Windows 2000 server help!

[medina289]

I'm tryingo to distribute internet in my office. The internet signal enters via a router. I configyred the gateway as the router ip. When I try to conect to the internet I must put the internet dns as the prefered dns server but the secondary dns - my office net dns - doesn't work. I access the internet or the office net if the Internet dns is in first place or the office net if the office dns is in first. Help? Thank you very much.

You prob havent set up DNS correctly. The Primary DNS server you should hand out either by DHCP or statically assigned IP's should be your local DNS server.

On you win2k box, open up the DNS management console, then right click on the yourServerName > Properties > click forwarders tab > make sure forwarders is enabled then in the box below enter the IP of your ISP's DNS server.

Hope this helps

I forgot to tell you I disabled the router dhcp and I use my server dhcp service. I reserved an address of my pool to the router. If I understood you well I only have to define the Default Gateway to my users, they get an ip from the server and then enable forwarders as you said. Thank you very much.
