I have a 2003 windows server acting as the domain controller and also running Active Directory for user and computer accounts, which requires DNS to be configured.
From the Windows 2003 server is a linksys router running the DHCP service which is connected to a Cisco router that supplies the ISP settings.
I have the server set to a static IP 192.168.1.2 and the DNS setup on the domain controller, but it takes about 5 minutes for a client to logon to the domain.
How do I need to configure the DNS service and Active Director on the server to speed up the login process?
Do I have to set up a forwarding zone to the ISP DNS?
