>I hate this DNS GUI of Win2K!! ;-)))
Come on, GUI's make everything so easy, don't have know anything,
just check them boxes, click those buttons, and pray!!!

Is "think" a synonyum for "guess"?
>Than when I want to add this A record:
>domain.com. A ip.ad.re.ss ; of web server
simple enough desire
>The DNS txt file looks like this:
>,--------------
>|patrick A 212.204.213.204
>| MX 10 mail.bekz.net.
>|mail.patrick MX 10 mail.bekz.net.
there are text files in W2K? :)))

when the hostname is absent, the preceding hostname is
implicit. This is RFC zone file convention, not MS.

Let the GUI goo however it wants, then you test it with nslookup or dig.
