DNS Help

[ComputerGirl]

Clients cannot access DNS server. (service is started)...what are some troubleshooting tips to find out what is wrong.

 

[croque]

Check with nslookup utility from a command prompt. Try to list any record for the domain the DNS server is authorative for.

Also check the IP configuration for this server with the ipconfig/all command. On the DNS server check that DNS Server has the right IP address.

Can they ping the DNS server? And is the DNS info setup correctly in TCP/IP properties for the NIC and not DUN? I know this last one sounds silly, but I've been burned.

Thanks,
