Ping by name issue
I have a DNS server and a client computer in the same subnet.
The client computer A record exists in the DNS server.
From DNS server, I can ping by IP and Name of the client computer (W2K3), but from client I can ping the DNS server only by IP address not by name.
any idea why?
Thanks

yes there are entries for the DNS itself and the clients in both forward/reverse lookup zones
This is a bit of a long shot but can you just check that both the NIC on the server and the client have the following in the Advanced TCP/IP settings.

ping by name issue is solved. we had to add a rule to ipsec to allow TCP and UDP ports 53
I am not sure why we can't get to internet though.

Excellent glad you found the solution!
If you run "ipconfig /all" on the client is it receiving a DNS server in the returned information?
