Domain Joined Workstations Can't Access Internet When Server is Off

I have two Windows 7 Ultimate workstations joined to a server running Server 2012 R2 Foundation. Whenever the Server is powered off the workstations can't access the internet via a web browser from neither a domain account nor a local
account, even though the network icon in the system tray indicates "Internet Access".
Is this a normal situation, or am I missing some settings? This is a big problem because there are times when the server will be off, but the workstations still need to be able to work in a web browser.
I'd be very grateful for a solution to this problem.

Hi again SenneV, and thanks for the fast response; I wish the Dell community would get back even half that quickly.
"No i mean that after a while, the nla status icon on system tray will no longer state there is internet acces while there isn’t."
I was afraid that's what you meant, but I wanted to find out for sure.
"I would recommend doublechecking the bios and management ui for power options as I cannot imagine a server that would not be configurable to boot after power loss."
I couldn't imagine that either, but I've checked several time, and unless the setting is in Aramaic or mentioned in the Rosetta Stone, I couldn't find a setting for that. There is a setting for restarting after a crash,
but not just for a return after a power failure. I have the server on a battery backup so that it doesn't crash when a power failure occurs, but I can't even coax the server to restart after power is restored.
The server is a Dell PowerEdge T110 II, and it has BMC in the BIOS in which I've made all the necessary settings. Unfortunately BMC doesn't have a web GUI like IDRAC, and only (supposedly) responds to IPMI. However, I've not been able to get
that to work either. I've downloaded Intel's "ipmiutil" and installed it on one of the workstations and the server, but I can't get the utilities to work. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.
I've posted questions on the Dell Community, but as yet (after almost a week) not a peep out of anyone there. I guess I'll have to contact Dell Tech Support.
Anyhoo, thank you for your help. I do appreciate it.
P. S. I tried logging into the workstations via LogMeIn while the server was shut down, and guess What! It worked. I was able to access both workstations even though the server wasn't running. Now, if I can just get IPMI/BMC to work,
my problem w/be solved.

HT1414 I updated to iOS 6.1.3 a while ago, but recently noticed I can't access wifi (when the wifi off/on switch is frayed out) does. Anyone know a possible solution to this problem.

This problem occurred in the last few weeks and is a real downer for me because I like apple products but if I can't use wifi then I can't do my work or use much data Any possible solutions will help. Thanks

I am unable to access internet when server app is running on mac mini

I recently installed the server app on a mac mini. With the app open, I am unable to connect to web pages through the mac mini. I do not have this connection problem with the server app closed. While I can see my IP address I am also not able to connect to the server. Would love some advice how what I am doign wrong with the setup.
My ISP is a DSL through century link, the mac mini is hooked to a cisco E4200 v2 wireless router.

You'll need to go through the configuration of the server, sounds like something is off.
Have a look at this site http://www.mountainlionserver.com as well as the Apple support articles.

I have a US iPhone 3GS made in 2011. Now in the Philippines I had it unlocked. Now Internet is turned off and no technician can turn it on. I can only use Internet when I have WiFi access. Any ideas?

Please define "I had it unlocked".
If it was not unlocked by AT&T, then it was hacked. Hacked and jailbroken phones can not be discussed here per the TOS.

New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

How come I can't access itunes when I could yesterday?

How come I can't access itunes when i could yesterday? When I hooked up my iphone to sync it asked me to reset phone to factory settings! I don't think so! Then when I tried to download update it won't do it.

On my iPod touch I don't have a spotlight search icon or option available. Also under my settings and general there is no "restriction" options or settings. I reset the iPod several times and that doesn't work.
The thing is the music that is on my iPod is not all in my iTunes library so I can never sync automatically. Also if i restore to factory settings then it will erase what i have on my iPod and not in my library. I always manually add songs. When I plug in my iPod and i go under Summary...the only other tabs are music, tv shows, photos and info. There is no Apps tab. When i plug in my iPhone i do get the apps tab.
I got my iTouch awhile ago....is it possible that this is why i can't get apps?? I got the iTouch back in 2008.
Ughhh this is so frustrating. I just want to get this one app on my iPod Touch. Please help!!

Can I access iCloud when I travel to Indonesia

I am working in Jakarta for the next year and have just purchased an iPad... Can I access iCloud when I travel to Indonesia?

Welcome to the Apple Community Rosanna.
Photos in photo stream...
You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
Photos in the camera roll...
If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.
You can't do anything with the back up on your Mac, but if your photos are in back up, you might look for a friend who will let you erase their phone and restore from your back up.

Can't use internet when I'm not connected to Wi-Fi

I can't use 4g even when my phone tell me that I'm connected. So I can't use internet when I'm not at home. I never had that problem with my Lumia 925 just with my 930 and it's frustrating that I can't find any information on why.

What did your carrier say about this?
Where are you and your carrier is who?
Did you make any changes to the accesspoint settings?
Has it ever worked?
If it ever worked, what changed?
Are you on you own network or happen to be roaming?
Have you tried a new SIM?
In short..
provide more details and information

I installed a new airport express and made it part of my existing home network... now the PCs can't access internet through the airport extreme or the cisco access points

Everything works perfect with Macs, iPhone, iPads but I have 2 pcs that now can't access internet. The PCs connect to the airport and my other access points but no internet- The PCs sent an error of DNS

Yes, as we already said, it will do all of this if you have a good wireless signal reaching the bedroom.
Remember that an extender or repeater or whatever you want to call it can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.
The Ethernet signal that the Express delivers will only be as good as the quality of the wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
If you have doubts, make sure that you understand the store's return policy before you buy.
