My clients all have obtain IP and DNS automatically. Ipconfig /all on a
client shows the Primary DNS suffix and DNS suffix search list as our domain
name "Remtech.biz".
The server has been assigned the role of a DNS server but the reverse lookup
zones folder is empty. The forward lookup zones folder has some records
related to our domain name mentioned above.
I'm still kinda new at this so I appreciate your help and patience.
Thanks again
