Server 2003 access the internet

I am loading a Windows Server 2003. I added the Domain controller option. I
am able to get an IP address but I cannot get the server to see anything else
on the network and no workstation can see the Domain. The server can ping
it's own ip address but it cannot ping any other workstation or the gateway.
When I run ipconfig it gives me the ip address and the correct gateway. I am
attaching to a Cable modem via a router. I have 4 other computers that are
able to access the internet, but they cannot attach to the domain.

Does anyone have any ideas for me to try? I feel like it is one simple
thing I am forgetting.

Hi,

I would first check cables and try to switch ports on router. Do you have
any filtering enabled on router (like MAC filtering). If you try and ping
your gateway what is the message that you get? Ping timeout or something
else? After ping run this command

arp -a

Do you see gateways MAC address?

Are IPs assigned to you automatically (DHCP)?

You should assign your server a static IP on your private network range.
How many NICs?

Make sure DNS is set up right. All servers and workstations should specify
*only* the internal AD-integrated DNS server's IP address in their network
settings. The AD-integrated DNS server should be set up with forwarders to
your ISP's DNS servers for external resolution. See
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;300202 for more
info.

Set up DHCP server on your server for your internal IP range so all clients
receive an address from it, not from your Internet router.
