The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to connect to the Internet when the DHCP server is shutdown

Asked by Omoseten in Wireless Local Area Network, Internet Protocols, Windows 2003 Server

I finally set up my Win 2003 server (Active Directory) and have all the workstation joined to the Domain. Now below are the steps took in achieving that.
1. I disabled the DHCP on my Linksys router and used the one on Windows 2003 server
2. Allocated static IP (192.168.1.5) to Domain server and same as DNS (192.168.1.5);
3. Used Linksys router address (192.168.1.1) as the gateway address on the server;
4. Set DHCP Scope on the Domain server to 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.225 and reserve IP range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.100
5. With these configuration and having properly setup the AD, DNS and Forwarder on the server, I was able to connect all the workstations running (both Windows XP Pro. and Vista Business Edition) to the server seamlessly; and I was able to have access to the resources on the domain server and at the same time able to access the Internet from the workstation. Of course the server too was able to connect to the Internet. However, the unexpected happened when I shutdown the server to see if I would still be able to get to the Internet on the workstations, but I could not despite the fact that I setup the alternate configuration on the workstation using IP from the reserved range (on the Server DHCP) and using the same subnet mask as well as the router's IP (192.168.1.1) as the gateway. In the preferred DNS server and the alternate DNS server I used my ISP's DNS address; and I left the preferred WINS server and alternate WINS server blank. When I check the path to the internet on Vista, it shows that the system is connected through to the Internet, I was able to also ping my ISP,s DNS addresses but unfortunately, I was unable to unable to browse the web. Can someone please tell me what I am supposed to do that I have not done? Thanks in advance.
