I have only one server (w2k advanced server) with dhcp,
dns, ad, wins and isa running on it. The server has 2
nics (one for internal and one for internet).
My server ran for a long time without any problem. But
now I am getting a problem with dns.
dns is still well interworking with AD (every client w9x,
w2k, wxp well login and connect to every resource on
server), however the server can not resolve any name
(both internal and external) so that client can not
access Internet services.
Anyone have ever got into the problem, plz help me.
Thanks beforehand.

So you are saying that DNS can not even resolve names out of the zones it
owns?

You may have a corrupt cache; type the following at the command
line at the DNS server
DNSCMD /clearcache

If this does not help, take a look at the other parameters you
can run with DNSCMD. You can also run DNSLINT.EXE to diagnose
DNS problems.

him to see which of the four he would find.
The ape escaped a fifth way.
