Re: Windows 2003 server, DNS forwarding to internet not working

In news:MPG.1e6a906072afb88d9899b3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
network_out <none.none.none> stated, which I commented on below:
Thanks Bill. As far as I can tell I've done all of that. The ws report
the server ip as the DNS server. Forwarding for dns that the server
cannot handle is pointed to the isp dns server. I'm not sure if you
read all that I wrote, I know it's kind of long, but something in the
details of what I laid out must be wrong.

Actually I read it and you stated:
Win2003 server std, one nic.
IP 192.168.0.10 /24
default gateway 192.168.0.1 (ie firewall)
pref dns server (my isp's dns server address
this win2003 server can browse the internet fine.
dhcp service scope range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.200

The thing that I see wrong, which you may have missed, which seems apparent
to your response to Bill, is you sated:
"> pref dns server (my isp's dns server address". That tells me that you are
mixing the DNS addresses in IP properties. What Bill stated is to ONLY use
the internal DNS, that's it. As long as the client is set to use this too,
as you stated, that's cool.

For this:
"> default gateway 192.168.0.1 (ie firewall)"
Is that your Linksys NAT router, or whatever name brand? I am assuming the
NAT/router is connected to your ISP (cable or DSL) and that performs NAT and
the internal interface is plugged into the switch all other machines are
plugged into.

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.

It's easy:
