Re: Windows Server 2003 web connection?

[Wayne <Wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hiya Pete,
I might be barking up the wrong tree here but I don't think you can
manually set the dns ip address to a 127.0.0.1 (if that is what it was.)
as windows argues that it doesn't allow this.
What /may/ have happened is that the windows 'I want to set up global
domination but lets start with making this a server' wizard has gone off
and done its thing, to which its also installed your very own DNS server
(are you noticing things like Active Directory being mentioned?).

If this is the case - you /might/ get querks when adding computers into
your 'domain' where they cant see the internet either.

Like I said though - dogs and wrong trees :-)

Wayne.
