. You can have school.org on the Internet (Internet scope of users point 1) and school.local on internal machine (LAN scope of users).

SQL Server 2008 Express Setup Issue SKU
Hi,
a configuration file driven setup worked on roughly 30 machines without problems.
However, on one certain machine (which is costumer owned in Saudi Arabia) the installation seems to
be blocked at an early stage. Logfiles reporting something about "SKU", but this makes not clear for me
what the problem is.
The Summary.txt is pasted, below this Details.txt is placed (the bottom part which contains the error portion).
Thanks for help in advance!
Peter

2013-11-14 19:03:12 Slp: Result error code: 7313Hi,
a configuration file driven setup worked on roughly 30 machines without problems.
However, on one certain machine (which is costumer owned in Saud Arabia) the installation seems to
be blocked at an early stage. Logfiles reporting something about "Invalid edition ... SKU", but it not clear for me
what the problem is.
The Summary.txt is shown here, below this I will paste Details.txt (the bottom part which contains the error portion).
Thanks for help in advance!

10.5.1 Server Setup - Help Make it all Work!
Hello Everyone, I currently have a new MacMini running 10.5.1 with our Calendar, Wiki and File Sharing. I have recently just returned from the Mac OS 10.5 Training Session from Chicago Columbia College and was astonished at what their demo servers did versus what mine has never done lol. We are a small tech company and there isn't much yet in the way of documentation or training or even training materials for Leopard Server. So I wanted to share some of what we learned from the training seminar and hopefully someone will know the proper answers to my questions. This is going to be a bit long winded but I think it's important to convey my questions/concerns.
1. Ok initial setup of our Leopard server requires you to input a host name and then the domain name. Well after the first install of Leopard we found as I have read amongst the posts for the past 2 hours that if you place let's say macmini in the host-name field then place domain.com in the domain field. After the server setup is complete Leopard Server wants you to chat, vpn, and browse to http://macmini.domain.com/groups as well as mail. This is all well and good if you have access to DNS like I do and can easily make changes to the MX & A records but if your a typical SMB user then you won't and this means that once your e-mail is setup and your ready to start using your server anyone you e-mail will come from [email protected] and not [email protected] which is a huge problem. So be cautious here. I was instructed by Apple after scratching their head to leave the host-name blank and only fill in the domain name here if your on let's say a T1 or other medium with a static IP pointed at your machine or router. So this is my first pet peve, there is a sloppy work around to this by telling the server to receive e-mail for domain.com as well but still whenever you send it comes from the original domain.
2. Application Setup - Single Sign-on - When I attended Leopard training this week in Chicago I was amazed at how whenever a user (demo -lab environment) logged into ichat, ical, wiki or e-mail there was simple single sign-on kerberos auth. What I mean by this is once the server is up and running and your Mac connects to the network for the first time either by manual add thru the directory application or a new Mac that finds the Leopard server automatically at first boot and you auth a user on the server to that Mac then there is just a single signon from that point on, NOT! For us our users log into their machines, (mind u they are already users on the Leopard server and can log in just fine) and they try to go to their e-mail for the first time it always fails. We then have to disable SSL over SMTP and IMAP and manually type in their passwords because the MacMail clients cannot trust the SSL cert or we simply just delete their accounts and recreate them from scratch. Same happens with iChat. By design when you auth your Mac against the server, the server auto configs the security and client apps, i.e. mail, ichat, directory, VPN, ical. But iCal has consistently failed setup across 5 server builds and 10 clients. What will happen is when you go to prefs in ichat you see your account but it can't auth you and doesn't show up in ical for your personal server calendar. If you manually remove your user account and re-add it works great. But next time you go to ichat, once again you have to recreate. And I can recreate this all day long. But at the demo it worked like magic. So that is problem number two, SSL and single sign-on does not really work and app auto-config does not work at all.
