Apologies if this has been asked before and is noobish, but here goes. I have a SOHO, with a server behind a router. I just set up the server with AD, DNS, and DHCP. I set up the DNS forwarders as the google DNS, and set the DNS server as 127.0.0.1 The server is now apart of the domain network and under network sharing and center it shows it is connected to the network but then not connected to the internet (viz the red x over internet connection) even though it actually is (ie I can browse to google.com). The server has a static IP address, but if I set it to dynamic it will connect to the internet. Obviously, I don't want a dynamic IP address for the server so my question is if I have a static IP for the server and when I go to turn off the router DHCP and forward DNS requests to the server am I going to lose internet connectivity, or will the server finally take over for the router? I feel like I'm missing a crucial step in the setup process, any help?

config as follows

router internal IP: 192.168.1.1

Server

IP: 192.168.1.42 (static)

SM: 255.255.255.0

DG: 192.168.1.1

DNS: 127.0.0.1

C:\Users\Administrator>nslookup
Default Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

> nslookup cbsserver.cbs.local
Server:  cbsserver.cbs.local
Address:  192.168.1.42

*** cbsserver.cbs.local can't find nslookup: Non-existent domain

  • You're trying to run nslookup in interactive mode and noninteractive mode at the same time. Run it one way or the other, but not both. Typing nslookup and then Enter puts nslookup into interactive mode so there's no need to prepend your query with the nslookup command. - support.microsoft.com/kb/200525
