Hi Merlin,
Don't need broadcast open on the firewall. DNS uses port 53. But I'm curious as to why all of
them had the problem at once. It is something global, such as ports closed on the routers or
could have been someone changed some IP configurations on the servers.
Hope this helps,
Gary

'--'Hey group,
'--'
'--'We have 5 sites all linked via a VPN. When we came in this morning none of
'--'our sites could ping via the DNS name, only the IP address. We noticed on
'--'our VPN routers that the all ports are open except the Broadcast ports?
'--'
'--'Could someone tell me do we need broadcast on our routers for DNS to work.
'--'If so what port do we need Open?
'--'
'--'We have windows 2000 servers, and all the sites clients are on static IPs
'--'
'--'Many Thanks
'--'Merlin
