let me first say, that i have tried for hours looking for microsoft documents
on how to add an additional domain server in a Windows SBS network, however
only come up with documents telling you it can be done (contrary to popular
belief)....but not how to do it.

one nic in SBS server = 192.168.254.200 connected to main router
main router connected to dsl & cable connections...local ip = 192.168.254.1
one nic in additional Std. 2003 server = 192.168.254.197 connected to switch
- uplinked to router

SBS Server host name = Torment2k3
Additional Server host name = DVR
(I have followed your last post stating that I should not have any other DNS
address besides the SBS server configured, however, since it still didn't
work, i added in the router as secondary DNS address incase the SBS goes down
for maintanence or whatnot)

C:\Documents and Settings\DVRAdmin>ipconfig /all
