I am running a dell server (os win2k3) behind
a siemans speedstream dsl router.The server is configured as DHCP,DNS,and Domain controller. DHCP has been disabled on the lan side of the router. the server is assigned a static IP the client is able to
pick up a lease from the server and I am able to ping the server, the router and the client,. The server in plugged into the lan at port 1 the client is plugged into the lan at port 2. The server has internet,the client
does not. when I tried to join the clien to
the domain I kept getting "domain controller
cannot be located" any help or advise would
be appreciated.

sounds like dns issue. what do you get if using nslookup? also posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.
