I shoudl also add that the client computer ony has a DNS server setting for
my test server. however, this client can still raxch the internet by going
through my router since that is teh default gateway configured..... ????
Infact, I am unsing this PC right now.
My router must be proxying somehow.....

Hi,
Yes both compouters can reach the internet. However, I am just using
steve.com as an example of a domain. You saying these internet connecting
computers are trying to reach the "real" steve.com ? I'll try using a silly
domain name that does not exist on the internet
The Server is hosting the Active Directory and the DNS, its is also runnign
a DHCP server though I am just usign static IP's on teh XPclient and teh
server. I think I haven;t got the DNS set up right. When I installed teh DNS
I said it was a new forest. However, following the examples on
microsoft.com, I appear to have it all set up correctly.
Any docs anyone hs would be appreciated.
Hmmm.... I am doign this to learn towards a MCSA. I think I have a long
way to go ...... :-(
