I need some answers please. I have a dns issue. I have a
2000 server called server.duncan.com. When I configure the
DNS as the local IP address of the server, I cannot view
the website www.duncan.com. DNS is obviously not resolving
the name, why not and how can I solve it?
 
It may or may not be DNS. Use nslookup on a client an point queries
directly at the server and see what it replies with for www.duncan.com.
Example:
nslookup
server 192.168.0.221 <=dns server IP
set q=a
www.duncan.com.

If you get the private ip back, then it probably is not a dns issue. Maybe
the web server is not listening on the private IP, maybe its a host header
issue, etc.
 
Thanks for your speedy response.

I have performed the nslookup and the reply was the local
IP address of the server.

IE: nslookup www.duncan.com
It replied with the IP address and FQDN

BUT! server.duncan.com can't find www.duncan.com: Non
existent domain

Any other info???
 
type "ipconfig /all" on the client and post it (unedited please.) Also,
show the nslookup session if you would. Also, show a ping to the same name
from the client. The server issue may just be that it is pointing to the
wrong dns servers (see ipconfig. /all and see what dns servers the server is
pointing to.)
