SBS 2008 install fails -DNS service
Installing new SBS 2008 server. When I run the Connect to the Internet wizard, it detects my existing network, detects my router 192.168.1.1 (Cisco 871), assigns server IP address 192.168.1.2, asks me to turn off DHCP on the router (I did) and then halts: Internet Connection is incomplete. Cannot configure DNS. Resart DNS service, and then try again, or run Fix My Network (it does nothing). I'm new to all of this, so any help would be appreciated!

Basically your DHCP server should hand out static address of AD server as primary DNS server address so clients can find DC. Then put the ISP's DNS addresses in the forward lookup of your DNS server so clients can find internet. Also make sure your server has static IP address outside of DHCP scope.
