Possibly a DNS issue. Do you use your DC for DNS and does it think it is a Root DNS Server?

[Legolash2o]

try this on TCP/IP configuration

IP: THe computers IP

Subnet: the subnet you want

Gateway: Router/Comp with Internet

DNS1: Server address

DND2: Router/Comp with internet

Are you using your router for DHCP, or the server? If it is the latter, make sure that (as stated above) that the DNS settings are correct.

For a smaller network, especially if you're using an commecial internet connection with single public IP and a router using NAT, I would suggest allowing the router to perform the DHCP role.

Actually, I'd recommend the exact opposite. Some routers, especially cheaper ones for small networks, don't allow configuration of the DHCP server other than specifying the IP range.

True, I should have elaborated...

If your not running your own DNS, WINS, etc., it may be best to use the automatic configuration the router provides--if you want full control of these settings, running DHCP from the server would be best.

If your not running your own DNS, WINS

If you're running an Active Directory domain you have to be running your own DNS...no way around it.

You should, at least for now, be running WINS as well for older apps. It's not strictly a requirement like DNS is though.
