Hello Joeb,
To get it free, just delete the .zone in the DNS management console, close the DNS console open it again and you can configure the forwarder. The root servers in this case are the internet root server, so you can delete the ..zone it without any problem. Did it myself more often.

Hi Meinolf,
Thanks for the info. When I go to the forwarders tab of DNS
properties, it is all greyed out. There is a message there which says
forwarders are not available because this is a root server.
As far as I know I set it up as a domain controller. There is another
windows 2000 server on the network which acts a sa print server but
this is not a PDC.
When i was configuring this current server i made sure that I
disconnected the other print server from the network so that it would
not be detected.
Can I change the server to not be a root server. what difference does
this make.
regards

Hello Joeb,
I would set it up like this:
Server IP 192.168.0.1
Server SM 255.255.255.0
Server DG 192.168.0.254
Server DNS 192.168.0.1
DHCP scope options:
Default gateway 192.168.0.254
DNS server 192.168.0.1
DNS Domain name yourdomain.com
Open the DNS management console, rightclick the servername, open the
properties, go to the forwarders tab and fill in your ISP's DNS
server ip. The clients will query your internal DNS server, if this
can't resolve the address it will forward to the DNS server from your
ISP.

Hello Meinolf,
Yes it is a domain controller. I have not configured a forwarder.
What do i have to configure in this area. When you say forwarder ,
do you mean forward to a router or modem address.
The server is also a DHCP server. I have configured the router/modem
address in the scope options. Is this correct. regards

Hello Joeb,
Is it a domain controller? If yes, have you readded the clients to
the domain? Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the server
and one client. Have you configured a forwarder in the DNS server
properties under the forwarders tab?
Best regards

I have recently had to rebuild a windows 2000 Server after a hard
drive crash.
Since i have done this I have been having trouble with clients not
getting internet access and clients not logging on correctly.
The server address is 192.168.0.1.
The subnet is 255.255.255.0
The gateway address is 192.168.0.254 (this is the address of a
small
ADSL
modem on the network.
The DNS addresses are 192.168.0.254 and 192.168.0.1 on the server.
The server itself connects to the internet fine. Other clients
seem
to
work for a little while and then stop for no apparent reason. If
the
computer is restarted the internet works again for about 10 mins
and
then stops. When I check the event viewer for most clients they
don't
seem to be logging on correctly. ie autoernrollment error messages
and
userenv both saying that the domain controller could not be found.
I believe the issue may be with the DNS and gateway settings but
if
i change everyhting back to point to the server at 192.168.0.1 the
internet does not work.
I also added a reverse lookup zone on the server but not sure if
that would be the cause of the internet working on some clients
for a short period of time and then stopping.
Does anyone have some ideas on what i could do to fiz the
problems.
