I don't what the reverse DNS is and Every machine needs a forward DNS ie. foo.bar.com -> 192.168.1.1 and a reverse DNS ie. 192.168.1.1 -> foo.bar.com There will be a domain somewhere which is the IP range reversed + in-addr.arpa eg. 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa This is the reverse zone, and should contain PTR records for each machine with a forward IP. Win2k seems to attempt to set this up automatically (it works well enough for our internal LAN here). Unfortunately I'm not good at these kind of tutorials (and without knowing how your network is setup couldn't offer much advice anyway). Try searching around google or in the manuals for your DNS server. >how to fix it. I asked the network manager and he didn't know either. That's scary! I recommend the O-Reilly book 'DNS and BIND'.
