Budious 0 Posted July 25, 2003 Howdy fellas, noob needs some help with a home domain setup. Im currently taking Implementing Windows 2000 Server class and have been messing around with setting up a domain server using Windows 2003 Server Evaluation kit and XP SP1 as my domain client. Question is when Im using DHCP to assign automatic IP's to my XP machine, it cannot access the internet. The ipconfig of the XP client points to my 2003 server, and the 2003 server which was configured to access the ISP DNS before I setup AD, now points back to its own IP for DNS configuration after AD configuration. The 2003 Server can still access the internet. My Windows 2000 book/lab manual doesn't go into much detail in how to forward DNS queries to my ISP's DNS servers from the clients, and the instructions for 2000 server are a bit different (Wizard setup options have changed). EDIT: Determined DNS lookup is not the problem, the DHCP server is not assigning the default gateway 192.168.10.1 to the client. When I specify the IP manually and gateway, and use the 2003 Server IP for the DNS the client is able to load web pages fine. So how do I get DHCP to issue a default gateway? Nevermind... fixed it myself, option 003 Router needed to be checked in DHCP mmc, now it all works! Moderator may delete this post. Share this post Link to post
jmmijo 1 Posted July 26, 2003 I think this is the best thing, having a lab to work on and test things like this out yourself and posting your findings to the rest of us I too am glad when somebody is able to figure this out for themselves, good job there Budious Share this post Link to post
