DNS server is not working correctly

As of right now I have a router which is the default gateway.
I have My server 2012 R2 essentials server as the DC and DNS server.

My gateway is 0.1 and my server is 0.2 for the last 2 IP fields.

I put in the static network settings for my server

But the static DNS settings I put the server IP. For some reason the server has no internet access.
If I put the Router IP as the DNS it works.

DNS is not setup on the router.

Is there any troubleshooting steps I can take to find out what the issue is with DNS

Did anything change in the new server 2012 from the previous versions?

The two successful ping results indicate that the computer IS getting to the internet and that it can resolve "google.com" to an IP address.

The nslookup results indicate that DNS is working properly for google.com.  It would be helpful if you'd try it again but once you are within nslookup (indicated by the ">" prompt), just type google.com.

The nslookup indicates an odd IPv6 address.  Did you manually set that one?

What have you observed to indicate that you don't have internet access?
in order to get internet access on the server I had to manually put in a DNS forwarder in DNS settings to the IP of the router.

the IPV6 address is a loopback address.

If I go to IPv6 properties there is a static IP there ::1. The server must have put that there as Default.
