Have you enabled DNS yet?
It sounds like it is part of the same problem. DHCP won't run properly without DNS. Sounds like ticking that dNS enabled box will be the answer to alot of your problems.

Well I have DNS setup on a test machine, and for now DHCP is pointing to that. I'm not sure if it's setup correctly or not, but I do know that without it none of the machines can access the internet. But none of the computers create their own record in the DNS zone... So I'm not sure what the problem is.

I think you should set up DNS on your DHCP server. Keep it as simple as possible. Set all machines to obtain DNS automatically. I think i would need to see the network topology i'm finding it hard to visualize how you have got your network set up.:rolleyes: Do you have a router that can deal with dhcp?

I attached a basic drawing of our network. I have DHCP disabled on the router. The modem is DSL.

I was going to setup DNS on our server after i got the test machine working, but it was late and I'm not sure i have it setup right anyways.

The server, switch and router have static IPs and the clients get their IP from the Server. Tell me if you need anything else...


Thanks a bunch by the way.

What does your server do?
Is it just a file server?
Will people from your branch office need to connect to it from outside of this network?
Is the server running windows 2003?
Is it going to be the dc?
What OS are the pc's running?

Hey again,

This is our only server and it functions/will function as our print, dhcp, file, dns and terminal licensing server and will be the only DC on our network. People will be connecting to the server from the branch office outside of the network, yes. The server is running Server 2003 standard x64. The PCs are running XP/2000 and one NT4.0 machine.

Thanks for the help

Here is a link to a website with with alot good info on how to setup your server. It might not be exactly what your after but should explain the setup of DNS on your server a bit better. Look in the Active Directory section.

Just wondering, will DNS work right without AD?

Also, I'm having a problem with my forward lookup zone. When I type ipconfig /registerdns I can check the DNS server and a PTR record is created but not a host record.

Yes DNS will run without AD that is just a guide on how to set it up in AD.
