RE: Unable to resolve DNS
There are a couple things to check: When you do a nslookup, does your your dns server try to resolve the address? Do you have a reverse lookup zone created? Is your DNS server set to forward an requests to your ISP dns server? -Original Message- From: Neil Macdonald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 10:48 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Unable to resolve DNS Hello, all.

RE: Unable to resolve DNS
Take a look at your CACHE.DNS file in the System32\DNS folder and see if it has any problems. You might have to copy over one from the Backup folder or from another system. - ASB -Original Message- From: Neil Macdonald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 10:48 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Unable to resolve DNS Hello, all.
