Hi,
No there is only one NIC card on the machine. The windows 2003r2 box is running its own DNS, which all the clients are pointing to in their IP settings.
I have no idea where this external DNS IP address is coming from.
THanks

Do you have two NICs on the server? It is better to use internal DNS instead of ISP DNS.

Hi,
I have a W2003r2 server, and a XP client.
Everything seems fine, can ping the FQDN etc from client to server, client
can login in etc, but can not browse network from the client(can on server).
I have stopped the browser on the XP client, to ensure there is only the one
master browser.
I do however get the folloing in my R2 servers system event log, when
starting the netlogon service.. The DNS server it is trying to update
(209.212.65.15) is no an IP addres of a machine in my network so I assume
for some reason its trying to update a remote DNS server some where.
Also when I run dcdiag I get a error on connectivity (the error is at the
bottom of this post...

USER ACTION
Determine what might have caused this failure, resolve the problem, and
initiate registration of the DNS records by the domain controller. To
determine what might have caused this failure, run DCDiag.exe. You can find
this program on the Windows Server 2003 installation CD in
Support\Tools\support.cab. To learn more about DCDiag.exe, see Help and
Support Center. To initiate registration of the DNS records by this domain
controller, run 'nltest.exe /dsregdns' from the command prompt on the domain
controller or restart Net Logon service. Nltest.exe is available in the
Microsoft Windows Server Resource Kit CD.
Or, you can manually add this record to DNS, but it is not recommended.

Although the Guid DNS name

is
registered correctly with the DNS server.
