How do i create a server using Windows server 2000 ? I am trying to create a dedicated server for a certain website that used to run on a server before.

Wilcard DNS (similar to hosts file) in Windows without a local dedicated DNS server...? I have a local test server running Apache2 with virtual hosting setup correctly. I'd like to set up a system so that *.dev is redirected to my testing server at 192.168.0.4 I know I can do this for each individual site using the hosts file found in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ Unfortunately the Windows hosts file doesn't work with wildcards! I don't have a dedicated local DNS server, but I'd like a system that redirects *.dev to my server without the need to open and edit the Windows hosts file every time. Do you know how this can be achieved? Thanks in advance.
Where can I find information on setting up a Windows Event Log Server? Is this even possible? I would like all events to go to a server dedicated to just gathering and storing the log events. I am having some issues finding any books or links on this for Windows. Any suggestions of where to start looking would be great! Yeah I have tried Google, etc, but nothing specific to setting up a dedicated log server for Windows. (Which is why I am asking for a specific source here)
Event 4202 in Event Viewer on Windows server? In the server's event viewer (which we can only get to via Remote Desktop - the server is hosted somewhere on the other side of the country), I keep seeing events 4202 and then 4201 a few seconds later (source tcpip). This happens pretty much every day and sometimes up to 5 or 6 times per day. The site is only down for 5-30 seconds each time, so it is difficult to catch it while happening (plus, I can't since I need it to be connected via Remote Desktop). Everything I have read says this could be either a hardware or a driver issue. Unfortunately, GoDaddy has been no help since it is a dedicated server. I have been working with their advanced support team and they are saying the hardware is fine (because they tested it in a 10 minute window in which this didn't happen). They will not monitor it over the course of a few days. How do I know if it is the network card failing vs bad equipment? How can I prove it is the equipment so I can go back to GoDaddy with a solid argument? Event 4202 (8/27/07 8:14:30 am): The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\TCPIP_{3CDCEEFE-C379-4C88-AF9D-E1BE872DB9D4} was disconnected from the network, and the adapter's network configuration has been released. If the network adapter was not disconnected, this may indicate that it has malfunctioned. Please contact your vendor for updated drivers. Event 4201 (8/27/07 8:14:50 am): The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\TCPIP_{3CDCEEFE-C379-4C88-AF9D-E1BE872DB9D4} was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation over the network adapter.
Counter-strike Source - Dedicated server questions? Hi I have just created a Source Dedicated Server (downloaded from steam) And i finally got it running. And it is my first server so I have a couple of questions 1. Im not sure if I am admin. so how can I check it ? (I followed i guide on youtube, but I'm not sure if it worked) 2. Then when I start the server i have type a couple of commands into the console, Is there a way so it does it automatically?(commands like "sv_lan 0" - "es_load msrpg" and "sv_airaccelerate 150") 3. I also added a rpg mod, but how do I get credits (easy) And give credits to my friends. 4. How do I get the console in-game to work.

My Counter-Strike Source Dedicated Server doesn't work online, why not? I have downloaded all the necessary programs needed to run a source dedicated server, including HldsUpdateTool and srcds. I have also created Batch(.bat) files to run my server. I have port forwarded the following ports: 1200 to 1200, 27000 to 27015, and 27020 to 27039. The protocol for the three ports is set to "both." My IP for these ports ends with 3 digits, (just wondering if this is correct). I have disabled my windows firewall and i have allowed scrcds with the port 27015 to go through my firewall manually. I am running the operating system windows vista. My server shows up only as a LAN server which I can only see and join. Myserver does not show up on the counter-strike source internet servers tab but only under the LAN tab. I am wondering is there anyway to get my server online, in other words allow other people to join it? Please help. Yes, I have sv_lan 0 in my server configuration.

Dedicated Game Server Operating System? I am looking at building a server for my clan. The part that is really causing me trouble is the operating system. When I look at Microsoft Windows Server Standard 2003 R2 with SP2 the price varies greatly with the CALs. Should I get a different version or get a different operating system? I do plan on running several different games off that one machine (Source games). I don't want Linux because I need one (or more) Garry's Mod servers. Garry has never released windows binaries so I need to run through Wine. The added virtualization just takes up more processor power.

Can Windows XP host an FTP server? I have a computer that I would like to use as a dedicated FTP server. It would just be for storing files, it wouldn't run anything.

