Re: Windows Server 2008 Setup

Hello darkblueo,

You have two different subnets configured on one NIC on the server. You have
to change it that way:

IP Address: 192.168.50.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway. 192.168.50.1
Preferred DNS Server 192.168.50.10

See the difference with 1 and 10.

or

IP Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway. 192.168.2.1
Preferred DNS Server 192.168.2.2

The router should not be used for DNS and also DHCP when a Domain is involved.
The DC is also DNS server and because Active directory relies on functional
DNS use it. Disable all that functionality on the router or if that is not
possible do not use it.

So i assume the clients also have x.x.2.x as ip addresses and the router
for DNS? Change it to meet the DC's requirements for domain access and see
here how to configure DNS for internet access:
