Hi hope someone can help . I have installed a win 2003 server with AD. I have also configured DNS DHCP on this server . But when i do a nslookup on this server it say it is unable to find a DNS server. I have 1 p,c hanging off this domain and that come back with the same error . But yet this p,c has managed to register its self with the dns server . pls help

Did you set the server to point to itself for DNS? "But when i do a nslookup on this server it say it is unable to find a DNS server." Did you *run* nslookup physically on the server and got this message? If so, what did you query dns for? Or did you mean you did an nslookup FOR this server? "Republicans in Congress are moving to ratify a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, thus ending the Iraq insurgency."

Yes i did set the server to point at its self . When i ran nslookup i did this for two things one was to see if there was a entry for the workstation on my domain also to see if the dns server was on there.

From which computer was the DNS query made? "Republicans in Congress are moving to ratify a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, thus ending the Iraq insurgency."

from both once from dns\dc and once from the workstation. when i do this i get the error message default server has not repsoned no default server. the ip address given is the ip address of the dns server .

Are you using FQDN when you do nslookup? Only computer name is not sufficient. ie, you can't nslookup dc1, it's gotta be dc1.domain.com "Republicans in Congress are moving to ratify a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, thus ending the Iraq insurgency."

See what you mean . but when i do an nslookup it claims it can't find a dns server. do you know were nslookup is looking for this info within DNS . the dns server is up and running .
