asked on

DNS problem - i think...

Hi all,

i think we maybe have problems with our DNS server

users are unable to connect to certain web pages, to diagnose the problem, i remote desktoped to another machine at another site and that machine was able to get on one of the sites

where on sbs with isa installed at this site, i ruled out isa as my machine doesnt point to isa as its dg, it points straight out to the internet, so the only thing my machine has in common with the others on this network is the DNS server,

i have the primary dns server set to the sbs server and then under dns i have added a forwarder to my isps dns server

can anyone help me out?
help me diagnose further?

Thanks
Alex

its on all machines, and my machine bypasses our proxy so it cant be that?

here you go

Your detected IP address is 77.xxx.xxx.xxx(static-77-xxx-xxx-xxx.karoo.KCOM.COM) - whois search
There are 2 alternatives:

    * You are directly connected to the internet
    * You are using a highly anonymous proxy ok
