Re: Domain authentication problem

To add to what Phillip said, there is no way to get this working properly with the DC offline. If you have a domain, all machines, including the DC itself, should be using the AD-linked DNS. Using an external DNS might get you Internet access, but access to AD resources will fail. Only your local DNS has these records.

All machines should use the D-Link as default gateway but use the DC for DNS and DHCP. The local DNS should be set to forward to an external DNS. (Forwarding to the D-Link should work, or you can use the DNS of your ISP). The DC needs to be up and running at all times.

I was using DHCP from DC. After that problems begin, I try with router and with DC. Didn't help.

Then you just didn't do it correctly when you configured DHCP on the DC. Doing it on the "cheap" and "over-simnplistic" DLink box is not the answer. The MS DHCP is 200% more capable than the Dink box ever has a prayer of doing, you just have to do it right.
