I have been having some problems with DNS server ever since I upgraded from NT 4.0 to Win2k. Everytime when my users log onto the domain and tries to go to the intranet, the names are able to resolve to ip.. but after a while, things get wild... it doesn't work anymore... now i have to ask the users to do a ipconfig /renew to make it work again, but this should be the case, anyone has any suggestions or similar problem?

Are you using an internal private connection and an external that points to the internet?
Are you also using an internal DNS and if so does it resolve local host names for you?

DNS is a very important part of Active Directory and touches parts of the system that you would not normally expect. If you could answer the questions above I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot this.

I'm using an 3 DNS servers.. 1 in my company.. to resolve my LAN servers, two from my ISP...

I have a VPN tunnel to my corporate HQ in some country, so whatever internal servers need to be resolve will be forward to the DNS at my corporate HQ side. Any clues?
