Can somebody with the information I provided in my other post please give me the step by step process for doing this? I'm a newbie to DNS! Particually, the DNS is already setup but, obviously it's not setup correctly. The DNS doesn't seem to be pointing to an IP and I don't know how to change that if needed. If you don't use your ISP's DNS on your internal machines, do you leave the DNS blank or do you put in the Internal DNS? I believe my firewall is functioning properly. Everybody can get out to the Inet.

     1. Point only to your internal DNS.
     2. Do not use your ISP's DNS in any internal machine IP properties (DCs or
     clients).
     3. The machine's Primary DNS Suffix must match:
         a. The AD DNS domain name
         b, The zone name in DNS
     4. Updates set to at least "YES" in the zone's properties
     5. Your domain is NOT a single label name (such as 'domain' instead of the
     required 'domain.com' format) and you have W2k SP4 or W2k3. If a single
     label name domain, this will cause other errors as well.
