Thats not what I asked. I asked if you were getting DNS address' from your DHCP server? You don't need them to have a functioning LAN network, just need them to have internet. I realize you are still getting an IP from DHCP, I need to know if your getting DNS address' as well.

What router are you using? Is your internet plugged directly into it? If so, through a WAN port, or just a regular LAN?

I'm getting the router information to answer your question. I did the following test, used DHCP, with a a static DNS and gateway....no internet......checked the IP assigned by DHCP and enter this same address as a static one...no other changes....and got internet access. I changed nothing but use a static & dynamic IP, and the address was exactly the same.

Is your server forwarding the unanswered dns requests?

OK, I found the problem, it was on the DHCP server the router setting in the scoope, router IP was wrong, then DHCP was assigning the wrong gateway address, once I change the router settings internet access came back usign DHCP. Thank you guys for your help.
