DNS does not resolve properly.

I have a Win2k configured as a router. Behind the router,
the computers can download files from websites but,
Internet Explorer loads slow or doesn't load at all. I
can use IE on the router and open pages fine. I have
tried flusing the dns and reinstalled the DNS service:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;172989


Is there anyone who has a few other ideas out there that I
can try? The DNS server is a non-root DNS.
 
Do an "ipconfig /all" on the server and a workstation and paste the results
here.

Also, tell us what you have as a forwarder in your DNS config. Recursion
disabled or not.

I'm very glad your server isn't a root server.

Cheers

Oli

Dual NICs always cause this problem. It's a matter of configuration.

Move the internal NIC to the top of the binding order in Network & Dialup
Connections, Adv menu, Adv settings.

Remove ALL references for any external DNS server and use your own ONLY.
This is important.

Force DNS to be your server on the outside NIC, but leave the IP part to get
it from your provider.

Delete the root zone (looks like a period) if it exists.

Setup a forwarder to your ISP's DNS in your DNS server properties.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300202 will show you how in Step 3. TO
delete the root zone, it shows you how to in that article also.

On the outside NIC, disable NetBIOS, uncheck File & Print Svcs and the MS
Client service.

Set it to listen to the internal NIC under the interface tab.

Set all your clients to use the internal IP of this DNS server.

Remove the 127.0.0.1 for WINS (not related, but what the heck) and use the
actual IP address.

To get rid of this error:
*** Can't find server address for 'timeout=1':
Make sure you create a reverse zone, and have an entry in the zone for your
DNS server.

Then it should all work.

I was able to complete all of the steps except for one. I
couldn't find the interface tab.
"Set it to listen to the internal NIC under the interface
tab."
Can you be a little more specific on where it is.
Thank you.

Rt-click your DNS server name (not the zone) in your console, properties,
"Interfaces" tab, right next to Forwarders tab.
