dns scewed up

Hi! I have a couple questions on DNS, which I believe is really screwed up.
When I run ICW on a SBS2k pdc, I get that it is unable to configure Internet
connections,
but Exchange and ISA go okay.

My internal nic is a 10.0.0.2, external is 192.168.1.101, router is
192.168.1.100
All workstations are currently statically assigned--not using dhcp. Was set
up before I arrived
on the scene.

1. On the forwards, I have (for some reason) 0.0.0.0 as a Host. Why? How
did it likely get there?
2. On the reverse, there is a Ptr of
jcp-server.gc._msdcs.acbfparentadvocates.org. This doesn't look right, is
it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi! Here is some additional clues, hopefully. Part of the ICW log.

calling SetDNSForwarders (209.166.161.121, 209.166.161.120).

calling RegOpenKeyEx (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Parameters).

Call to RegOpenKeyEx () returned ok.

calling RegSetValueEx (Forwarders, 209.166.161.121 209.166.161.120).

Call to RegSetValueEx () returned ok.

calling RegSetValueEx (IsSlave, 0).

Call to RegSetValueEx () returned ok.

calling RegSetValueEx (ForwardingTimeout, 5).

Call to RegSetValueEx () returned ok.

calling RegCloseKey ().

Return value from call to RegCloseKey() not logged.

calling _RestartService (DNS).

Error 0x80070420 returned from call to _RestartService().

Error 0x80070420 returned from call to SetDNSForwarders().

calling _SetRegStringValue (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BackOffice\Connectivity\ICW, Last_2nd_Nic_Guid,
{5D5888F3-8C74-4E63-BC2F-4B9EF3AE73A9}).

Return value from call to _SetRegStringValue() not logged.

calling _SetRegStringValue (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BackOffice\Connectivity\ICW, Last_1st_Nic_Guid,
{74FFE369-6982-4971-BB5E-CF4DCC9D1B4D}).

Return value from call to _SetRegStringValue() not logged.

Error 0x80070420 returned from call to DoFulltime().

calling ::RegCreateKeyEx (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BackOffice\Connectivity\ICW).

Return value from call to ::RegCreateKeyEx() not logged.

calling RegSetValueEx (Last_Hardware_Option, 3).

Return value from call to RegSetValueEx() not logged.

calling RegCloseKey ().

Return value from call to RegCloseKey() not logged.

Error 0x80070420 returned from call to CNetCommit::Common().

Error 0x80070420 returned from call to CNetCommit::Commit().

I'm not an expert on reading these logs, but the error refers to restarting
the service after setting the DNSForwarders.
Does this give any clue? I'm desperate here in PA and must go into the
office tomorrow to try to fix this, and frankly, I have no clue what to try.
I would
appreciate any advice or suggestings. Thanks.

You may have to post this to the SBS newsgroup to get better help with the
ICW. It's been two years since I used this product.

My internal nic is a 10.0.0.2, external is 192.168.1.101, router is
192.168.1.100
All workstations are currently statically assigned--not using dhcp. Was set

That sounds fine. Is ISA performing NAT? Mabye you don't have the correct
IPs for the private side in ISA?
1. On the forwards, I have (for some reason) 0.0.0.0 as a Host. Why? How

That shouldn't be there.
2. On the reverse, there is a Ptr of
jcp-server.gc._msdcs.acbfparentadvocates.org. This doesn't look right, is
it?

That shouldn't be there either. It will not register a PTR for the specific
GC such as this. It would just have the PRT for the A record of the machine.
Souinds like this and the one you mentioned above may have been put in there
manually. I would delete it as well as the 0.0.0.0 entry.
 
You will be better served posting this to the SBS group as there are many details in the SBS configuration that differ from that of Windows 2000 server.
