I have been running a Server 2008 domain name server for a while now with no problems at my house in a virtual environment in VMware. It is my only server which serves as my DC, AD, and DNS server. It has been great until recently.

I am starting to have a DNS problem now. It's not getting outside to the internet, instead it is local only and says there may be a problem with my DNS configuration, which has never been changed. I have my preferred DNS server set as loopback 127.0.0.1 (since it is DNS).

I'm not sure what is happening here. Does anyone have anything I should check or re-configure?

DNS service is running.


Thanks for any help.

Click to expand...

please open a command prompt on the DNS server and type:

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /all

route print

tracert www.google.com

nslookup (this will bring you to a "sub" program with a ">") type this:

www.microsoft.com

exit


post the results :)
