Re: Cannot contact the DNS server, 2003 server

Thank you both for you replies and help.

When did this start happening?
Accoring to the logs, Oct. 16th is when the USERENV Event ID 1053

Was anything installed or changed recently?
Yes. I don't remember if I uninstalled certificate services because of
this error or not, or if it has anything to do with it. I do know that
I can no longer install certificate services (well, I can, but it
doesn't run - "End point mapper error")

Were the default permissions changed on the C: drive?
No, not that I can tell.

Is the firewall enabled?
Not on the server. On the router I've opened the ports needed.

Is the DHCP Client Service running?
No, it will not run either.

Can you ping by FQDN to any of the hostnames in your DNS server?
Yes

Checked is Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes
Also checked is Append primary suffixes of the primary DNS suffix

is blank.
