The latter.

Okay, the server is obtaining the IP and DNS from the router, but we're still having the same problem as before - no one can get on a remote connection to the server from home.
Before you troubleshoot DNS any further, ping a hostname like puritanboard.com from the server to see if it can resolve a hostname. Maybe it's not a DNS issue.
