However, I eventually found out what the issue was. All I had to do was go into SQL server management studio and click "SQL server services" and then single-click the server I needed to connect to. Then click the green 'run' button.
Of course, DNS isn't the only way ISPs track you. They can also see the IP addresses you connect to, regardless of which DNS server you use. They can glean a lot of information about your browsing habits this way. Changing DNS servers won't stop your ISP from tracking, but it will make it a little harder. Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8. Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4. Press OK to save changes and exit. Now restart your computer and see if this solved your problem. Note: You can also use this method to set other DNS servers as provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Ask them to give you a list of DNS servers which implemented on the Specify DNS servers. When you are using your own DNS servers, Azure provides the ability to specify multiple DNS servers per virtual network. You can also specify multiple DNS servers per network interface (for Azure Resource Manager), or per cloud service (for the classic deployment model). AD seems to be up, I can connect to that. Computers seem to be able to get DHCP.. but DNS on the server is just non stop errors, and I can't connect to the DNS manager. some people had some issues getting an IP.. once I rebooted server, they all got IP's.. so I'm just confused here. I have a Windows 2008 foundation server, and when I try to connect a vista machine to the domain I get the 'network path can't be found'. I had no problem adding a Windows 7 machine to the domain. I have made sure that the DC/DNS/DCHP server is indeed the dns, dhcp server for the Vista client machine. Unfortunately, because the librarians are on the staff network, and the patron computers are on the patron network, I can't login remotely to the patron computers (from the ref ones) on TightVNC using the computer name because the networks are on different DNS servers. But I can easily login using the computers' IP addresses.

I'm doing this for a university assignment - I have to set up a DNS server manually and test if a client can connect to it, but it wasn't specified how exactly I should test that last part, so I'm at a bit of a loss (since I have almost no experience with Ubuntu). DHCP was a different assignment.
