I got it working now. I think what fixed it is I did a "nslookup www.yahoo.com" command and I guess it forced it to use the dns server and cached it. Any way it works great now. Thanks alot for your help. I learned a little more about W2K server from this.
The first DC is set up as (Domain Controller for a new domain) then I selected (Create a new domain tree)then (Create a new forest of domain trees).
The 2nd one set up as (additional domain controller in an existing domain)
I don't know what the proper DNS setting and reverse and forward lookup should be.
"Cause: the DNS server's reverse lookup zones do not contain a PTR record for the DNS server's IP address."
How do I fix this?
This is the error that I am getting when I try to make the second one connect...
as of now I only have 1 DC and DNS server. I am just trying to get the 2nd DC to join the existing domain. Should I make that one a backup DNS server also.
I am having some wierd problems with my 2nd server. I am currently reloading it with W2K server. I will let you know how it goes once...

C:\>nslookup
*** Can't find server name
*** Default servers are no

I am not sure what this means.
I tried setting my dns setting on the DC to my win NT dns server. Then I stopped and restarted the netlogon service. I got a lot of errors. I changed the dns setting on my DC to point to itself and restarted the netlogon service again and got no errors. Which way is right?
I have done this and now I am getting another error.
(The operation failed because:
Failed to configure the service NETLOGON as requested
the wait operation timed out.)
I am trying to make serveral servers be domain controllers for 1 domain. The first one would be the root and the rest would be backups. I already have the first domain controller created. I keep getting an error when I try to create "additional domain controller for existing domain".
