I am not able to ping my new windows server 2008, I have it setup in a test environment with a windows xp machine for workstation and a vista ultimate as another workstation. I can ping both machines from the server but the workstations are not able to ping the server, I have DNS and DHCP on server and disabled on router, also the server has a static ip address. Also when I try to add the workstations to the domain it gives error that the domain controller could not be contacted.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you

Are the workstations using the same gateway as the server?

You said domain, but didn't mention that you had set up AD. Did you?

Hi, I know this is very old but I am having the same problem with Windows Server 2008 R2 and wondering if you found the fix?
