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

In the dhcp area there are only two entries

06 dns servers 192.168.0.10
15 dns domain name whatever.local

you mentioned 03 as gateway, on my system 03 is router. Wasn't listed, I
added it with the ip addr of smoothwall, and suddenly I can get to the
internet from the ws!

Now, I actually changed two things before rebooting the ws and it
worked. #1 added the 03 router listing above. #2 on the ws I added the
prefix whatever.local to the computer name. I'm not sure which impacted,
maybe both?

(I still get the nslookup err mentioned in my other post to you)

Thank you

Thanks Ace

I can get to the internet from both the firewall and the server. Only
the workstations are unable. Yes the smoothwall is connected the cable
modem.

internet

smoothwall

switch

server all workstations

So server and xp ws are all right off of the switch.

Prior to my current attempts I had smoothwall as the dhcp server and
all boxes were able to get to the internet. DHCP is now via server.

I mentioned in another post, am I missing an element? Router or
something? Will the config I have work?

It should work. This is a simple network design. I assume when you switched
over DHCP, that the scope or server options are set to give the workstations
the correct config, such as internal server for DNS (Option 006) and the
gateway (Option 003) being the Smoothwall?
