IP Restrictions Greyed Out
|
|
| Mike C 2004-10-15, 9:25 pm |
| Working with someone remotely on IIS 5.0 server. Cannot get server to
connect from off the LAN. IP routing, firewall, etc etc seems right. Asked
user to check IP Restrictions to see if IIS is dropping packets on purpose.
Button to edit Restrictions is greyed out.
On related note, is there some way to get verbose logs or related traffic
info to be sure IP traffic is reaching server?
Thanks.
Mike.

| Hi Mike,
a) Is the user using a desktop operating system (eg Windows 2000
Professional)? If so, then IP address restrictions are not possible
b) Is the user having a problem connecting from the server to other
machines? Or from other machines to the server? Is it only IIS (eg
webserver) they are having problems connecting to? If so, IP traffic is not
what you should be looking at - IIS can only block at a higher level (eg on
TCP ports that IIS is listening on). You can use NetMon (comes with Windows)
or Ethereal (www.ethereal.com) to capture all traffic (you can filter for IP
traffic).
c) If you can reach other services on this server (eg ping it, or file
shares), then IP traffic/routing is probably not your problem. Check things
like IPSec policies, name resolution etc. Otherwise, can you provide the
error messages you are seeing? Thanks
Cheers
Ken
