@JaredBusch

DNS Client is running
Can ping the domain controller

What's a DNS Client? nslookup itself is the DNS client. It's the DNS service that you are looking for on the server.

what about the server?

Simple check (on the server -> cmd.exe)

netstat -an | findstr /I "udp" | findstr "53"

netstat -an | findstr /I "udp" | findstr "53"

The only machines that aren't working are the file server and print server. Everything else connected correctly. Am I doing this on the domain controller or problem server?

On the problem server check and see if there are static DNS servers defined. That would be my guess.

This command just checks if there is something listening on UDP/53. 53 is the default DNS port, 99% of the DNS requests are served using UDP. Be aware, DNS CAN use TCP too. So yes, use that on your DNS server.

The IP's are correct

Erm, is the .16 a DNS? Same host?

I was going to say. Is this on the 2003 DC or the File server you are having issues with?

My guess is that the .16 is his file- or printserver, so one of the failing ones.

Assuming the DC since he said the DC was .16

.16 is DNS. It's the domain controller

ok, looks good (second last row).

Could you just post a small list with IPs?

DC
Fileserver
Printserver

Are your subnet masks the same on every device?

@wirestyle22

Can you post the TCP/IP settings from the machine you are having an issue with?

Good to know. How about the configuration of the problem servers.

Need the DNS data ipconfig /all or go through the details pane like you did previously.

@wirestyle22

Sorry, I mean the same screenshot as you posted for the DC.

[thwr]

At least everything is on the same subnet... to sum up:

• You can ping the .16 from .23 and .36 and vice-versa
• You can not use "nslookup somehostname 192.168.10.16"
