This should be a quick read and easy to follow for professionals. If I have not included something please email sean_dinn@hotmail.com
.-------------------------------Here is the problem/what I am doing.-------------------------------
Currently IF I specify in DHCP scope options to give the clients 199.166.210.2 (ns.golden.net our ISP name server) or specify the dns servers manually on client ethernet TCP/IP page
THEY CAN resolve or which ever domain name
Also they CAN NSLOOKUP
C:\>nslookup
Default Server: ns.golden.net
Address: 199.166.210.2
> Server: ns.golden.net
Address: 199.166.210.2
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: Addresses: 216.109.125.70, 216.109.125.71, 64.58.76.230, 216.109.125.69
64.58.76.227, 216.109.125.73, 216.109.125.67, 64.58.76.225, 216.109.12

64.58.76.228, 64.58.76.223, 64.58.76.231, 216.109.125.68
Aliases:
the clients generate ERROR LOGS of course (such as the following)
The system failed to register network adapter with settings:
Adapter Name : {A417D7F2-7440-4906-9C16-2C84E46423D8}
Host Name : wk6
Adapter-specific Domain Suffix : bright.tetra.com
DNS server list :
199.166.210.2
Sent update to server : None
IP Address(es) :
10.0.0.17
The reason the DNS update request could not be completed was because of a system problem. You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at the command prompt. If problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator. For specific error code information, see the record data displayed below.
And
Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. Return value (1722).
IF I specify in DHCP scope options to give the clients 10.0.0.1 (tci1.bright.tetra.com) or specify the dns servers manually on client ethernet TCP/IP page
They CANT ping or which ever domain name
They CAN ping any IP out there like 64.58.76.230 or 199.166.210.2 or which ever IP
They CANT NSLLOKUP
For that matter in either configuration The server TCI1 cant NSLOOKUP at all
C:\>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.1: Non-existent domain
Default Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
So I know for sure There is a misconfiguration. This is my first attempt so I know there is something wrong with what I am doing.
-----------------------------------Below is what I have configured.-------------------------------
I have setup a Windows 2000 server box and it acts a primary DC
Its name is TCI1
It has 1 Nic Card
It has 1 56k USR modem for internet
It has all Service packs and patches
The domain is
bright.tetra.com
our web site is hosted on another computer on our ISPs server.
THE DC (TCI1) has active directory installed with no added users yet
The client machines on the LAN are as follows
wk2
wk3
wk6
als_laptop
lxk49015d (Lexmark c910 Printer)
all of which are windows 2000 and belong to bright.tetra.com
Physically they all connect to a linksys 10/100 8-port Hub (model efah08w)
I have Changed the following
The Ether net Nic Card that is in the DC has the following config
I have specified its IP address to
10.0.0.1
subnet 255.0.0.0
use the following DNS server addresses 10.0.0.1
under advanced
Append primary and connection DNS suffixes only
The DC has DHCP installed (defaults)
Address pool of 10.0.0.3 – 10.0.0.254
Leases 10.0.0.3 – 10.0.0.12 are RAS
10.0.0.16 - 10.0.0.20 Are the computers and 1 printer listed above
I have only added a few things
1 reservation for the lxk49015d (Lexmark c910 printer) at 10.0.0.20
and under server options I have added
003 Router Value 10.0.0.1
006 DNS servers Value 10.0.0.1
The DC has DNS installed (defaults)
Properties of TCI1
“Interfaces TAB” only one ip is allowed 10.0.0.1 , “Forwarders TAB” no forwarders , “Advanced TAB” Bind secondaries , enable round robin , enable netmask ordering , secure against pollution. “Monitoring TAB” passes Tests.

The DC has DHCP is enabled and a scope is setup (default options)

Address leases 10.0.0.3 – 10.0.0.12 are TCI1 unique id (RAS)
Address leases 10.0.0.16 – 10.0.0.20 are machines and 1 printer mentioned above
I added one Reservation for the Lexmark c910 printer on 10.0.0.20
I modified the scope options added 003 router (10.0.0.1) and 006 DNS Servers (10.0.0.1)
To get default gateways on client machines to read 10.0.0.1
(info from a client looks like this ipconfig /all)
