nslookup and DNS

[tsmithind]

I have a W2K server environment with 10 or so W2K & W98 clients. I am running DNS, DHCP and WINS. I have all the clients pointing to the internal DNS server 192.168.0.10 and this server is forwarding to the ISP DNS. Seems to work fine but when I do an nslookup (with no extensions) on a W2K client, it tells me: "Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.10: Non-existent domain" and then gives me the Default Server and address of the ISPs DNS server.

What is happening here? Why can't it find my internal DNS server with my domain name? How can I fix it so it does?

Thanks

Add a PTR record in the reverse lookup zone pointing to the DNS server. Marc Creviere

Thanks, that works. What causes the Userenv event 1000 on the server in the Application Event Log to occur every five minutes? I think my DNS is now set up correctly with the correct forward and reverse lookups.

The error says: Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. Can I fix this error from occuring?

Make sure Dynamic updates are enabled for the forward lookup zone for your domain. Right-click on the zone, choose properties, and set Allow Dynamic Updates to Yes. Marc Creviere

It is already set to Yes.

Dunno, a quick search of the MS knowledge base seemed to indicate that those would be related to Group Policy Objects. I have no specific ideas though. Marc Creviere
