Hi,
I created a new Forward Lookup Zone (say, somedomain.biz) in my DNS server and added a new DNS entry to point a name (sts) to a existing server's ip address. When I ping the full name e.g. sts.somedomain.biz from a client computer configured with the DNS
ip address (192.168.1.30) as the preferred dns server, it returns the server's ip address as expected. However, if I do the same from a computer that is configured to "Obtain DNS server address automatically", it returns "Ping request could
not find host sts.somedomain.biz. Please check the name and try again.". That aside, I was able to nslookup to sts.somedomain.biz which returns the correct ip address. Can someone tell me what is wrong?
My client computer is connected to the wireless router's DHCP configured with the DNS's address (192.168.1.30).
Below is my ipconfig /all results:
