Event ID 5504-DNS Server encountered invalid ....

[monet1369]

Hello Everyone,

I am receiving Event ID 5504 - "Dns Server encountered an invalid domain name in a packet from xxxxx the packet is rejected" in the event viewer on our windows 2000 server. I just recently started noticing these warnings. We haven't made any changes to the server, so I am not certain why we would be receiving this warning. The warning comes in every minute or so with a different IP address and the packet being rejected. Can anyone suggest a solution to this issue? I haven't had much luck locating one on Microsoft's website.

Thanks,

Amy

There are a few different conditions that could cause this error to occur.
