Hi Meinolf,

Now things have changed....

Now it's showing my external IP address not my internal one when I do
an NSLOOKUP....

Server: server.gregtompkins.com
Address: 172.16.1.36
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: server.gregtompkins.com
Address: XXX.XXX.XX.XXX <<- external address

Hello Greg Tompkins" greg at greg t o m p k i n s DOT com,

Please give more infos about the server, is it a DC or member with
DNS installed? What exact output/error do you get?

Best regards

I don't know how I managed to get DNS so screwed up but now if I do
an nslookup on say, www.yahoo.com it returns IP addresses. If I try,
however, to do an nslookup on this server itself it times out. How
do I fix DNS?

Thanks,

--GREG--
