Hi

I have Win2K Srv with AD Integrated DNS.
I want to connect all my clients with internet.
But Problem is DNS Srv can't resolve "outside" hosts. Because I cant
setup forwarders or root hints. This table's checkboxes are disabled
(grey)


What to do, to enable forwarders?


Regard,
MaST MaX

What to do, to enable forwarders?

Use the DNS console, expand the server down to Forward Lookup Zones in the
left pane, in the right hand pane find the zone named with a dot ".", select
the zone and hit delete, refresh the DNS console.
This will also enable Root Hints, which will enable DNS to resolve internet
names from the ICANN Root. Forwarders are not required if the root hints are
loaded.
