Windows Server 2003 DNS Setup.. HELP!?

by metsfan421 . Updated 19 years, 10 months ago

I have a client who needs DNS setup. They are running their internet through a DSL router/modem. One of the machines on the network (there are only 3, plus the server) takes a very long time to login to the domain with issues such as the taskbar taking 5 mins to load before you can actually click Start, ect. I figured turning the DC into a DNS Server would make the login times to the network a lot faster. To setup the server as a DNS server and still have all PC’s be able to access the internet, I know I need to know which IP Address is used for the ISP DNS Servers, but I am not sure where to enter that under the DNS configuration in Windows Server 2003. I can get into the config, but am a little cloudy when trying to figure out where to enter this information so that all clients behind the server can access the internet. Also i would just have to point the client machines to the Windows 2003 Server for their DNS after this right? Any help would be appreciated, especially step by step…

Thanks!
