We just replaced our DC with a new box running W2k8 R2 and now the client machines connect to the internet extremely slow...to the point where requests occasionally time out or pages half load, etc.<br />
<br />
The server (x.x.115.2) is configured as the DHCP, DNS, and WINS. &nbsp;The server's gateway is set to 115.1 (the ISP router).<br />
<br />
Client machines have a 115.x address, 115.1 as the gateway, and 115.2 as the DNS and WINS.<br />
<br />
Internal Hostnames and NetBios resolve quickly.<br />
<br />
However when we make a request to the outside it's super slow but eventually works as I said.<br />
<br />
I feel like I am missing something in Server's DNS settings but I don't know what, shouldn't there be a forward to the gateway or to the ISP DNS?

Windows server 2008 slow internet (DNS issue?)

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
