Solved: How can I access Internet in Windows2000 server w/AD ?

I installed Unity in the Windows2000 server as AD and DNS server is local IP address in the network property.

How can I configure DNS server to connect Internet ?

Thanks,

Under the server name in DNS, you will see FORWARD LOOKUP ZONE. There will be a DOT "." there. Delete the dot, close dns, reopen dns, and forwarders will be available.

Start Programs, Administrative Tools, DNS

Right-click on your server name, select Properties

Select the FORWARDERS tab

Add the DNS entries for the "real" DNS servers that can do internet name resolution.

Hi Hinho,

The field is grey out with description "Forwards are not available becasue this is root server"

Any other requirement to configure FORWARDERS in AD ?

Thanks,

John.
