dns

[sodapop]

wow, I've tried everything and can't get my dns working. I'm trying to set up a home domain to practice and study at home while im taking an admin course. Hope someone can help me out here.

I have two pc's and a domain comtoller connected to a router.

pc1 192.168.2.2

pc2 192.168.2.11

PC3 192.168.2.32

router 192.168.2.1

I'm able to ping all pc's.

I have server2003 installed on my pc1 and made in to a domain controller.
I have dns installed on the same pc. I configure a forward and reverse look up when I installed dns. I have my network cards pointing to the dns server pc1. When I try to get pc 2 to join the domain I get an error msg Im getting is "can't locate domain controller" and when I click on details its telling me its a dns problem I think resource record, but I created A resource record for pc2 and pc3 and connected them to their IP addresses.

I don't what else to do. This network is not connected to the internet or anyhting.

I hope someone can help me. thanks a head of time.

FYI....You need to check for SRV records, on you DNS server, which point to domain controllers not resource records.

I would check that there is no "." zone under your forward lookup zone.

Also start here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291382) and here (http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/w2k3/services/DNS_troubleshooting.htm) for help with troubleshooting DNS in Windows 2003.

Hope this helps :)
