Question : DNS does not forward requests
|
|
Greetings from Athnes, Greece and my best wishes for a happy new year.
Here is my problem:
I have a Windows 2000 Server, running AD,DHCP and DNS. Last week I set up a Broadband connection for the company (ADSL). I setup the DNS to forward requests to ISP's DNS servers but it doesn't seem to work. Now I only have the workstations with internet acces by adding the ip for the DNS servers of the ISP in DHCP scope option for DNS (006). I know this is the wrong way but it was the only one to give the clients internet access. If i ping from server an IP, I'm getting replies, but pinging by name or trying nslookup has no effect. Here is a description of the setup.
Domain Controller: IP : 192.168.0.200 DHCP : no DNS : 192.168.0.200 Default Gateway : 192.168.0.254 (ADSL Router's IP)
Clients: IP : Dynamic DHCP : Yes DNS: 192.168.0.200 195.170.0.1 (ISP'S primary DNS) 195.170.2.2 (ISP's alternate DNS) Default Gateway : 192.168.0.254 (ADSL Router's IP)
Clients resolve exterlan names to IP only if i ad the IP of the ISP's DNS (i.e. nslookup www.yahoo.com 195.170.0.1). Otherwise they do not...
The server does not resolve external names with or without ISP's DNS
Any help ?

Sounds correct but it still problem points to this box, try to delete this configuration and reconfigure see if it resolves.
