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?
