Hi Brian,

What is this domain.actdsltmp dns suffix doing in your ipconfig? You should
get rid of it.

You intranet nic looks good, but it is missing the WINS. That should be
pointing to your server IP 192.168.0.2 too. Make sure that Netbios over
TCP/IP is enabled on the internal nic.

Your external nic should not have that domain.actdsltmp dns suffix. Get rid
of it.
DNS should only point to your server-IP 192.168.0.2.
You should make the external nic static, not DHCP dynamic. The gateway
should point to your router IP, in your case the router has IP 192.168.1.1.

Now make those changes, rerun CEICW and try again.