Let's say I lease a dedicated server from some hosting company.? I use a software app like Virtuozzo or VMWare to create 4 Virtual Machines inside the server. I now have 4 virtual machines in the server, each with its own memory, OS, Windows. Would I be able to log into one of the VMs using remote software, and then - from that machine, browse the internet, go to other websites, download software, and basically do anything that I could do on a regular PC? Part of my trouble in understanding my own question, is that the leased dedicated server would probably not have a monitor attached to it, and I am used to using remote software that lets you see what is happening on the desktop of the computer being accessed. I am trying to figure out what I would see from my computer if I was connecting to one that did not have a monitor. Would I still be able to use my local mouse and keyboard in the environment of the remote server, and would I be able to do what ever I want to accomplish on the VM, despite it's status as a webhost server?

Am I able to set up a Microsoft DNS server without AD ? If yes, how ? I have an organization with approximately 1000 users of whom 90% of them are remote users. These users will use VPN to access a web-based application in the organization's network. I want to set up a dedicated DNS server so that remote users accessing the network can be resolved by their hostnames. The thing is there are about 1000 remote users and 100 concurrent users at any time. Am I able to set up a DNS server (using Microsoft Windows Server 2003) without setting up an Active Directory ? Can DNS run without AD ?
Question regarding hosting your own web server? Hi I just finished 2 websites right now, and I was thinking of hosting my own web and database servers. I have an extra computer at home, which will serve as the dedicated server, and will run windows server 2003. I have the business plan with my isp, so i am allowed to host servers, but my upload speed is only 800kbps With that connection speed, suppose 10 users are downloading a 800kb page and executing 3 select mysql queries all at the same time, how long will it take for the page to be rendered? Is there a mathematical formula that shows this? What is the maximum number of users that you guys think could be browsing my website at the same time? Is there any books you guys could recommend me viewing before launching the server? Thanks! i.e I have 2gb ram, and 2.4ghz processor

How to setup my own DNS server? I am a newbie in DNS server setup. I have registered more than 100 domain names and now I want to put all of them live. I want to do the DNS hosting by myself rather than using commercial DNS servicem, saying I would like to have DNS servers as: dns1.mydomain.com dns2.mydomain.com Currently "mydomain.com" zone file is hosted in the colocation center's DNS server. I have one dedicated Windows 2000 server with many IPs. I want to use this server as dns1, and dns2 with different IP. This server has been setup as a DNS server. The questions are: 1. how can I setup the dns1.mydomain.com as a reconginzed DNS server? Do I need to register dns1,2.mydomain.com with some agents? if so, where? 2. where I should setup the zone file for dns1.mydomain.com and dns2.mydomain.com--my colocation center DNS server or my own DNS server? 3. After I setup zonefiles for my 100+ domain names and change their name servers in godaddy.com to dns1.mydomain.com, dns2.mydomain.com, I won't have any problem on that. Is it right? Any suggestion and instruction are appreciated! Madhu.

Windows 2003 SMTP server help!? Well I am having a issue with virtual SMTP servers. I am trying to make it so each domain on my windows 2003 box (Virtual dedicated) has its own IP address for sending mail. I setup a virtual SMTP server for each IP and domain but when I send mail through that IP/Domain it will use the servers default IP address to relay the mail out. Do you have any idea how to fix this so each virtual SMTP is sending with its own IP address? Or do you know of a SMTP server I can istall that will let me configure it this way? I have a bunch of domains hosted on a windows box and some clients reqire a dedicatged IP with rDNS for sending emails.
Internet Server Help (Urgent!)? OK Here i go. I'm running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, I am trying to run a Ventrilo Server and a Half-Life Dedicated Server on it. I run them both. Ventrilo says everything is working, The IPs are correct on ventrilo, as displayed, But no one on the internet can seem to connect (not even anyone on LAN, Only the server PC can connect!). This is the same for the Half-Life Dedicated Server. It says "Connection Success", But it still doesn't show up on LAN or Internet. I have no firewall, or antivirus. I tried it on a differant operating system (XP Pro) and it still didn't work. I swapped network cards, and that didn't work, All needed ports are open, On my normal PC (The one i'm on now) i play games on, the servers work fine, i just wanted another PC for making 24/7 servers on. Everything should work fine, But i don't know the problem. I hope you can help. Thank you SO much for reading. @biggieprice Like i said.. Everything was working on my old machine (The one im typing on), It's just not working on my new server machine, Tried reinstalling and everything, But still didn't work.

developing a web page and application server..? I need the same application on a Web server to handle both handling web page get or post requests ( securely) as well as talk to a remote application using a listening TCP or UDP socket. For example, a web page action may prompt fetch of data from the socket connection. Another web page action may trigger sending a packet on the socket connection. The program will need to authenticate the remote application connecting on the socket and handle updates to a database based on that and web page activity as well. What is the best way to go about this? I am limited to Windows but will have a dedicated server for this activity. This will be development not demo so reliability and redundancy not too important now. Thanks. I see you can do both, but can I just have a constantly running looping application in PHP handling both rather than through .php files initiating the application only on browsing activity? My feet aren't wet yet as you can see. I just want to confirm before I get in.

