When i use nslookup, it will prompt me that it can't find server name
for address 192.168.0.1: non -existent domain. I have created a
reverse zone but still won't works.

Is there a PTR for this IP in the zone?

I created reverse zone and new ptr pointer. But not sure its setting are correct ?

Daniel, are you using ICS or NAT (that's configured thru RAS)?

Curious Daniel, what is the IP address of your DNS machine that you created
the reverse zone on?

If using ICS, ICS 'proxies' the DNS requests thru itself to the ISP, hence
why 192.168.0.1 IP shows up, unless of course you are using NAT and DNS is
installed on this machine.

Ace, nice to hear from you again. Do you mean PTR record ? if in PTR i
didn't see any ip address that i need to put in. i just put in host
name which is my dns name server FQDN and for host ip number i put in
my machine name ? is that correct ? I have dns setup on this machine.

What is the name of your reverse lookup zone?

It should be name 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa (Advanced view) or 192.168.0.x
Subnet (Depending on it you have Advanced view turned on or not)

Hi Daniel,

Please, please please please tell me please, is it ICS or NAT?

If you are not sure if you have NAT or ICS, if you can please please please
tell me how you setup it up (your ICS or NAT) that would be helpful,
please!!!! This way I know exactly what you have. In the other thread in the
other newsgroup, we never did determine exactly what you have setup. So
please please tell me!!!!

For a PTR, just as Kevin said, the zone should be created as:
192.168.0.x (what it looks like in normal view).

Here's what Kevin posted, please do answer his questions and my questions.
It will greatly help us to help you if we all know exactly how you have it
created. -THANKS!!!!!

Ace, its a NAT. Also have setup dns. Sorry for keeping u waiting so
long. The reverse zone is 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa . In the zone i
created a ptr record where the host name is the dns name server name.
Thanks

Your Primary DNS Suffix is missing Daniel. Is this machine a domain
controller? If it is, this condition is called a Disjointed Namespace and
this will cause major issues. If it is a domain controller, please see this

Remove the 127.0.0.1 address above. The ONLY address should show is
192.168.1.2. This is WHY you are getting domain not found in nslookup.

Curious, why do you have two NICs in this machine if you have a DSL line ?
If you have the software installed for PPPoE, then you do not need two NICs
to setup NAT. The PPPoE connection (the one above) is the "outside"
connection.

Daniel, I would suggest to purchase a $39.00 (US currency) Linksys DSL/Cable
Router and connect that to the DSL modem. You can configure the router to
establish the PPPoE connection. This way you can remove the extra NIC from
your machine and your machine will not have to NAT for you because the
Linksys router will perform this function. It is the EASIEST way to do this.

Many many administrators use this method. It is very very affordable and
doing this will lessen the load on your Windows machine and let the WIndows
machine do what it knows best, be a domain controller or a server. It is
also much more secure to use the Linksys router since it will protect your
Windows machine.

Ace, yes the error is solved when i removed the 127.0.0.1 . So when i
use nslookup , the respond is only default server : localhost ,
Address :127.0.0.1 correct ? I have 2 nics as i want to use NAT
in win2000. Can software for PPPoE do NAT ? Well my adsl modem can't
be configured as nat because it is being prohibited by my isp. So i
either use 2 nics to do nat or buy a router.

The loopback probably got in there when you installed AD on the machine.

I HIGHLY Suggest to buy a router and remove the PPPoE software off the
machine. Its TOO much overhead. A USD $39.00 Linksys router will handle ADSL
perfectly and take care of NAT for you instead of the price of a machine,
Windows operatiing system and two NICs to do it. A router is much more
secure than having a Windows box exposed on the Internet.
