Just wondering what ip addresses I should put in the DNS boxes on both my server and a client computers, so that I can achieve connection to network shares and domain (active directory) and to also have an internet connection.

Thanks tom

Not exactly:
Server:
Primary- internal IP address of your router (that acts as a DNS as well) or static IP address of DNS of your internet service provider...

Have you tried google dns IP ? 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ? If you have your own DNS server on your network domain, enter the 8.8.8.8 on primary, then the IP of your own DNS server in secondary...

Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 10.10.10.7 *

You clients and server computers should be in the same network subnet for them to see and communicate on each other...

The DC acts as an DNS for all your network clients, catching and resolving the local ULRs and forwarding the external URLs to the DNS of our network provider. You may want to use the Goggle DNS as your secondary DNS on the server, but not as the primary. Your client knows only of one DNS, the DC. The DNS address sit typically distributed together with the DHCP configration by the DC.

Secondary- Google DNS

Clients:
Primary- Google DNS
Secondary- Static IP of Server(Server DNS)

It's either in your routers configuration or you call the internet service provider / goto there support website.
