DNS Setup
Ed Warren
Here is what I have
Pc1: Win 2008 server: Fixed IP 192.168.1.50
Pc2: WinVista: Automatic IP/DNS, Workgroup(WALNUTHARBOR)
Pc3: Win XP Pro: Automatic IP/DNS, Workgroup(WALNUTHARBOR)
Linksys Router 310N: Connects to Internet, Provides DHCP, DNS address
192.168.1.1
I want:
PC1 (winserver 2008) to provide the DNS service
The Pc's in the Lan to access the internet through the router
The Pc's in the Lan to be able to see each other using DNS
Would like to avoid using WINS
So far I have tried several DNS setup combinations and with my limited
knowledge of networking, have failed to the point of total frustration. For
development purposes I want to simulate a 'corporate' Lan so I can use SQL
server 2008, etc for testing my software.
I would greatly appreciate the "Windows 2008 for Dummies" answer.

Install DNS server role on Windows Server 2008 similar to this:
http://www.zdnetasia.com/techguide/windows/0,39044904,62040433,00.htm
Your stations must have "a" records in the dns forward lookup zone.
The server (PC1) and the pc's in the LAN must have dns server PC1 and the
default gateway must be the router. To accomplish this for the pc's, you must
also change the dhcp server configuration from the router.

A, Deji
there is less work to do.
Add the DNS server role to the Win2K8 server. Just use the server manager
GUI to do it. Select "add Role" from there, then pick DNS and you are on
your way.
After clicking through the wizards and getting DNS installed, then you have
to go to each of your other computers and change their TCP/IP configuration.
In the DNS server setting on each computer, put in the IP of the Win2K8
server. This way, whenever they want to go to, say, yahoo.com, they will
always ask the Win2K8 server, and the server will be able to provide that
info to them.
The fact that you mentioned that you wanted to simulate a "corporate LAN"
indicates that you are probably going to need to do more than just make your
clients use the Win2K8 for DNS service. If you find out that you need more
than this, then post back.
