Domain Users Not Getting Internet

[raytawil]

In my company to get internet you have to assign these Ips:

Ip = Any Ip in range of 169.254.59.xxx to 169.254.59.200

default gateway = 169.254.59.246

DNS = 169.254.59.246

 

The problem is that i have a server with Ip 169.254.59.1 where the domain & the Dns & dhcp is located:

 

the dhcp from that server gives ips as following:

Ip = Any Ip in range of 169.254.59.xxx to 169.254.59.200

default gateway = 169.254.59.1

DNS = 127.0.0.1

 

My windows server version is: windows server 2008 standard R2

I get the internet from a dsl modem that is branched to a router then to the server.

 

if my structure is so complicated is there a way i can distribute internet from the server directly instead of setting ip's for the users so they can get internet?

 

Please advise any help is appreciated!

 

Best regards.

Your DHCP server should not be giving out 127.0.0.1 as the DNS server. DHCP should be giving 169.254.59.1 as the DNS server. If clients get 127.0.0.1 as the DNS server, they won't be able to resolve names to ip addresses. The gateway should be 169.254.59.246. If you have your server and the router in the same subnet, the gateway MUST be the device that connects to the outside networks -- in this case, your router.

 

If you want everything to go through the server, then you are going to need 2 NICs in the server -- one connected to the router and one connected to the rest of the network. Then you'll have to set up RRAS to do the routing for that.
