For all things Event ID related, I've usually found good answers here at eventid.net

I have a W2k SP4 DNS server that keeps coughing up these errors in the DNS Event log: "The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name in a packet from 206.13.29.12. The packet is rejected." That particular address is my primary forwarder, but there are others. The errors are every few minutes. Flushing the cache and restarting the service seemed to help for about 15 minutes. Also, "Secure Cache Against Pollution" is checked. Any ideas what might be causing these? Thanks. -- nme List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