3. Apple Airport Extreme 802.11N. - As a test and per Apple's recommendation for SMB clients we picked up a new Airport. We patched it and setup user/pass info and setup DHCP on the device for so if server fails we have internet. And during server setup it logged into Airport and tried to configure settings. We were on the net and all was good after server setup. However with VPN enabled per user in Standard mode on server we have only been able to gain VPN access for clients if they are actually inside the network. I have spent about 10 hours back and forth with Apple Support trying to get VPN to work outside. The Manual setup of new Airport Port-Mapping is simple but crude. It does not seem to work. And there is a default hosts setting which should translate to an open DMZ but does not. So that is third on my list, running a MacMini with 2gig's of RAM which is within SPEC for Leopard Server and using the Apple Recommended solution of an Airport Extreme N does not work for s&*% and I would be very surprised if anyone here has gotten that to work.
4. E-Mail Services - As stated prior Leopards auto app setup utility does not work for crap unless by some magic there are other steps besides the ones outlined and printed with the purchase of server. But the main thing about mail is that we are missing the basics. I mean your going to be hard pressed to find ANY e-mail application on the market today, Notes, Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, iMail or other that does not include basic vacation/out of the office message replies. This is a huge issue for any small business or for that matter any size business that wants to automate things when they are out and I think this is one of my small peeves but certainly worth a listing here.
5. VPN - We have tried like **** to get the VPN to work thru the Airport as previously noted but we have also connected MacPro with 2 nics, one for net and one for LAN and not been able to connect to the server from outside our network. Here is my largest frustration, we currently run SBS2003 from MSFT and they run flawlessly. I have literally sat with clients in their office during a new setup for SBS and in 3-4 hours we were up and running with minimal system level changes from the guided path. And for Apple to advertise this in the manual and all online materials as being SMB friendly is a complete slap in the face. Now don't confuse my above descriptions of problems we have seen across 5 Leopard builds as being a rant because it's not but seriously I am a network engineer with 10 years in the field working with 20+ product ranges and in our office we only use Mac because of stability and uptime. But OS X 10.5 is not Small Business Friendly at all even with the half hearted attempt at the new System Admin console for SMB users. However that being said I will still push on and try to get all these little bugs worked out and what I would really like to see is some feedback on my issues and I would love to know if anyone else has had similar issues. I really had hoped that 10.5 could help my firm finally push the proper solution (Mac OS X) for our SMB clients but it just isn't there yet.
Cheers,
DMThanks for the quick read and response. Do you feel the issue might lie with the fact that it is a Mac Mini? And possibly just not powerful enough to run Leopard Server? I have to say in our trials with MacPro it was like night and day as to how they performed. And if you could elaborate on this "Many VPNs don't play well with NAT so your VPN server should have a direct connection to the public network (preferably firewalled, of course, but not NATted)." Most every SoHo and for that matter uses simple NAT translation for security even our multi thousand dollar Cisco PIX and ASA's are basic NAT devices to start with. How would you put the VPN on public net while keeping the attack surface low for the rest of the services like file, web, mail and print?
Don't get me wrong I want this to work more than you can imagine. We are so tired of supporting MSFT technologies that cost thousands a year in antivirus, antispyware, antispam and other malware protection for the enterprise. We know that Leopard has great potential but for an integrator, getting this system up and functional is not an easy task. And the worst part of it is every time we have called for support the tech always lets out a sigh when they hear we have run standard setup because they are not allowed to walk us thru the server console to make repairs. And have been told by 3 techs so far that this is a new product and the support avenues are not there for standard since it just supposed to work out of the box. But when it doesn't then ohh well. Which is sorta sad...

Hello,
I have a perplexing issue with both my own server and a client's server. In both cases I am trying to configure a Lion server as a gateway (Firewall, DNS, DHCP, NAT) and I am unable to get the services working consistently. If I am able to get my server(s) functioning as gateways I lose DHCP any time the service restarts.
I have been able to reproduce this issue on two separate networks in two different locations on two separate static IPs with both a Mac Pro and a Mac Mini.
1. I setup reverse DNS with both ISPs.
2. I began with a fresh 10.7.0 server installation from the recovery partition, the I configured my static IP address and FQDN during the Setup Assistant, rDNS checked out fine, and after the assistant was done I immediately ran updates.
