Hi,
I have been asked by a family member to setup a new server running 2008 Foundation. I have never setup a server before so am going through the process with whatever information I can find on the net. I have so far installed AD, DNS and IIS but am having problems with DNS. I can ping the ip address and the server name from another PC but it won't find the domain so I can't join it. I am using my router for DHCP but have given the server a static IP. I would be greatful if anyone has any suggestions about what I have done wrong and any additional info I can give to help diagnose.
