Please can someone help!, My dns isnt working properly, nslookup tells me "cant find server name for address 10.10.10.x"

Here is the error log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 6702
Date: 4/27/2004
Time: 1:43:18 PM
User: N/A
Computer: BRIDGE
Description:
DNS Server has updated its own host (A) records. In order to insure that its DS-integrated peer DNS servers are able to replicate with this server, an attempt was made to update them with the new records through dynamic update. An error was encountered during this update, the record data is the error code.

If this DNS server does not have any DS-integrated peers, then this error
should be ignored.

If this DNS server's ActiveDirectory replication partners do not have the correct IP address(es) for this server, they will be unable to replicate with it.

To insure proper replication:
1) Find this server's ActiveDirectory replication partners that run the DNS server.
2) Open DnsManager and connect in turn to each of the replication partners.
3) On each server, check the host (A record) registration for THIS server.
4) Delete any A records that do NOT correspond to IP addresses of this server.
5) If there are no A records for this server, add at least one A record corresponding to an address on this server, that the replication partner can contact. (In other words, if there multiple IP addresses for this DNS server, add at least one that is on the same network as the ActiveDirectory DNS server you are updating.)
6) Note, that is not necessary to update EVERY replication partner. It is only necessary that the records are fixed up on enough replication partners so that every server that replicates with this server will receive (through replication) the new data.
Data:
0000: 2d 23 00 00 -#..


Please help,

Thanks

I have just the 1 server, windows 2000, running AD and DHCP,

Thanks for replying,
 
Unless you have any other servers that are integrated in your network then ignore the error.

With regards to the dns server not working properly:

1. have you activated the scope?
2. is there a reverse lookup zone?
3. are the relevant host records in place?

It would be helpfull to know the exact setup of the dns server, this should tell me where your problem may lie.
