Re: Can't reach Internet from DNS server using DNS

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

In news:ONzLSYmhGHA.4276@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
MC <mc@xxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on below:
Suddenly our external DNS servers can't access the internet using
DNS. We can use an ip address to get to the internet. DNS seems to be
working fine for the outside world, but not working at all inside.
Can someone help? Thanks

Sorry, MC, your post is very vague, as others have noted. We'll need
configuration information to assist you.

Please post:

1. Unedited ipconfig /all from the DC/DNS server and from a sample client
that it is not "working" (as you stated).
2. Do you have a Forwarder configured, and if so, please supply that IP
address.
3. What was changed if this is a "sudden" change?
4. Do you have a firewall such as a personal firewall (like Zone Alarm or
McAfee Internet Security, etc), Windows firewall, PIX, Checkpoint, ISA, etc?
5. Post the results of the nslookup tests Herb suggested (beneficial to help
diagnose this).

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.

It's easy:
