I am attempting to set up a small domain in my house and am having some problems. Here is my scenario:
*Outside world hits cable modem
*Cable modem hits 4 port router
*4 port router has multiple devices hanging off of it, including new domain controller and a test box that I have joined to the new domain.
*Everything seems to be working alright except for the fact that I cannot hit the 'net on either box. I can ping the inside of the router and all other machines just fine but can't get out. I've screwed up something involving a gateway setting or something, I suppose.
*Is this even a wise endeavor if I do not have a static IP from my ISP?

What machine is doing NAT for you? Do you have one of these machines with 2
network cards and Internet connection sharing or something like that? Having
a dynamic IP should not be a problem getting to the Internet. You would only
have issues trying to access your network from outside.

Scott,
My router is taking care of NAT. It's just your typical 4 port Netgear router.I disabled DHCP on the it (had it handing out addresses prior to this little endeavor) and set up DHCP and DNS on the DC. Do I need to create a record in DNS that will point to the router?

Found that if I delete the "." entry from DNS that the DC can reach the internet but still can't get the other machine (which obtains all of it's network connection info from the DC) past the router.