3. After restarting I configured my DNS. I setup a machine address for the server and linked my FCDN to my static IP address.
4. I downloaded Server Admin Tools 10.7.2 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1457 and installed them. I ran Software Update again to make sure the system was completely up to date.
5. Using Server Admin I enabled NAT and ran the Gateway Setup Assistant.
6. After running Gateway Setup Assistant the LAN was unable to obtain IP addresses via DHCP. Devices connected to the LAN had self-assigned IP addresses.
7. I opened the Firewall for both "any" and "192.168.1.1-net" by allowing both IP address groups to allow all traffic.
Still no luck. A little Googling and I found http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3887 - "Unable to connect to the Internet after running NAT Gateway Setup Assistant".
8. I follwed the instructions in TS3887 and my LAN was still unable to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
After 3 days of trial and error I have found that my DHCP settings are being reset whenever I start/stop/start DHCP services. Whenever I restart the DHCP service I get one of the following error message sequences in /var/system.log:
Jan 25 16:19:43 server servermgrd[71]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Error:Unable to read configuration file - error 2 (No such file or directory)
Jan 25 16:19:43 server servermgrd[71]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Notice:Created default configuration file
Jan 25 16:19:43 server servermgrd[71]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Notice:Created 2 default subnet records
or
Jan 25 16:15:50 server serveradmin[4843]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Error:Unable to read configuration file - error 2 (No such file or directory)
Jan 25 16:15:50 server serveradmin[4843]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Notice:Created default configuration file
Jan 25 16:15:50 server serveradmin[4843]: servermgr_dhcp:bootp config:Notice:Created 1 default subnet records
As it turns out, something is overwriting /etc/bootpd.plist:
sh-3.2# ls -al /etc/bootpd.plist
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1536 Jan 25 16:20 /etc/bootpd.plist
sh-3.2# serveradmin stop dhcp
dhcp:state = "STOPPED"
sh-3.2# ls -al /etc/bootpd.plist
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1132 Jan 25 16:47 /etc/bootpd.plist
I have no idea why Server Manager believes that /etc/bootpd.plist does not exist but I began to notice some strang behavior while working on the problem.
- While DHCP was turned off in Server Admin devices on my LAN were often able to obtain IP addresses through BootP.
1. I could use Server Admin to start DHCP but it would fail and create two new subnets, one for my WAN and one for my LAN. Although no subnets were enabled decices on my LAN would obtain IP addresses through BootP. I could then start DHCP with none of the subnets enabled.
2. If I enabled the LAN subnet and restarted DHCP Server Admin would fail to start DHCP. I could try again and DHCP would start with no subnets enabled.
3. If I stopped DHCP the system would again reset my /etc/bootpd.plist and I woudl be left with one subnet for my LAN. This subnet was enabled by default.
4. If I stopped DHCP the system woudl once again reset my /etc/bootpd.plist and I would have one subnet for my WAN. This subnet was disabled by default.
And then this loop would continue in slightly different variations indefinately. Here is what my log looks like while this is happening:

The only times it seems that DHCP is working is when it is off... which does not make any sense.
Here are some screenshots:I don't know if it's directly related, but your setup is wrong. That could be why the config is resetting.
On your 'internal' interface you're manually setting the IP address to 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0, and that's fine, but this interface should have NO router address specified. In your case you've set the router address to the server itself, which is never going to be accurate.
Secondly, the DHCP settings don't have a router address set. This means that your DHCP server will hand out addresses to clients, but won't tell them how to get to the outside world. Hardly seems appropriate to me.
In your DHCP settings you should set the router address to the address of your NAT server (in this case 192.168.2.1).
Try those fixes and see if it makes any difference. -
Mac Mini Server setup with airport express
I have had issues trying to setting up mac mini server on my network. I wonder if my current hardware is the problem? At present I have a Thomson Router plugged into an airport express which broadcasts wifi for my house. I have been connecting to my wifi with my mac mini server. Despite running server assistant and setting up a DNS server in Mac Mini server no clients are able to connect to the DNS server (i.e. dig command works on server but not on clients). I found reference somewhere on the internet to the fact that the mac mini server must be plugged into the router via ethernet for it to be setup properly.
