    I have installed Win 2000 server and got a DNS server with it. I have configured it so that people can use it for the hosts I have added. But I can't query any internet domains on it. I cant get it to actually query the root DNS servers. So can someone tell me how to use my localhost DNS server for my internet purposes too?

      I'm working on the same platform here at home - I'll play with it some and see if I can get it working. Can't contact the root servers? Hmmm... I wonder if mine can? Are you getting any related errors in Event Viewer? Murphy was an optimist!

          You need to enable forwarding so that your DNS server queries a server upstream. Use your ISP's NS for your upstream provider and enable recursion. Cheers Mike
