DNS Issue :/

Hi guys,

For some reason this morning we started to have a problem with, what we think is the router.

I phoned the ISP (nildram) and asked them what the problem might be. Apparently our router isnt resolving the DNS addresses properly to send out to the clients.

He then proceeded to tell me to set the clients machines on our network to use the ISP's DNS addresses instead of our local dns server, why is this?

I thought we needed to use the 192.168.0.2 (DC and DNS Server here)?

The clients can still log into the DC as normal which is good.

Im entirely baffled as to whats going on here, so if someone could describe it for me that would be cool!

Regards

Damon
 
I just checked the DNS Server on our DC and it has shut down, for what reason I do not know!?

It just says, DNS Server cannot be contacted. Server may not be running.

Any ideas?

OK Who stopped the DNS Server Service. *embarresment*
