Advice on setting up Server 03 network

This is my first time trying this in VMWare so I'm just learning as I go. I have my DC set up and I also have that same VM set up as my DHCP server. Should I set up another VM as a DNS server as well? Or can I just have my DC set up as my DNS too?

Your DC should already be set up as a DNS server during the dcpromo as Active Directory will not work without a functional DNS server.

I can't seem to get DNS set up. It asks me to insert my Server 2K3 CD and I'm not sure which directory onn the CD I'm supposed to copy the files from. I'm using the trial version that came with my MS Press books. -

That's what it defaults to,\i386. I press OK but it keeps popping up.

Manually browse for the location and go into the i386 folder. The correct file should be obvious. -

Question....why is it that I can ping my DC from any client machine but I can't ping a client from my DC? -

Check the firewalls on the client machines, they're most likely interfering.Jumping on the IT blogging band wagon -- http://www.jefferyland.com/ -

Ahh, yes. That should have been obvious.
Made an exception for echo requests. Now it's working. -
