Unable to resolve external domain names to IP addresses, Vista, WS [WiredBox.Net

> This is my configuration
> Windows Vista Ultimate installed named VISTA1 and belongs to a workgroup
> named WORKGROUP.
> Vmware 6.5 is installed and Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (named WIN2008)
> is installed as a guest operating system.
> I want WS2008 to have several roles as:
> Web server, File Server, AD (Certificate Services, Domain Services,
> Federation Services, LDS)
> Application Server, File Services and DNS.
> I installed all of this and ran dcpromo.exe to promote WIN2008 to a domain
> controller and created a new forest.
> This created appropriate entries in DNS. Now this server is a part of
> MYDOMAIN.COM.
>
> Now I want the host VISTA1 to join this domain and to be able to query DNS
> on WIN2008 server to resolve all external DNS lookup on the Internet.
> I have a DSL router that connects my internal network to the Internet.
>
> Questions:
> 1. Is it possible to join a domain that is managed on the guest operating
> system from the host operating system?
> That would probably require me to have WIN2008 already started before I am
> prompted to login to the domain.
> I would prefer not to always run the guest OS. I would only like to start
> it
> when I am playing with the latest technologies.
> I mainly need it because of SQL Server 2008 functionality, AD Domain
> Services and as a IIS7
>
> 2. What would happen if WIN2008 is not started before getting a login
> prompt? Will I still be able to login (using cashed credientials).
>
> 3. The most important question is how to setup DNS to resolve external
> Internet lookups.
> I tried adding addresses of my ISP provider in Forwarders section and
> Server
> FQDN column reported <Unable to resolve> for both of these addresses.
> Primary DNS
> Secondary DNS
> 205.260.192.253
> 208.276.136.8
> I tried both checking and uncheckng â€œ Use root hints if no forwarders are
> availableâ€
> Currently I cannot go out to the Internet from WIN2008, while I could go
> before converting it to a domain controller.
> I believe the request end up in DNS and DNS cannot communicate to external

> To questions 1 and 2 - yes to everything you said.
> Question 3:
> Don't configure the DC to use your ISP's DNS servers in TCP/IP. The DC
> should only use its own IP (or 127.0.0.1) for DNS in TCP/IP.
> When you are configuring forwarding, you simply use the IP address of the
> server you are forwarding to. I hope you are not mistaken in saying
> "forwarding" because in forwarding, there is no concept "Primary" or
> "Secondary" server. Are you able to ping the ip addresses of the servers you
> are forwarding to? And are you sure that your ISP allows forwarding to those
> severs? Just for clarification, you DON'T have to forward to your ISP DNS
> servers. Windows DNS is able to use root hints to find information without
> any assistance from ISP's DNS servers.
