I am currently running a Windows 2000 server based network. The server runs AD, DHCP and DNS services. I recently attempted to install an all in one ADSL modem\router\firewall, to provide internet access to all users. <br />
<br />
I struggled to get this to work (DNS issues), until I found an article on the net suggesting a possible solution. It suggested deleting the root entry (.) in the DNS, and then entering my ISP's DNS servers in the forwarding section.<br />
<br />
It seems to have worked, however I'm not sure if it is the correct solution. <br />
<br />
Could somebody please explain what the correct solution should be?<br />
<br />
Regards<br />
