Checked the forward and reverse zones, they seem okay. Stopped and restarted the service, still nothing. I even tried taking a computer off the "so called" domain, and trying to add it back on, but it cannot locate HQ. What else can I try? Should I uninstall and reinstall the DNS and DC?

First and foremost, I'm a serious newbie when it comes to Windows Server 2003. Thank God for this forum, and the helpful people on it. I'm having a problem with the DNS, or at least I think its the DNS. The DC was installed on the Server, and the DNS. The problem is, I think I may have removed something, because now I cannot ping the domain "hq.whatever.com" I cannot ping it from the server or any of the workstations that I managed to attach to the domain when I initially created it. I was once able to ping "hq" in the beginning, but now I cannot. I can however ping the server that its on "main", or any of the other servers as well. What should I do?
