Problems with Windows 2000 server DNS
We are trying to implement internal DNS to resolve our website names to the internal address instead of the external address when we are in the office. The DNS was set up on the server and nslookup returns the correct responses, but when simply pinging the site, it times out and can't find the host.
also of note:
> set query=any
> malachite
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.15 <<<<<<<Our DNS Server
malachite internet address = 10.0.2.122 <<<<<<<<< Correct mapping
malachite nameserver = emerald
malachite
primary name server = emerald
responsible mail addr = admin
serial = 2
refresh = 900 (15 mins)
retry = 600 (10 mins)
expire = 86400 (1 day)
default TTL = 3600 (1 hour)
emerald internet address = 192.168.1.15
emerald internet address = 192.168.0.15
NSLOOKUP works fine. But right after that....
C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXXXX>ping malachite
Ping request could not find host malachite. Please check the name and try again.

One more thing to note, I ran wireshark and saw only NBNS packets going out. Shouldn't there be a DNS query going out to port 53 of the nameserver?

We are not using WINS. I have tried to flush dns with no better results

To clarify,
When i set my dns server to our internal dns server, I see DNS query packey packets when doing nslookup, but not when trying to browse or ping to that name (example: malachite). When trying to ping, I see NBNS packets if netbios over tcp/ip is configured. If it's not configured, no packets are going out at all.

this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBNS#Name_service makes me think the computer is looking for a WINS server when it sends out NBNS packets. Can you do ipconfig /all and double check that there's no WINS server addressed. Please post the results.

Ok so it looks like the problem is that I had some records configured that werent fully qualified.
So if I have a zone of ABC.com, and a host of malachite, i would have to ping it with malachite.narratus.com, correct?
Is there a way to use non FQDNs?

er woops ping it with malachite.ABC.com i meant
I'm not sure i follow your question. Can you restate it and post the results of the ipconfig /all?

The problem is not with the client.
It was a bad zone definition.

ipconfig /flushdns
on that pinging machine to make it query the DNS server again.
