[Kevin>>]The FULL COMPUTER NAME is listed
as "ns1.globeqc.com"

 the name of your domain,

[Kevin>>] Under NETWORK IDENTIFICATION the computer is a
MEMBER OF: "WORKGROUP" not "DOMAIN". The registered
domain on the internet that I registered through
godaddy.com is "GLOBEQC.COM". I hope this helps.

 Then let's progress to describing
>what you want to do with DNS.
>
>You say you host 3 Domains, and "All of the domains are
pointing to
>ns1.globeqc.com and ns2.globeqc.com". What is the
relationship between
>"ns1.globeqc.com/ ns2.globeqc.com" and YOUR internal
domain (i.e. the domain
>where the DNS server is physically joined to).

[Kevin>>] Ok, I will do my very best to answer these
questions accuratley. That is correct that all 3 domains
point to "ns1.globeqc.com"/ "ns2.globeqc.com". The
relationship between "ns1.globeqc.com"/ "ns2.globeqc.com"
and MY internal domain where t he dns server is joined to
is NULL. Honestly, I am just confused about whether I
need to set up the windows 2000 server as a member of
a "workgroup" or a "domain". Currently, it is setup as
a "workgroup" and again the full computer name
is "ns1.globeqc.com". Is this the first item that must
change?

>We may then need to progress up to you DSL/Switch
configuration part, but
>let's start easy first.

[Kevin>>] Ok, I hope my answers make sense I am anxiously
awaiting your response. One last note, I did setup "DNS
SERVICES" so I do have "DNS" listed in the control panel
under "Administrative Tools". I have also attempted to
configure the dns server but, I am not sure if it is
configured correctly. Thanks for all the help so far...
