      How did you get those IP settings on the server? The box is pointing to itself so will never see the rest of the network.
      The W7 box is pointing to the server that doesn’t connect to the domain, so it won’t work either.

      On the W7 box try changing the network to automatically obtain IP address and then send us the ipconfig details.

      cheers, Paul

      It looks like you might need to configure your DNS settings. You need a DNS server that the Windows machines can add their information to. The easiest way to do that is add the DNS role to your Server 2012 box and make sure all PCs (and the server) on the network use that as their DNS server. Then you configure the DNS server role to forward lookups for anything it doesn’t know to your ISP.

      What DNS server is your Win 7 client using?
