In "DNS->forward zones->setterbo.com->props->types" I changed the type from AD integrated to standard primary. I deleted the private address(192.168.23.2) and added a host record for frontdoor.setterbo.com(64.144.299.52). I left a PTR record of 2 for...
Ok,
I have been away for most of the day and can finally get back to this problem. Lets say I get DS1 and DS2 to change their records for frontdoor.setterbo.com to 64.144.229.52(as I would think they should be). I still have the problem of the zone file for setterbo.com on frontdoor having an...
GrnEyedLdy,
Thanks, but the forwards were already defined. The problem is that the zone file for setterbo.com on frontdoor.setterbo.com has an address record for 192.168.23.2(teh private IP address I have assigned to the machine) which seems to be always added by the Active Directory. Since...
brontosaurus,
Thanks for the reply. Here are the answers to your questions. I have been trying several things to make this work as you will see in my answers. I can and will modify what ever I need to to make this work correctly. Thanks so much for your help...
1) I had the DHCP server...
I am building a home network with the following configuration:
dsl --> SonicWall --> W2K server --> 6 XP machines
I have my domain (setterbo.com)registered with the NetworkSoluctions and frontdoor.setterbo.com(64.144.229.52) is the primary DNS. My ISP is DSL.NET. SonicWall tech support...
NobleMan,
It turned out to be a problem with .NET(I think). In my line of work I have to use this particular machine to test software I develop. At one point I had installed a beta version the .NET MSDev IDE. I had removed it but it seems that it did something to the machine that caused pings...
NobleMan,
Thanks for your help. I think what I'll do is start with the WAN disconnected and ensure that the LAN works like I expect it to work. I plan to set all machines with static IP addresses in the same range as the DHCP server will lease. I guess I may have to reinstall XP on this one...
BTW - here is an interesting event log from frontdoor:
The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer BMST-15 that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{567A1F52-DD32-4868-B. The master browser is stopping or an election is...
The SonicWall is unable to ping the client. Also, it can not resolve the name. The following occurrs:
Ping IP(192.168.23.10): is not responding
Ping bmst-15: Unable to resolve
Ping bmst-15.xxx.com: is not respoding
The SonicWall can resolve the fixed IP for the server and ping...
No ICMP denials at the SonicWall. Only external UDP and TCP connection attempts dropped(as expected). No firewall configured on the client(I promise ;-). There are three hubs in the topology, but this client and the server are on the same hub(which I have isolated for testing).
Thanks for the come back. I get "request timed out" when I ping the client from the server (either name or IP). The ping of the server from the client succeeds with either IP or name.
Here is additional config info...
Client from hell

Firewalls are off on this and all other clients. I am wondering if it may be related to the way I set up the domain on the w2k server. However, I have no idea why that would cause ping to fail.
This is my first post here, so please excuse any faux pas I may commit.
I have a home network which I have recently reconfigured. The old configuration had a Linux server performing DNS, DHCP, NAT, WWW, FTP, POP3, SMTP, and IPChains along with 4 Windows clients(2@9X and 2@XP). The new...
