Can't access internet on Domain Controller

I posted the problem some days ago, but I keep running around in circles -
so I am going to try and post my problem once again with as much details as
I can provide.

On the physical level my network setup is as follows: Cable Modem ->
Wireless Router -> Linksys Router (acting as a Switch). There are a bunch of
laptops connected to the Wireless Router and two desktops are connected to
the Linksys Router.

The wireless router has ip address 192.168.2.1, the linksys router has local
ip 192.168.2.60, the laptops have ips 192.168.2.22, 192.168.2.32,
192.168.2.42, etc. and the two desktops have ip addresses 192.168.2.100 and
192.168.2.101. Both routers have DHCP disabled.

Other than this, the two desktops are connected via a crossover cable using
2nd NICs. One of these computers is a Domain Controller and has IP
192.168.1.50 and it has its DHCP enabled and provides the other desktop's
2nd NIC an ip address of 192.168.1.60. The two computers talk fine, no
issue.

I want to internet enable both the desktops. However, the problem is that
the domain controller cannot access internet. It can ping the other
computers as well as both the routers. But it can not access the internet.
The other desktop on the other hand CAN access the internet. So I am
guessing that this is not a networking issue really, but possibly some
settings that are required on the Domain Controller. What exactly I need to
do is beyond me. I read an earlier post on this newsgroup and trying setting
forwarder on the DC to point to my ISP's DNS, but that didn't help.

BTW, when I try pinging www.yahoo.com on comand line, it says: unknown host
www.yahoo.com.

I really need to get this working today so please help.

Thanks.
 
On the domain controller I get:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

I can ping it from the other computers though!!!
 
From a command prompt;
ipconfig /all

on both desktops and paste the result in a reply.

I have changed the domain name in notepad, everything else is exactly as it
appears on the screen.

(I don't think my last post was successful. I apologize if this ends in
double post).

I have changed the domain name to foo.com, everything else is exactly as it
appears on the screen.

The router should be a DHCP server and the only DHCP server on the network.
The ISP's DNS server IP addresses should be in the router and the pc's
should be getting them from the router which won't happen the way you have
things. Since the domain controller's IP will be static set it to an IP
outside of the DHCP scope defined in the router, then manually set the DNS
server IP addresses on the domain controller to that of the ISP. You won't
need the second NIC's so you can disable them.

On your domain controller delete the default gateway entry for 192.168.1.50. A W2K
computer can use only one default gateway at a time. Also delete the entry for the
dns server of 24.153.22.195 though you can use that as a forwarder for your W2K dns.
See the link below on W2K dns and how to configure it for internet access. All the
domain computers must point ONLY to the domain controller as their preferred dns
server in tcp/ip properties and it is a bad idea to have more than one nic on a
domain controller. --- Steve
