dns not connecting Tigger 10/28/2008 5:31:01 PM My friend had a home network at home connected to an AT&T DSL modem. He is trying to setup a windows DNS server by doing a DC promo. After he setup as a DNS server, he was not able to connect to the internet. For the IP info, he had assigned it a static IP (192.168.1...) and put the DSL router as the DNS server but was unable to connect to the internet. He said he got the 127.0.0.1 address. Why is he not able to connect?

Re: dns not connecting "Spaceman" <spaceman[ at ]realspaceman.com> 10/28/2008 5:51:11 PM The network card on the DNS server should point to itself for DNS but to the router for the gateway. In the DNS console, you will want to add the router address (or an ISP dns IP) on the forwarders tab: Open DNS, rightclick the Server name and select properties, then select the forwarders tab and enter the router ip (or a known DNS server of your ISP) "Tigger" <Tigger[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:56F259FF-44F8-451D-8E7D-345637C47A6F[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: dns not connecting Meinolf Weber <meiweb(nospam)[ at ]gmx.de> 10/28/2008 9:10:25 PM Hello Tigger, On the DNS server properties in the DNS management console configure the Forwarders tab with the ip address of the ISP's DNS server. Domain internal all machines should only use the Domain DNS server ip on there NIC as preferred and the router as DG. Do not use the router as DNS ip on the NIC.

Re: dns not connecting Paul Bergson [MVP-DS] <pbbergs[ at ]nospam_msn.com> 10/29/2008 12:22:23 PM Hello Tigger, The easiest way is to setup this dns server to answer all internal dns queries and have it forward external requests to the ISP's dns server.
