    RE: DNS problem with Windows Sever Enterprise 2003

    Hi all,

    i have a bit of an issue with the DNS on Windows server 2003 Enterprise edition.

    Right then this the issue.

    Were starting to host our own company websites on our own server network. It's not a cluster domain and is managed by Active Directory, the sites have been created in IIS but nothing has been done in the DNS or Active Directory to this efect.

    Now, we have purchased a domain name through a provider, and configured the TLD to point to our DNS, and forwards all queries to the ip address and the appropriate port, whch has worked and can be recognised to all computers that are a member of the domain, ore at least ahve privelages to access the domain.

    The problems is that any public access machine, such as those connected to the internet wantign to visit the site, cant access it, its nt finding the ip addrss or the name server for external visitors. Also, the domain name is different to the DNS name.

    Eg

    www.name.co.uk

    WebServer.another-name.com

    Have looked at th si for the past couple of days and i'm not having any joys at all.

    see what you guys think of this.

    ether reply to my or grab me on MSN.

    Did you setup a reverse lookup in DNS?

    I'm assuming that you didn't overlook anything trivial, like your server being visible from outside your router? (IOW, from the internet?)
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Re: DNS problem with Windows Sever Enterprise 2003

    Hi,

    That is the actual problem.

    Checked it out with dnsstuff and it cant resolove the ip address or the name lookup. I used a dynamic ip address and static ip address and a name loopkup with dyndns.com and the public ip address is different to the private ip address.

    now i assume that this is somehting to do with terouter and not the server.

    so the question lies is, how do I make the private ip address that is relevant to all the ports on the server and the sites active in IIS public, and recignised to the internet?

    ive tried port forwrding, and this aint having none of it, and have tried using the primary gatewaay and the default gateway with the loopback adaptor, and this again is not playing at all.

    Any ideas??

    Ta

    See my post in your other thread.
    and have tried using the primary gatewaay and the default gateway
    That gives people access to your router, which is what lives at the gateway address. Unless you have remote access enabled, it's a dead address from outside.
    with the loopback adaptor
    That's a kind of virtual device. All it means is that if you try to connect to your external address (once you set things up properly), the router knows to just connect you to the forwarded computer, rather than try to connect to something out there in the world. It only exists fron the LAN (the computers on your network), not the WAN (the world).
