dns

When users within the organization are trying to access a website without the www it cant find it. They can find it with the www though. Anywhere else outside the organization can access both with the www and without it.

Correction.... that circumstance only happens when i try to access it from the server. The users cannot see the website with www and without it. i know it has to do with dns somewhere, but im not sure wat to do.

We need some more information to help you. Is this a windows domain? do you run DNS service from your server? go to run ->cmd.exe->ipconifg /all paste results here
then walk us through how your DNS service is configured, does it use forwarders? etc..

Once we have this information we can get you all hooked up =)

Do the above from your server and then a workstation, post results for both, thanks.

It is a windows domain, I run dns from this server and a backup server. One question on the loopback, if i put loopback in the network config on the DNS server, I shouldn't have the IP of the server in there as well right? I see forward lookup zones and reverse lookup zones.... not sure if thats what u meant by forwarders. Im not the most DNS savy.

disregard the same physical address of workstation and server, i just looked at the workstations ipconfig and modified the server paste i already had on this post.

The problem seems to have fixed itself somehow.... but i was getting event id 6702 for DNS errors in eventvwr. Would still like to know what happened.
