Ok so today I decided to setup a LAN segment w/ NAT using the team option in VMware. I created two virtual Windows 2K3 servers and joined them to the same team. The first server I created is a DC. The other is a member server. The DC is hosting the domain1.local domain. I joined the member server to that domain. I then rebooted the member and logged into domain1. So far so good.
After that I tried to ping the member server from the DC and vice-versa. The ping succeeded and the name was resolved. I then decided to disable Netbios to make sure DNS is actually resolving the names to IPs. The ping then failed.
So then I decided to run IP config /all on both and here is what it shows:
DC:
connection-specific DNS Suffix: localdomain

I am curious where the DHCP, Default Gateway, and DNS IP addresses are coming from? I was thinking that the DC would be the DHCP/DNS server. After all when I ran DCPROMO I selected the option to setup DC as the primary DNS server for the domain1.local domain. Any ideas on how I can get DC to work as a DHCP/DNS server? I should also mention that I want it to work without an actual physical connection to the Internet. THANKS.
