Unable to login into Windows 2003 Domain.

Okason

Happy New Year all, I recently installed the Eval copy of Win 2003 Server and set it up as DC and DNS but not the DHCP.
I succesfully joined an XP Pro machine to this domain that I called Okasonconcerns.
The Server name is hqokcsvr001
The Workstation name is hqokcwks001
Both are connected to a D link 4 port router, that has a DHCP capability, with a range of 192.168.0.100-200. I gave a static IP address of .254 to the server to avoid conflict.

However when I try to log into the domain through the Workstation it said that the domain is not available and I know for sure that is online and both can ping each other.Below is the TCP/IP configuration of both machines, Any thought/ suggestions to why I am having this problem is greatly appreciated.

Your client is using your ISP DNS. Have your DLINK router assign the DC as DNS for the client, and set up your DNS on the server as a forwarder to your ISP.
