Easy fix!
In your DNS server, delete the Root zone. It is a zone that looks like a
period.
Then refresh the console, or close it and re-opent it, then configure your
forwarder to your ISP's DNS server. Here are these steps if not clear:

Just make sure you keep your config where you do not use the ISP in any
machine other than the forwarder!
:-)

Hope that helps you out!
