Hi,
I have a new 2012 server and 4 new Windows 8 Pro workstations in a new domain. Every day since we went live the network drops out locally and on the internet. I have the the following configuration:
Netgear DGN2200 ADSL router plugged into a Netgear Gigabyte switch.
The server and the 4 PC's plug into the switch.
Router: 192.168.5.1
Internet Port
MAC Address E0:46:9A:63:85:78
IP Address 149.135.2.241
Network Type PPPoA
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.255
Gateway IP Address 165.228.7.1
Domain Name Server
203.50.2.71
139.130.4.4
2012 Server:
IP: 192.168.5.10
SUB: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.5.1
DNS1: 192.168.5.1
DNS2: 192.168.5.10
I have given all the PC's static IP addresses with the following config: (with different IP's)
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.5.32(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.5.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.5.10
DNS 192.168.5.1
NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled
I ran the BPA analyzer on the server and got these results:

CC-SERVER Error This domain controller must advertise as an LDAP server for the domain Configuration
CC-SERVER Error DHCP: The server database should be functional and free of errors. Operation
When I setup the server I just did the default settings.
Do I need to add stuff to DNS
The server keeps changing from Domain to Public
I have also turned DHCP off on the server.
If I restart the router, switch, server and workstations it comes right.
If I haven't set the server correctly up can anyone give me some pointers
Thanks
Andrew
If you have only one Domain controller it should be the DNS server for the other machines and for itself.