Network of Dedicated Servers? I am looking for a number of servers (say 40 dedicated machines) each with their own IP, not in the same IP address range, spread around the world. It can be Linux of windows PCs. Does anyone know of a good solution or service for this? I have looked into EC2 from Amazon but they do not have the support I need. Ideas? Note: I am not looking for caching services or exclusively web hosting. The machines should have different external IPs, possibly different locations and also be able to run desktop windows applications. The servers will be working independently. They will also be running a .NET desktop application and another 3rd party windows application and need a connection to the internet. Linux or Mono wont work. Linux would work if the version support vmware.
I am trying to setup my web server. I am using IIS for Windows Sever 2003.? So I have my website setup on my server as of now, and I have checked my public IP address and entered that into the website properties in IIS. My network consists of a cable router from the ISP connected to a Linksys private router. The Linksys router is then hooked up to the server. The files for the website are on the server already, and they are pointed to the right file. When I try to view the website in a browser, I get prompted to enter the login information to the Linksys router. When I do this, I then get an error page saying that my website is not available or something of the sort. I am soon getting a dedicated T1 with a router specifically for this. How come the website will not come up? Even if it did come up, how would I make sure the website users would not have to enter the login information? Would I have to structure the physical network differently? I am assuming I want the server placed in between the pop router and the the private network router correct?
Please Help Me Fix My Server!!!? How can I get the most efficiency out of my Network Server We have a server with two large Databases on it. We have 16 workstations tapping into the server for both Database files and user documents and folders. There are two HD’s, 160gig mirrored, and 2 gigs of RAM (We run Windows Server 2003). I am thinking of reformatting the drives to partition them, dedicating two partitions for the databases (one each), another partition for the servers system files, and the final for the network users files (several gigs alone). Any ideas on if this is the right answer? Am I going in the right direction with my ideas for better speed and efficiency?
Server characteristics for online shop? Hello everybody, If you know, could you tell me which are the most suitable characteristics, when buying windows hosting, for a bookstore shop (selling books, cds, dvds, games, etc), that will use ASP and MS SQL? I'm wondering about disk space, bandwidth, shared hosting, VPS, dedicated server, etc, among other things. I've seen many solutions but would not wish to follow one which is too expensive for the shop needs. The shop will do its business in a country of no more that 15 million people by a rather small company. Thanks in advance.

What do I need to run DVDs over a network? I am considering a dedicated back-up server to protect data for my small business, but I would like to have several DVDs in the server and want to be able to retrieve information off those DVDs. It would also be convenient to my business to have some programs on one central machine that several could run on their local machines so as to keep one central database. I have an old computer that I am considering turning into a server. Do I need server software to do these things, or will Windows XP work fine? If I need special software for the server, what should I use?
Linux or Windows? Well i have windows vista atm... (Dont tell me XP is waay... better lol) And i saw that some of my dedicated CSS servers were running on linux fedora. But i was wondering because i used ubuntu one time and i put in a CD and it didnt reconise the file type. But is fedora better and will it go faster than WIndows vista? Also will i still be able to download stuff like steam and counter strike source, world of warcraft and what not? If fedoria sucks what other linux should i get if i need to get one? :D Also what about photoshop?
How do I Secure and Network 10 Public Computers on Windows XP? Here's the setting: - 10 Public Computers in a library running Windows XP Pro. - There are no central servers or central file storage. - 1 Local Printer. What we want to do: - Secure Public Accounts on each machine, have a default username/password guests can use. - Share the one printer so that all computers may print. Security for Public Accounts: - Cannot run .exe - Cannot run any harmful scripts - Cannot disable anti-virus/anti-spyware - Cannot modify any configuration settings - Have the right to use all applications (ie, office) but without their settings saved. - Dedicate a folder that clears itself at logoff. - Anything I might have missed. Optional: - Be able to perform administrative duties on all 10 computers from one of them (if possible) Right now I was able to network them fairly easily but one computer wouldn't access the printer for some reason, the biggest issue is the public account one. Any part of the solution is appreciated! Thanks! I'm pretty familiar with basic security control, would there be a good tool to redefine the permissions on guest or some user account to make sure it's "locked" down? Some tool that would allow me to easily fine tune the permissions. I am already familiar with basic security as I am studying MIS right now. But the courses never really gets into the practical side for a small network. They would explain how to set ActiveDirectory and a central server but forgets the basic stuff. Thanks!
