Re: DNS requests timing out

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi

What does this mean exactly

"When I specify on the server and the clients"

Does it mean when you dont use dhcp to lease addresses? can you provide an
ipconfig/all from server and client as there isnt much to go on in your post.
I assume you have checked for things like a root dns zone created "."

i assume also you can ping remote ip addresses?there are issues with dns
packets andsome firewalls. has this been checked?

do you get any eventlog errors? what about netdiag and dcdiag with the DNS
tests what do they report?

Regards

Hello folks -

I have a Windows 2003 Server running AD, and is the primary DNS for all the
clients. Any external DNS requests (such as www.yahoo.com) are timing out.
When I do a nslookup, I get a message "DNS request timed out. Timeout was 2
seconds. Send request failed".

When I specify on the server and the clients, the connection to the Internet
works fine. I checked all the root hints, and they seem to be fine. I also
had a forwarder configured, but access to the Internet was still unavailable.

Any suggestions on what could be tried?
