Server 2008 reachs the internet only when using router’s DHCP

by pgodfrin . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

Greetings,
I’ve a fresh Server 2008 install, with some basic bells and whistles, AD DS, DNS, File Services, NAP to name a few.

Hardcoded a static IP, default gateway pointing to the Cisco 2960 switch. The switch has a default-dateway defined as the router – all in the same subnet 172.16.4

Each component talks to each other – But attempting an ip in the internet beyond the router, the ping times out. Using a browser is no better – www.yahoo.com is not found.

Conversely if I assign the server’s IP address via the router’s DHCP then all is well – the internet abounds!

Any thoughts?
