DNS failed

Hi,

I have windows server 2012R2 and I installed DNS service on it." I do not have active directory its just DNS server".  I created new zone with name "ta.com" to refer to ip address "172.16.0.100" then I tried to ping on it using "ta.com" from server. I got reply from "127.0.0.1" and when I tried to ping from any computer connected to this server using "ta.com" I got "ping request can not find host ta.com"

any suggestion will be very appreciated
Thanks

hreedhar Ette is right, you must set IP addess in DNS section on IPv4 properties on computer pointing to new DNS server in your network, also make sure you have a rules on your firewall that will allow DNS requests go through.
Also to make new DNS working correctly you must set it correctly. Check if your new DNS server has root hits list. THis will tell you if your firewall is set correctly and your server can connect to root hits server list.
