I have a server that is running as the DHCP and DNS, I can access the internet on this machine just fine. But when I get a DHCP address from the server with a IP address, Gateway and the local DNS (forwarding to remote dns enabled) I cannot resolve addresses or PING outside of the network. I was able to change the DHCP to hand out the remote DNS addresses and it works fine now. How can I use the local DNS address just like the server does on client PC's.

Thanks

Common DNS settings mistakes

1.The domain controller is not pointing to itself for DNS resolution on all network interfaces. Especially, when you have multihomed server, the WAN connection may be assign 127.0.0.1 as DNS ip.
2. The "." zone exists under forward lookup zones in DNS.
3. The clients on LAN do not point the DNS to internal DNS server.
