If you are still having issues, or others reading this may have tried these things and they are not working you can look into this issue too.

First be sure that you ahve DNS forwarding on. You will know that it is not on if you are able to get to all of your local machines, but once you try to get to the inetnet; no dice.

Sometimes when you make a machine a DNS server it likes to think it is the only one that exists. What it will do is create a record that will not allow you to do any forwarding, and it will just read from its own records. If it cannot find what you are looking for (i.e. yahoo.com or msn.com) it will just tell you it does not exists. Try this:

1. Go into Administrative tools, then DNS

2. Open the domain you would like to fix (probably your only one), then Expand Forward Lookup, then the Domain again. If there is a directory in there that is Just '*', get rid of it.

This will allow you to put forwarding on, and be sure you forward it to something that works! Happy computing.
