Open Forward Lookup Zones, delete the "." zone, refresh the DNS console,
then you can add your forwarder. BTW, deleting this zone enables root hints,
so it will begin resolving external names without a forwarder.

Thanks,
that worked out fine.

Currently we are using a DLINK Router as a DHCP server
(192.168.x.x) I was reading a post saying that this is
not recommended. How do i configure the DHCP service on
the Windows 2000 Server to handout these IP addresses??

Using the DHCP management console, you simply click new scope, this starts a
wizard that sets up commonly used scope options like DNS addresses, DNS
domain name, WINS server and node type. Then authorize it in Active
Directory and it is ready to go.

....pardon my jumping in....

Then disable the DHCP server on the router. And run ipconfig /release
..../renew on all workstations if you're using a scope that overlaps whatever
the DLink is doing now.

Also, I suggest setting up the DHCP scope on the server from xxx.xxx.xxx.1 -
..254, and make exclusions in it - such as, exclude .1 - .100, and .200 -
..254 (or somesuch). This will make it easier to change your scope later. Use
..1 - .100 for statics (server, router, printers, etc.).
