DNS Client Service Failing to Start - Missing Dependencies
Windows Server 2003 SP2 - The DNS Client Service does not start up upon starting the server. When attempting to start it manually I receive this error:
Could not start the DNS Client service on Local Computer.
Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.
The event viewer posts this error in the system log each time I try to start the service:
The DNS Client service depends on the following nonexistent service: ALGS
Actions taken in an attempt to correct:
We have reset the IP Stack using net sh int command - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
Notes
We aren't sure how the ALGS Service was removed or why its related to DNS Client Service, but if there was some way we could "resinstall" the DNS Client Service or ALGS Service to get them back into working order than we'd be willing to reset it back to however it was before.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Notes
There is no ALGS (Application Layer Gateway Service listed in services at all. But there is one on our other servers.
When viewing the properties of the DNS Client Service there are no dependencies listed. On all of our other servers, there is a tree starting with "TCP/IP Protocol Driver" with a child item called "IPSec Driver"

Have you configure properly the DNS server ?
Check the forward & reverse lookup zones. Also check the host a records in reverse lookup zones.
