Re: DNS Server on SBS 2003 Stops working

Well now with DHCP on SBS, type ipconfig/all at a dos prompt (on the server)
and post the result.

Thanks for the Quick response.
I took the DHCP off of the router, installed DHCP, set up a scope, and
hoped
for the best. Unfortunately within 20 mins I was back restarting the DNS
server. Then, just to make sure I rebooted; no change.

Any Recommended settings for the DHCP config that might help? I just used
what came as a default set (like, nothing).

Get DHCP off the router and on to SBS. Likely this will fix your DNS
problems ( and a lot more you probably are not aware of yet).

Several times a day, I need to restart the DNS server on my SBS2003
box. I
find that my mail does not go out, and then see if I can get out with
IE,
and
that fails. I restart the DNS server and I'm fine for a while.
Intersting
that in the applet, the DNS server shows as started. BTW, in the
Exchange
System Manager, I then need to go to the quques and force connection to
get
the mail out after the restart. The only error I can find is the
following:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 113
Date: 1/25/2007
Time: 7:59:58 AM
User: N/A
Computer: BCSSRVR
Description:
The DNS server could not signal the service "NAT". The error was 1168.
There
may be interoperability problems between the DNS service and this
service.

I can access the internet from other workstations. I am running DHCP
off
the
router (Netopia 3386 ENT). Mail continues to come in.
When I restart the DNS Server, it may work for 1 minute, 5,10 an hour,
half
a day. Who knows. I spend a lot of time logging in to send mail to my
Gmail
account to see if my mail is going out!

Help, please!!
