Windows 2012 Essentials Server can't connect to the internet

Windows 2012 Essentials server is not allowing internet browsing. I do get DNS info from NSLookUp. I have turned off IE protection and installed an alternate browser. I've even turned off the firewall. What steps can I take to allow browsing on the server?

rharland2009

Are there other computers on your network? If so, can the other computers browse the Internet?

Are you behind a hardware firewall?

Can you successfully perform a traceroute to Internet destinations, such as 8.8.8.8?

Yes, 3 Windows 7 Pro systems and all can get to the internet.

It's Frontier router. Nothing special.

Not sure. I am getting DNS information. Your point is well taken though. I'll check on that.

rharland2009

If you're getting DNS - and the DNS is locally sourced (on your LAN) - then that doesn't necessarily signify a lot.
Does this new server have the same IP as another server that was in place at one time?

Tracert doesn't work.

The DNS is store on the local network on the router.

There was no other server being replaced.

DNS is setup on the NIC as the local router and Comcast's main DNS server (75.75.75.75)

Anyone have an update for me?

Paste the following info:

Output from ipconfig /all

A tracert to an IP (such as 8.8.8.8) and a FQDN (such as www.google.com).

That worked. Why would the different IP make a difference?

I re-IPed the network there. Set up ranges for static and dynamic IPs. It is possible that another tech that I have went out and over wrote it. I will check and thanks for your help!

No problem - glad you got it sorted!
