Problems with DNS in Windows 2000 domain

[GBONGIOVANO]

Ok I have a site that is in two different locations. Both have windows 2000 and 98 clients
The dns server (Windows 2000) is at 192.168.2.5. I am running an apache webserver also at that site 192.168.2.100. I configured DNS to point to "interweb" ( the name of the webserver)
All clients at this site can see the web page both by ip and
host name "interweb" when they enter it into their
IE address bar.

At the other site, 10 miles down the road. in the 192.168.1.x netmask. All Windows 2000 clients can see the web server but I have to put 192.168.2.5 FIRST in the DNS search order. This has proved to work fine "interweb" and ip address work fine. However I cannot get the Windows 98 machines to resolve "interweb" I can see the site via Ip address. I have entered 192.168.2.5 in the network properties under DNS. I have tried looking all over the web. I appreciate any and all help.
Thanks alot
George

Cancel that thread I fixed it. I had to set up the dns correctly on the novell server at the seccond site.
And I'm just an intern. I love it.
Thanks
