Using the Microsoft DNS server?
-
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!

okay roger try and see if you can come up with something I am sure it must work I mean I cant imagine that all NT servers use a Linux/Unix machine for their DNS purposes there must be a way to get DNS runnin on NT/2K Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

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
