win2k DNS probs
Hi
Has anyone heard of problems with 2000 clients using a local DNS Server? we use cisco network registrar. Problems are cannot resolve host names etc.. do not want to bother with HOST files. Would running DNS on a 2000 server help?
Thanks!

Should work with BIND DNS server as long as the W2K client is not trying to log into a W2K domain.
Hi. I have had a similar issue when moving from Windows NT4.0 to Windows 2000 Workstations. Basically, my Win2000 workstations would only resolve fully qualified names - i.e if the server was server1 - when pinging or using for other requirement i would have to do a ping server1.domain.com. One way around the problem -which is not very dynamic ! is to add the DNS zones / domains into the DNS and advanced settings on your Windows 2000 client - that way when the workstations tries to resolve a host name it will go through the search order and pickup the fully qualifed name. - i havnt tried a 2000 DNS server yet so cant help you on that one !
what´s up?
