    For example you can set them all statically like below

     

    domain controller
    address: 192.168.1.200
    default gateway: 192.168.1.254
    subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    DNS: 192.168.1.200
    DNS: 127.0.0.1

     

    workstation 1
    address: 192.168.1.201
    default gateway: 192.168.1.254
    subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    DNS: 192.168.1.200

     

    workstation 2
    address: 192.168.1.202
    default gateway: 192.168.1.254
    subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    DNS: 192.168.1.200

     

    I've no idea if the above addresses are free to use but you can check them from cmd.exe then ping them. Then do ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /registerdns and restart netlogon service or simply reboot them. For a single DC setup be patient and wait 5 to 10 minutes for active directory / dns to fully start up.
