Re: Cant see out to .co.uk from inside my .local domain (forward l

I am sorry for duplicate post my machine said it could not reach site so I
posted again and hey presto it did both.

My request for help is rather urgent and I am now even more confused than
before just to recap the ping didnt work. Why?

I am sure a previous operator had this working so possibly DNS is not working
properly How do I find out if there is a pointer and remove it if possible.
Would I be better off deleting all DNS server settings and starting again,
is that even possible? The trouble is I am looking at the DNS settings,
foward look up zones ect. and I dont know what they should be. In my
ignorance I feel Claus was right but you all dissagree.
If it helps I cannot find any instances of xxx.co.uk in any part of the DNS
settings. Is this correct or is something missing.

Wrong.

The OP has probably at some earlier time created a pointer to his .co.uk
address, he needs to remove any such pointer and allow DNS to operate
normally.

It _could_ just be a propogation thing. The web hosting service may have
only recently taken control of the DNS zone and the changes need time to
propogate.

You are correct. You need to set up a zone for "yourdomain.co.uk" and then
create an A record for CP, pointing at the static IP.

Hello to all you boffins
I have an SBS2003 server on 1 nic and a adsl router which lets all
clients
and the server browse the internet no problem. except one! (xxx
represents
the name of my domain). Recently an outside agent began hosting my web
page
and email service, but i cannot connect to my .co.uk on their servers.
I cannot browse to cp.xxx.co.uk or http://cp.xxx.co.uk from any machines
on
my xxx.local domain. I can do this from any external machine not on the
xxx.local domain.
I can get to these places from my xxx.local domain if I use ip addresses.
I think it has to do with DNS.
I think I need to set up a new forward look up zone so that the SBS2003
box
knows to resolve xxx.co.uk requests externally.
Please can some body direct me to a resource that will teach me how to do
this or explain in this thread how to do it or what to do if my
assumptions
above are wrong
