General discussion. By diego. Everything works ok so far. But when i try to add another Windows server to the new domain i get the message: The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location SRV resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain storage.

Share Flag. All Comments. When I setup the external ip address on the server, and open port 80 to it from the router, I can browse the servers websites from both the lan and wan.

I added another local ip to the enabled nic I was thinking that enabling the second nic and making that local would allow the other pc's and mac's to see it, but not sure. I did not want to set up a local dns server because I have not done that before, but will if that is the best solution.

I think that is what you mean by NAT loopback not supported. Therefore it is important that you connect directly to an interface of your Web Server. Either external or internal. If you only use one IP Address one interface , you have to make sure the Web Server can route the traffic back to the clients. If your Web Server uses your router as its default gateway, you might have a problem.

Because some routers acts as a firewall. What happens, you router only gets answer packets, whereas it didn't see a question. Those anwer packet get dropped and never reach your clients. Unless your clients are in the same subnet. You probably think, what the But seriously. You have to draw this out. Draw the traffic flow.

Make sure your clients can contact your Web Server by either one interface or in case you have two interfaces with the internal interface. And make sure the traffic is routed back to the clients. Yes, the router is the default gateway and the default gateway setting on my server is the external gateway ip address.

The nat loopback issue is what I have the server IP set to an internal address The server will allow me to add a second gateway to the interface, should I also add the lan gateway ip of the router so that the router can bounce the packets back to the lan? Having the additional lan ip address on the server nic allows me to get to the server using windows explorer, but it does not show up on the network when browsing.

Install and configure an internal DNS Server. Add all DNS record you might think of. Finally make sure your internal clients use the internal DNS Servers only. We will begin by setting up a cache-only DNS server and progress to creating a primary forward lookup zone, a reverse lookup zone, and finally some resource records. At the end of this article we will have set up a DNS server capable of resolving internal and external host names to IP addresses and the reverse.

Before installing and configuring DNS on our server we have to perform some preliminary tasks. The suffix will be used to fully-qualify the server name. To begin:. Our LAN is on a This tells the server to use its own DNS server service for name resolution, rather than using a separate server.

After filling out those fields , click the Advanced button. To do this:. When the Windows Components Wizard comes up, scroll down and highlight Networking Services and then click the Details button. Note that, during the install, Windows may generate an error claiming that it could not find a file needed for DNS installation.

The wizard should automatically find the file and allow you to select it. After that, the wizard should resume the install. After this, DNS should be successfully installed.

As our DNS server was just installed it is not populated with anything. The Forward Lookup Zones node stores zones that are used to map host names to IP addresses, whereas the Reverse Lookup Zones node stores zones that are used to map IP addresses to host names. A cache-only DNS server contains no zones or resource records.
