Do
this.
Configure
your WS03 with a DNS zone for your local comptuers, turn on
dynamic
update without security (forget the exact setting name).
Configure
your DNS to forward all unresolved queries to your local ISP DNS
Install
DHCP, configure DHCP to update DNS (assuming your MAC and Linux
don't
support DNS update) non your server box.
Turn
off DHCP on your wireless
The
assumption is you are hard wired from your DHCP server to the router.
That
basic setup works fine.

Re: deleting HostA records
Date:

we
have 2 dns server active directory intergrated
we
are getting duplicated host A records in our dns we also have reverse
lookups
we
have enable scavenge and aging on our primanry dns
the
no-refresh interval is 7days and the refresh is 1days i have set that on
the
server and the zone and thats on both servers we are using dhcp we have 2
servers
and in the dns props they are both set to enable dns dynamic updates
and
aslo to always dynamiclly update dns and ptr records and also discard a
and
ptr records when lease is deleted
but
i'm not sure if its working what would happen if i deleted ptr records
out
of our reserve dns on both servers and also all of the host a records and
also
would this best be done after hours when all computers are off

Hello

Is
the second exchange outside your network or why are you using the RAS
Server?
Better disable NIC's you do not use 169.254.x.x. For which connection
do
you use the 10.0.0.1 NIC?

Thanks,
Could
you clarify which option to use:
"Dynamically
update DNS A and PTR records only if requested by the DHCP
clients"
or
"Always
dynamically update DNS A and PTR records"?
Which
scavening time has role:
"No-refresh
Interval" or "Refresh interval" or "No-refresh Interval
+
Refresh
Interval"
Is
it there interaction between WINS client( Renew interval of WINS) and
DHCP
leased time?
Is
next simple formula correct: WINS renew interval < DHCP Leased time<
DNS
Scavening
Time?

Always
dynamically update DNS A and PTR records.
For

are
noted in the option, such as printers:
Dynamically
update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not

updates.

Not

changes
or
The
default Renew interval for entries in the WINS database is six days.
Renewal
occurs every three days for most WINS clients because WINS clients
attempt
to renew their registrations when 50 percent of the TTL value has
elapsed.

WINS

If
this error is at system startup you can ignore it.
Or
you can point that server to other available DNS and check if the error
still
happens.

Hi
Jorge
I
did that too that is how I found the problem with 4 ISP DNS IP
address
sitting in the TCP/IP properties, I already got rid of them
from
TCP/IP properties. However I am not expert on dcdiag and netdiag,
perhaps
I run them again and post here for experts to have a look.
Thanks
for that

Hi
all
I
read and read thru 2 dcdiag and netdiag logs I could not find any
errors,
howver I am hoping that I fixed this issue. What I did was that
I
rang the ISP to find out the DNS server IP for name resolution, they
gave
me 2 IPs (primary and second) and they are totally different from
the
ones in our DNS server and DHCP server, so I think because the DNS
server
could not resolve those wrong IP address ones in our system. it
gave
that error.
Let
see how it goes this time. I will update so that it would be good
for
everyone.
Cheers

Re: DNS forwarders versus Root hints
Date:
09/20/2007 13:06:42
Two
different issues:
Root
hints are a sort of default forwarder for the Internet. They are there
so
that if you forget to apply a forwarder it still works. I can't see a
reason
not to use your ISP DNS as the forwarder.
Whether
you want to use your HQ DNS as a collecting point for external DNS
queries
depends on your network topology. Let's say Branch A needs to
resolve
hosts at Branch B. Should it hold a copy of BranchB DNS zone, or ask
a
central point at HQ? However it is going out to the internet from its own
router,
so do you want to query HQ for every internet address, or stay
local?
Lots of permutations and no right answer.

The
only issue would be "how reliable is the ISP's DNS servers?" If
they are
up
"24 - 7" then take your pick as to use them or not. If they have
outages
you
might be better off using root hints.

Thanks
for the reply.
All
our branchs offices connect to the internet through HQ so it shouldn't
be
a problem that they query the DNS at HQ.
Each
location holds a copy of the DNS zone.

In
that case I would probably choose for them to forward to the HQ DNS. That

you can manage future changes to DNS a little more easily.

