Hi. I am trying to configure DNS and DHCP for active directory on a server (MS Server 2003, standard edition) and am having a bear of a time. The server is replacing a server 2000 one that recently died. I was able to bring my active directory and group olicy settings over, but I can't get DNS and DHCP working. DHCP is not working for any client on the network. If I configure a client with a manual IP address, the gateway, and the IP addresses for the server (two network cards), I can get a connectiont hat will allow me to access the Internet and the server. It will also work for all of the active directory applications (LDAP, group policy application, remote software installs, etc). However, I am unable to join a new computer to the domain even when I type in a functional IP address.
I ran a DCDIAG test, and below are the results. Relevant info is as follows: Domain Name: mountdechantal.local. Server IP address: 192.168.1.7; 192.168.1.6. The server is the domain controller, DNS server, and DHCP server.

This issue is driving me nuts; I'm not sure where to start trying to unravel it. Thanks for any help someone can provide.
