Dave, How do you test?
The resolver is different from the server! If you are trying Ping, Tracert or other - then they use the resolver and the resolver goes by the network settings. You said you removed the ISP's DNS servers - what did you replace them with? What happens if you do an NSLOOKUP and then use the "server" command to specify your DNS server. Then try to query for domain names.

Hi, All- I am missing something about Windows DNS servers/resolvers... I'm using W2K and W2003 servers with the respective MS DNS servers on my mail servers. I have installed DNS servers in cache-only mode. The root hints appear to be correct. Recursion is enabled and no forwarders are specified. My ISP's resolvers are specified in the network setup. How can I set these servers to query the root servers and resolve addresses on their own without going through an intermediary resolver at my ISP? When I remove the ISP's resolvers from the network setup on the machines, the DNS servers don't resolve anything. -Dave Doherty Skywaves, Inc. --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