Yes;
DNS forwarders must only be used in TWO scenarios;
first,
you have a slow WAN link so you want to avoid timeouts
and
to do so, you decide to forward all your queries toward
external
resolvers; second, you have some other domains
for
which you also handle DNS servers, in this case you may
want
to configure conditional forwarding so that queries for
those
domains will be directly forwarded to the auth servers
as
a rule of thumb, NEVER use forwarders if you can't 100%
trust
them and/or if you don't have FULL control over them
the
reason is simple; let's say you use your ISP DNS servers
as
forwarders, those servers are a BIG target for any attacker
since
hitting them will result in a hit for a lot of people, so, say
someone
starts attacking your ISP DNS servers and poisons
them;
at this point the poisoning will hit YOUR DNS too !! While
running
a standard, recursive DNS (using root-hints) would
protect
you from such an issue

agreed
100% and.. not just for the above reason, but using such a
config,
the HQ may (if needed) implement DNS filtering to cut-off
unwanted
sites; also, setting up at least a couple of DNS servers
at
HQ running as recursive resolvers will maximize the caching
efficiency
for DNS queries and this in turn will help speeding up
things

Any other way to troubleshoot this?
Aside
from troubleshooting; when it comes
to
WAN links it's usually a good idea avoiding
to
point clients to machines on the other side of
the
WAN for "routine" tasks like DNS resolution,
in
your case it would be a better idea pointing
the
client only to the DNS sitting on your side
and,
if needed add a second DNS on your side
this
way, all the DNS traffic will flow from your
clients
toward your LOCAL DNS server(s) and
it
will handle (if needed) the external queries
and
cache results, this will *also* improve the
overall
performance of the WAN link

Thanks
for replying to my message, I knew it was a silly question but I'm having a
heated debate with my hosting provider by email at the moment and I feel
like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. I would be very grateful if
you could tell me what I'm missing because I can't seem to make my hosting
provider understand and I fear that it is my inexperience with DNS that is
causing the problems.
I've
set up a test environment with Windows Server 2008 (Longhorn) and I want to
host a domain name on this server that I currently have registered and
hosted with a hosting company.
For
the sake of this post, I have named this server 'myserver' and during the
setup and configuration of the Domain Controller and DNS, I configured the
domain name as 'mydomain.co.uk', which is identical to the domain name I
currently have hosted with my provider. Therefore, my Full computer name
is: myserver.mydomain.co.uk.
The
server is configured as a Domain Controller with DNS and DHCP, the DNS is
configured with forward lookup zones only. I have asked my hosting provider
to change the DNS records to point to this server and static IP address but
they keep replying with the same message, asking what my DNS name server is
and in my mind the DNS name server for the Longhorn server I've setup and
configured is either 'mydomain.co.uk' or 'myserver.mydomain.co.uk' but
every time I explain this they say it should be in the format of
'ns1.livedns.co.uk' (213.171.192.250) and 'ns2.livedns.co.uk'
(213.171.193.250).
I
fully understand that I should ideally have two name servers but for the
sake of this test environment I only have the one configured but I've asked
them to update both records with the same DNS name server.
I
genuinely cannot see what I'm doing wrong and it's frustrating me beyond
words. just because I haven't named my DNS server with an 'ns1' or 'ns2' at
the start of the name doesn't mean it's not a name server, does it?
Please
help me to understand before I go grey, or worse still bald.

The

I

Hi
Wayne,
OK,
you want to run a web site. Tell the ISP to set the DNS so that
www.yourdomain.co.uk is pointing to the external address of your web
server.
You
can probably also log on to the ISP site and amend the DNS yourself.
At
present, the ISP is running the DNS for that domain, so either he makes the
changes, or you make them on his web site.

Thank

You've
just clarified everything I thought I was doing right in the beginning.
I've asked my ISP numerous times to do exactly what you have just outlined
but they keep coming back with the same reply, asking what my DNS name
server is - I now feel more confident that I'm not going completely mad and
my request to the ISP was indeed correct from the start.
I

