  Hi

  I am looking for some advice please, I have just installed sbs2011 for the first time and I am running the connect to the internet wizard on the console but it fails saying your router is not configured correctly.

  Excuse my ignorance but I am new to this. 

  Firstly my router is the dhcp server I am reluctant to change this as it was supplied by our security company for our CCTV / security equipment so  it’s not effectively mine no mess with.

  The server is connected to the internet as I can browse the web fine with it, but the wizard fails

  The server IP details are

  Ip – 192.168.1.2

  Sub – 255.255.255.0

  Gw – 192.168.1.254 (router address)

  Dns – 127.0.0.1 (local host)  - IS THIS RIGHT?

  all workstations have the routers address in the DNS section

  The router dhcp range is set to start at 64 and up so there is no risk of a conflict.

  The only changes to router I have made is opening up ports 443,21,110,80,25 to ip 192.168.1.2.

  I have seen this

  technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg637864.aspx

  and it mentions that the router port should be 192.168.x.1  could this be the problem?   I am wary of changing it as it will probably mess with the security equipment.

  Or am I missing something else

  Thanks
