The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DNS issues for LAN/WAN

Asked by humeston in Network Routers, Cisco PIX Firewall, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: dns

We have a Cisco 2600 router and a 515 PIX.  Below is the configuration for the router on the 10.0.0.0 network:
memory-size iomem 30
clock timezone PST8PDT -8
ip subnet-zero
ip cef
no ip domain-lookup    
ip host butler 10.0.0.12 (***THIS Server died and was replaced with 10.0.0.7 Windows 2003 DNS server***).
ip domain-name ourcompany.com
!
!
controller T1 1/0
!
controller T1 2/0
!
!
!
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 description *** main 10.0.0.0 subnet ***
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
 no ip redirects
 duplex auto
 speed auto            

DNS was never properly configured on the network.  Currently I can ping yahoo.com from a Windows command prompt, but it only returns the following:


c:\>ping yahoo.com

Pinging yahoo.com [66.94.234.13] with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 66.94.234.13:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)

Note that I can browse to yahoo.com without issue, but do not receive replies from command prompt.

Nslookup from command prompt returns the following:

c:\>nslookup yahoo.com
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  10.0.0.7:53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    yahoo.com.ourcompany.com
Address:  208.67.219.137

I changed the DNS on our DHCP server to use the OpenDNS addresses 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.  This enabled me to at least get a response from Nslookup, but even after performing an ipconfig/release and renew from a DHCP computer, it still defaults to the old DNS setting of 10.0.0.7

What I'm trying to accomplish is to get DNS configured properly.  Again, when I ping external websites by name, the ip resolves correctly, but no replies with ping.  When I ping our internal websites, they correctly resolve and reply with the internal ip:


c:\>ping internalwebsite.com

Pinging internalwebsite.com [10.0.2.184] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 10.0.2.184: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=127
Reply from 10.0.2.184: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=127
Reply from 10.0.2.184: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=127
Reply from 10.0.2.184: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=127

Ping statistics for 10.0.2.184:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

Have a few more questions than this, but have to run for now.  Thanks for any input, as other articles I saw out there didn't quite address it.  If you have tips for configuring DNS on a 2003 domain controller, that'd be great, as well.  Basically I need DC for our LAN and internal DNS and forwarders for the external websites (google.com, etc).  I have a start on it, but there's definitely some things missing.
