Try going to computer manager then DNS and right click and goto
configure my DNS server, tell it yes add a zone and don't intergrate with
Active directory make it a primary zone. If not you have to Unistall DNS
and then reinstall it and tell it its not a root server. I have not used
Active directory with DNS.
With NAT you can share your connection that way without using DHCP. It
seems to work pretty well. We use it with 4 T1 lines
Hope this helps,
Steve
