Re: Can't ping by name outside of subnet

In a good jam here, could use some help. Have a couple of 2000
servers that I re-ip addressed from another office. Put them on my
subnet of 10.0.13.x . They can ping anything in the 10.0.13 using
dns and IP. I have other vlans in the network and they can ping
10.0.14.x and 10.0.2.x by IP but not using DNS. If I do a nslookup
it finds the dns server and resolves from there but you cannot ping
anything outside of 10.0.13.x 255.255.255.0 using DNS. If you go by
IP it works wonderfully. Thanks.

Check the Advanced tab to see if recursion has been disabled or if there is
a "." forward lookup zone, delete it.
If neither of these fix it, make sure the DNS server has a valid Gateway on
its subnet. (Netdiag will test this)
Possible root hints corruption, replace the root hints with the cache.dns
file. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249868/en-us