Thanks

and hosted with a hosting company.
For the sake of this post, I have named this server 'myserver' and during
the setup and configuration of the Domain Controller and DNS, I configured
the domain name as 'mydomain.co.uk', which is identical to the domain name
I currently have hosted with my provider. Therefore, my Full computer name
is: myserver.mydomain.co.uk.
The server is configured as a Domain Controller with DNS and DHCP, the DNS
is configured with forward lookup zones only. I have asked my hosting
provider to change the DNS records to point to this server and static IP
address but they keep replying with the same message, asking what my DNS
name server is and in my mind the DNS name server for the Longhorn server
I've setup and configured is either 'mydomain.co.uk' or
'myserver.mydomain.co.uk' but every time I explain this they say it should
be in the format of 'ns1.livedns.co.uk' (213.171.192.250) and
'ns2.livedns.co.uk' (213.171.193.250).
I fully understand that I should ideally have two name servers but for the
sake of this test environment I only have the one configured but I've asked
them to update both records with the same DNS name server.
I genuinely cannot see what I'm doing wrong and it's frustrating me beyond
words. just because I haven't named my DNS server with an 'ns1' or 'ns2' at
the start of the name doesn't mean it's not a name server, does it?
Please help me to understand before I go grey, or worse still bald.

Wayne,
You
should also be able to do it yourself online. Who is the ISP?
The
source of the confusion is that sometimes people want to run their own DNS
server, authoritative for their domain, and that requires the ISP, in their
capacity as registrar, to change the domain details to specify the new name
servers. That's a different thing from what you are trying to do.

Hi Wayne,
OK, you want to run a web site. Tell the ISP to set the DNS so that
www.yourdomain.co.uk is pointing to the external address of your web
server.
You can probably also log on to the ISP site and amend the DNS yourself.
At present, the ISP is running the DNS for that domain, so either he makes

Hello
Anthony,
My
ISP is different from the company hosting my web site - does that matter in
the context of what I'm trying to do?
The
company currently hosting my web site is www.streamline.net
It's
probably of little use but if you want to read the ping pong exchange of
messages I've been sending and receiving with streamline, I'll be happy to
email them to you and you can read through everything we've exchanged and
see if you still think I'm right in what I'm trying to do, it's entirely up
to you but I would rather not post it here in a public newsgroup.

Wayne,
You
are welcome to post a contact address at
http://www.airdesk.com/contact.aspx and then we can have a look.
We
are probably confusing a few different terms:
-
Someone is the registrar for your web domain
-
They normally run the DNS server that is authoritative for your domain
-
They are the people that you need to ask to point www.yourdomain.com to
your server
It
looks as though in this case it is Streamline you need to be talking to.
Hope
that helps,

Wayne,
You are just at cross-purposes with the ISP.
Can you explain what you are trying to do with your server? Is it running
services over the internet, or is it an internal LAN server?

Thanks for replying to my message, I knew it was a silly question but I'm
having a heated debate with my hosting provider by email at the moment and
I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. I would be very
grateful if you could tell me what I'm missing because I can't seem to make
my hosting provider understand and I fear that it is my inexperience with
DNS that is causing the problems.
I've set up a test environment with Windows Server 2008 (Longhorn) and I
want to host a domain name on this server that I currently have registered
and hosted with a hosting company.
For the sake of this post, I have named this server 'myserver' and during
the setup and configuration of the Domain Controller and DNS, I configured
the domain name as 'mydomain.co.uk', which is identical to the domain name
I currently have hosted with my provider. Therefore, my Full computer name
is: myserver.mydomain.co.uk.
The server is configured as a Domain Controller with DNS and DHCP, the DNS
is configured with forward lookup zones only. I have asked my hosting
provider to change the DNS records to point to this server and static IP
address but they keep replying with the same message, asking what my DNS
name server is and in my mind the DNS name server for the Longhorn server
I've setup and configured is either 'mydomain.co.uk' or
'myserver.mydomain.co.uk' but every time I explain this they say it should
be in the format of 'ns1.livedns.co.uk' (213.171.192.250) and
'ns2.livedns.co.uk' (213.171.193.250).
I fully understand that I should ideally have two name servers but for the
sake of this test environment I only have the one configured but I've asked
them to update both records with the same DNS name server.
I genuinely cannot see what I'm doing wrong and it's frustrating me beyond
words. just because I haven't named my DNS server with an 'ns1' or 'ns2' at
the start of the name doesn't mean it's not a name server, does it?
Please help me to understand before I go grey, or worse still bald.

Many thanks

Hello Wayne,
Just 2 names for the same thing. Nothing different.
Best regards
