RE: Strange Irregular DNS/Networking Problems

Thanks for the help.
I have made the changes and will let you know if it resolves the problem.
The easiest way is to try running Firefox! I will wait for the DNS changes to
propogate first.

I was already using the server for DHCP.

Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks

Hello robinwilson16,

Yes, let the router only do it's routing job nothing else. FORWARDERS set
on the DNS server. If you use also the router for DHCP remove it and stop
DHCP on the router. This is also better to run on the server.

At the moment the requests get forwarded to the router which then
deals with forwarding the requests on to the ISPs name servers.

Would it be best to remove the router from there and put in the ISPs
name servers instead?

Thanks

Hello robinwilson16,

The router should not be set there, or do you use it for any DNS
services?

Sorry the router is in as a forwarder and my previous comment saying
the router was not specified is incorrect.

Hello Meinolf

I have double checked the DNS settings and only internal dns
servers
are
being used.
I allow only secure updates
The start of authority is the domain controller
The name server is the domain controller
WINS is not being used
Zone transfers are only allowed to name servers
I do have a TAPI3Directory which I don't normally see on other
domains. What is that used for?
I use TCP/IP V4 for the network and nothing in DNS points to any
external IPs or addresses or even the router. Is this correct?

Thanks for the help

Hello robinwilson16,

Make sure that you use only domain internal DNS servers in the
domain and no externals, except as a Forwarder on the DNS server
properties in DNS management console. Do you use networking over
TCP/IP or is it disabled? WINS server?

I forgot to mention that rebooting the domain controller will fix
the problem (until the next time it occurs)
