Why can't my win8 vm connect to my domain?

Why can't my win8 vm connect to my domain?

I have another server (not domain controller that can connect)

Here is my layout

192.168.1.205 Server2008r22 exchange
192.168.1.206 Server2008r21 DC/DNS
192.168.1.200 Win 8 (trying to join to domain)

not in AD
192.168.1.210 Server2008r2-3 Exchange/Edge

I can ping from win8 to 192.168.1.206 but cannot ping my dns name, davebeiler.com not able to join it

192.168.1.200-192.168.1.254 valid ip address - all assigned via customer NAT w/ dchp turned on

I also cannot get online with my windows 8, but I can access the internet fine on my .205, .206 and .210 hosts

I also cannot connect when i turn on automatic DCHP and DNS on my windows 8

Point the Windows 8 machine's DNS settings to your DNS server.

Is your Win8 VM network settings set to bridge or NAT? Usually it defaults to NAT when creating a new VM. Set it to Bridge and you should be good to go.
