In DNS, on the properties of the server, make sure you are only servicing (listening) on the internal NIC.<br />
Also, put the ISP DNS address on the Forwarder tab.<br />

Make sure every NIC inside the LAN only points to your DNS - including the server.<br />
<br />
If there is a root zone &quot;.&quot; then delete it and restart DNS (or the server).<br />

Hi All,<br />
<br />
Im running Windows 2003 Server with SP2 (domain controller), and Exchange 2003 SP2(separate box) and file server that runs win 2003 SP2.<br />
<br />
I went to <a href="http://www.dnsreport.com" rel="ugc">www.dnsreport.com</a>&nbsp;to do a test on my domain. In Open DNS row it says thas i have an open DNS server. I did what the recommended:<br />
<br />
Open DNS. <br />
In the console tree, right-click the applicable DNS server, then click Properties. <br />
Click the Advanced tab. <br />
In Server options, select the Disable recursion check box, and then click OK. <br />
<br />
Once i applied the above changes o could not browse the internet.<br />
<br />
<br />
Any ideas ? <br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Open DNS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
