DNS problem
I have two DC in same domain. Ne is running DNS and other has IP config set to point to DNS to DC with DNS installed
problem is when I run nslookup on the DC without DNS it tels me "cannot find default server, default server not available".I have to manual set the default using server command with IP address of DC running DNS i.e server 10.0.0.1 ( where 10.0.0.1 is ip OF DNS server).

Apart from that error message does it still resolve without setting server=something? It might be that there is no PTR record for the DNS server's IP address. Nslookup likes to resolve the friendly name of the DNS server it is querying when it starts up just to be polite. The message is slightly different than the one you give but may be due to different version of nslookup.

ipconfig show correct info and I am not specifying any dns suffixes. not using dhcp either all static addresses

there is a PTR record for the name server in the reverse lookup zone
In local area connection, under advanced properties of tcp/ip...enter in "DNS Suffix for this connection"= windows 2000 fully qualified DNS domain name.
-Try the nslookup.
-Try the nslookup.
when you do: nslookup - ip_of_dns_server
does it connect successfully?
does it connect successfully?

if i do nslookup ip_of_dns_server. it works fine. because of this I thought the problem exists because there was no PTR record but that wasn't the case

Does IP config result in correct info ?
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : lan.2000domain.com
-Are you using dhcp option 015 & setting this option to the 2000 lan domain name ?
