So i've had server 2012 on my machine for years, i got it back when Microsoft Imagine was Dreamspark. Well, i had downloaded R2 from them and finally got around to doing an in-place upgrade, because im too poor to upgrade my server every time i upgrade windows.
After doing so, everything seemed to work fine, except my internet... I have two NIC's. One is labeled LAN and is configured as 192.168.16.2
The second NIC is labeled WAN and is the internet connection. Its a static IP on a fiber connection so there's no model or anything, just plugs into an ethernet wall port, all the configuration is done on the PC.
So in the WAN adapter, i've configured the static IP details, and instead of using the ISP DNS servers i put in 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Over on the LAN adapter, i put in 192.168.16.2 as the IP, 255.255.255.0 as the subnet, and 192.168.16.2 as the DNS, expecting that anyone on the network connecting will be using that as the DNS server and will utilize the DNS server i have installed. This has worked for years, from server 2003 through 2012.
So without changing anything, i noticed my DNS server was getting error 4000, 4007, and 4015. But everything seemed fine through the rest of the log but i went ahead with the only resolution i could find in 2 hours which was to run the netdom resetpwd command to reset the domain admin password i used, this didnt fix the issue.
So I kept looking, thinking that this was probably a routing and remote access issue, so i ran that and set it up as a NAT... again, and again, and again, and again, as if something would magically change after the first time, but it never did... So i tried other variations of it and it never worked. I removed DNS and reinstalled it which ended up bringing back everything i had previously, because i dont know how to delete it.
Nothing has worked. I have no internet on the server, no internet on the other machines. However, other devices on the network are connecting and getting an IP address via DHCP, so i know the LAN is working, but its as though the server is refusing to route internet traffic to and from the WAN adapter? I even reinstalled the drivers for it, and i cant get it to work!
I also tried configuring NPS and NAP, those didnt work, so i removed them...
How can i get this to work?
