Active Directory Problem, Adding 2nd Server

[bkonner]

Howdy,

I can not add a second W2K server to active directory. My working active directory server does not get a proper NSLOOKUP. It sees my router, but says "Cannot find server name for 10.100.1.10..." (My router).

Here is my setup:

1, Router: 10.100.1.10 (NAT Server)

2, Active Directory Server: 10.100.1.1 (upgrade from NT 4.0)
Gateway is: 10.100.1.10 (My router)
DNS is: 10.100.1.10 (My router)

3, Second server I want to be an Active Directory Server
(Can not get Active Directory to work--new server, w2k,
never nt4.0)
Gateway is: 10.100.1.10 (My router)
DNS is: 10.100.1.1 (1ST Active Directory Server, above)

When I do NS look up on second server, I get error message
"Cannot find server name..."

Any idea what I am doing wrong.

One other thing, in Administrative Tools, DNS, "Forward Lookup Zone", the DNS name for the active directory server shows the server's name followed by the original domain name for the router ("gms.myrouter." which is the server name --gms-- followed by a ".", followed by the old domain name of the ISP's domain, followed by a ".", the domain name is not my lan domain's name)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Your first server should be pointing to itself for DNS resolution, and either forwarding out to your ISP or using internet root servers for external resolution. Do you have reverse zones configured on the first server?