Could this be the cause of my problems? Is it true?Just to clarify this is an airport express and not airport extreme therefore I am reliant on a wireless connection between my mac mini server and the airport express.
The model of the Airport device here is largely irrelevant.
Currently my Thomson router serves out an address of 192.168.1.67 to airport express router.
Do you have any control over the gateway router?
The airport express is configured to share out a single IP address
Double NAT (which is what you have here) will cause you problems. Get rid of one layer of NAT.
The airport express gives out addresses in range of 10.0.1.2-10.0.1.202 with 10.0.1.1 being the address for the airport express and 10.0,1.201 being assigned via DHCP to the mac mini server (using its MAC address to reserve the address)
Within the private blocks, the IP addressing organization is your decision.
The DNS server is set on the airport express to 10.0.1.201 (i.e. my server).
OK. (I usually pick smaller numbers for more important boxes, because I tend to type addresses for those boxes more than the addresses of the boxes over in DHCP-land. But again, this is your call.)
I guess I wondered if something funky was going on with server assistant during the setup. A post I read somewhere (I've lost the link) was someone in an identical situation who had issues and said that apple had stated that he need to be directly connected to the router by ethernet cable to get things working. I wondered if this is the issue. An airport express does not have a spare ethernet port to plug into so I wonder if I need to buy a wireless router with built-in ports i.e. airport extreme (expense+) or something similar.
I'd probably switch the box to access point, but that presumes you can get (more) control over the gateway router.
I can access by Thomson router but I able unable to change the DNS servers that it provides (set by my ISP) from the GUI. I'm sure you could probably do it from the commandline but I think this is beyond me. I did wonder if that is what is causing problems
Talk with the ISP. You'd prefer to have the device switched to a bridge, if that's feasible. If not, then you're going to have to work within the confines of the particular model. -
New Mac Mini Server Network Issue
I recently purchased the new Mac Mini Server with 10.6 to use as a Content Filter/Web Server for a small private school. While trying to set it up, using the on board ethernet and a USB to Ethernet adapter, I have lost all ability to acquire an IP. IT does not matter if I use the on board ethernet, the USB adapter, or the Airport. All three return a self-assigned IP. I know this is related to the machine since I can still access the cable modem setup by typing in 192.168.100.1. And I brought it home to work on it a little more and the bonjour services are detecting the other macs on the network.
I tried trashing my network preference plist, but no change.
I am considering doing a fresh install since I think the initial setup was borked. But I thought I'd hit up the board and see if anyone else had a thought before I begin that process.
thoughts?I have setup this configuration several times with both a MacPro and the smaller mini setup. The gateway setup we are describing is about as simple as it gets (static IP, gateway running all services so 1 IP address, gateway set as 192.168.1.1 on the local net. Simple DHCP and DNS "server.local", and "server.xxx.com" external).
I would be overjoyed to find that I can configure this by setting up some simple overrides in the routing. I would point out in defense that _everything else_ works perfectly basically by default.
1) dns on server: local and external, forward and reverse from itself and the local network - check
2) services on server (all of them): from itself and the local and external networks - check
3) network access (ie NAT & Firewall) for local machines - check (web, streaming, even bittorrent)
The only issue I see is that remote clients cannot access the gateway itself properly though VPN. UPD return packets seem to be mis-routed through the physical interface rather than the virtual one.
ALL other operations (Mail, iCal, iChat, Push, Web Services, Wiki, Web Mail and iCal, NAT) work perfectly for the server, local network, and external hosts. The above problem only happens for vpn clients, and then only for connections from them to the gateway itself, and only for UDP packets.
I would really love to know how to fix it, especially if this can be explained by a needed custom rule (But I'm guessing not given the otherwise full functioning system). Are you saying that to make VPN work you need to add custom routing info that is not described in the Server docs? If so what?
Thanks,
Hunter
