Hi All

I have inherited a network and it's very slow connecting to the Internet.

We have a DHCP and DNS server so I added the external DNS entries to the server so every client PC has an external DNS along the lines of:

64.x.x.134
64.x.x.135
192.168.0.1 (the servers IP)

However as you can imagine if you try and join a PC to the domain although it can see the server it won't join as the DNS doesn't seem to allow it to get there - if I change it to 192.168.0.1 on it's own it works fine however the Internet then runs slow.

I'm running Windows 2003 Server and Windows 2003 SBS as well.

Any ideas what to look for?

The problem is that if I point it to 192.168.0.1 it does eventually resolve the address but it's damn slow.

If you give it the external DNS then it's like lightning but internally there are issues (obviously fixed by pointing it back to 192.168.0.1)

I wondered if there was any further configuration needed other than the default settings?
 
Sadly I have inherited the server.

No mis-configuration from myself just trying to find out what the hell has been done to it to make it run this slow.
