Problems Setting up DHCP

[dignst01]

I have a strange situation where I am trying to set up a domain on a shared network. I work at a school that shares its campus with another school and with that sharing we share one connection to the WAN. We have been given the 192.168.3.xxx section of IP addresses with a default gateway 192.168.3.1 to get to the rest of the network and out into rest of the internet. Our school has a machine running Windows Server 2008 that we want to act as the DHCP server.

 

I have had success setting up the DHCP and client computers are able to connect to the server, receive and an address but they are not able to connect to the internet. Using a static IP address and the server as the DNS works but if the settings are assigned through DHCP, the connection does not work.

 

From the server, I am able to ping both internal and external IP addresses. From the clients, I am able to ping internal IP addresses but not external.

 

I am very new to networking but feel I have a fairly good basic knowledge of the concepts.

 

Here are the ipconfig/all read outs from both the server and a client computer:

hi,

 

check the scope options to ensure that the correct DNS servers are being assigned by DHCP, also, is the DNS server running as a cache only DNS server? or have you forward/reverse lookup zones configured?

 

also you can use DNS forwarding, forward DNS requests to your ISP.

 

thanks!
