DNS server not found

Locked

I’m working with an inherited network in a small HS.
The one server (win20000) keeps comming up with DNS server not available as a log-on error on the server. I look and the service is running. I’ve done a work-around by putting the ISP’s DNS server IP address on the local machines, but where should I look for the server configuration problem?

back, back, back it up-aaaaah (the rap song get it?)

Try doing a reverse DNS lookup

http://remote.12dt.com/rns/

This should letcha know whats up.
Also, are you forwarding to root hints…all the normal dns stuff?

Wrong forum.

This is a tech. problem, in search of a solution.

It properly belongs in “Technical Q&A,” not in “Discussions.”

Please re-post there.

Thank you.
