I?m running Windows 2000 Server. I believe I suffer from some kind of virus network event, but I don?t what it was. Seemly unrelated and probably unrelated failure happened all within a few days of one another. First my ability to browse the network, or any network drives came to a stand still. A snap server NAS completely failed. A monitor burned out, and an AGP network slot creates a yellow tinted screen. With some graphic cards, but not others. Though none of these problems have really been solved, the primary problem at this time is DNS.
My server is running IIS, sql server, exchange server 2000 and serves as my local domain controller (PDC). I have an Efficient Network router and DSL modem, running DHCP and NAT (routing only 4 ports to the server). The server is running DNS, which appears the configured properly with forward and reverse lookup zones ? it worked perfectly before, and I have changed nothing. Now what happens is within a certain time of rebooting the server, from 1 to several hours both my server and other boxes on the network are unable to resolve many, but not all domain names. This causes problems in browsing and sending emails. The domains that resolves and fails are not consistent. I can go to any site with an IP Address. There are no DNS error being generated in the Event Viewer.
