I resolved error 5774 - Unable to interpret format errors by adding the IP address of the win2kserver into the dns server list of IP Properties and moving it up to the top. I found this suggestion somewhere in the newsgroups and it did work.

Shortly thereafter I began getting error 11 - NTP server failed to respond. After reviewing all the net time setsntp settings and trying numerous ntp server addresses and names, I was unable to resolve this error. In this process I came to realize that I am unable to resolve any public domain name from the server.

If I move the IP address of the win2k server down below the public dns server entries I can now resolve public domain names, but I get the 5774 errors back.

What is the proper thing to do in this situation???

PS: as an aside, I discovered that my firewall appliance, a linksys b3fsx41, is issueing the win2k server a dynamic IP address even though the win2kserver is configured with a fixed IP address. I say this because the win2k server is listed in the linksys dhcp clients table. The IP issueed by the linksys does not respond to pings, but the fixed IP does. I do not need dhcp on the linksys and will turn it off. Curious problem though.

You must only use your local DNS in an AD environment. No ISP's DNS in any
domain member or DC TCP/IP setup. If your DNS is not resolving internet
names check for the existence of a "." in Forward Lookup Zones and delete
it.
