Some of what I was hoping he'd figure out for himself. But all true.
Make sure that laptop you have R2 installed on stays on all the time, too. Once you start handing over network services and FSMO roles, you wont want it to be off ever.

Thanks for the DHCP range explanation on your first post, that helped me clear up some IPs I could assign.
What I bolded in your quote is the issue I have. I don't want this server/client affecting the rest of my network, as it is just a test / experimental server that I'm learning how to do policy management/AD/etc.. on.
The problem I have now just encountered is this:
I went into my router and limited its DHCP range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.225
I went onto my test server and assigned it the static IP of 192.168.1.230, and it won't connect to the internet.
I also tried reserving the 192.168.1.230 address on my router (proper MAC typed in and all), reopened the DHCP range to 254 and still no connection. NFC why this won't connect to the internet. I have the proper subnet mask, gateway, etc all typed in.
