DNS or something

[staboogie]

I have a major problem on my network. Internet was down, so I installed 2 2003 DNS DC's. When I try an nslookup, it tells me no DNS servers can be located. Internet is working fine now, but the internal network is a mess. It takes around 3 hours to move 50 gigs, Sometimes users can get to the company-domain in the entire network screen, sometimes they cannot. They are getting error messages like "company-domain is not available, path cannot be found" and "no more connections can be made to the remote machine".

There is also an even weirder problem. I am trying to move folders on the network, and getting "access denied" on some. I'm logged in as the administrator and using the Domain Controller. Does anyone know what can be causing this? Any help would be greatly welcome.

Are all the servers on your network in the same domain? Did you join those original servers to your domain before you DCPROMO'd them and set them up as DNS servers? It sounds like maybe you have two different AD's going with the same DNS zone name.

If you suspect this might be the case, I would un-DC those new DNS servers and drop them out of the domain into a workgroup. Then add them to the domain again and set up DNS again.

Where were your clients pointed for DNS prior to the "Internet" going down?

Thank everyone for there help. The problem seemed to be that there was a printer with the same IP address that I didnt know about. The printer was not on alot and did not broadcast the IP, that's why the problem was not consistent.
