Has it been promoted? A domain controller should have own static ip address listed for DNS (192.168.2.100 in your example) and no others such as router or public DNS. Domain DNS is so members can find and logon to domain. Internet queries would be passed on to the 13 default root hint servers in a top level down fashion or optionally to forwarders. A single domain controller will take 5 to 10 minutes for all services to start up and become available so be patient.

Hi,Dave Patrick 

 

Thanks for the response buddy but left the server on for the whole day but still Internet is not working after assigning IP address.

 

I have no clue on how to find a static IP address as I have seen in the videos that when someone assigns a static IP address, their internet still works and I followed the steps thoroughly.

 

Please if you can or someone can shed light on exactly how to find and assign a Static IP address, it would be great.
