I've posted this in the DNS group but got no response and am getting
desperate as I really can't figure out what is broken.... so sorry for
cross posting...

Hope someone can help as we can't take electronic payments till I get
this resolved!

Our payment software is giving the following error:
"ICP error
The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does
not have the correct associated data being resolved for . The usual
example of this is a hostname -> address translation attempt (using
gethostbyname() or WSAAsyncGetHostByName()) which uses the DNS (Domain
Name Server), and an MX record is returned but no A record - indicating
the host itself exists, but is not directly reachable."

An nslookup for the host (Which is specified as a web address
https://www.blahblah.net in the payment software) returns an IP address
but because it is a payment company you can't ping their connection to
check it.

In what may be related some users can ping our external ftp site and
others cannot. Networking settings are propogated by DHCP and in all
cases an nslookup can resolve the IP...

netdiag - reports

DNS test . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Passed
PASS - All the DNS entries for DC are registered on DNS server
'x.x.x.x' an
d other DCs also have some of the names registered.
[WARNING] The DNS entries for this DC are not registered correctly
on DNS server 'x.x.x.x'. Please wait for 30 minutes for DNS server
replication.

If anyone can offer suggestions that would be incredible!

Hi - you posted in m.p.win2000 less than a day before you posted in here -
give people some time! I'd actually recommend
microsoft.public.windows.server.dns in general - tends to get more traffic.

Where is this payment system located? This is on your internal network, or
hosted outside?
An nslookup for the host (Which is specified as a web address
https://www.blahblah.net in the payment software) returns an IP
address but because it is a payment company you can't ping their

I'd post an unedited ipconfig /all from the DC and from a workstation.
