Turn off router DNS?

[Stormin_Norm]

Several months ago our small biz moved from dynamic DSL to Static DSL. The router was replaced. Now I noticed several pc's using the router DNS vs. the Server's DNS. Should I turn this off? I'm wondering if this is the cause of an SPSI error w/ SQL MSDE (Outlook BCM).

Thanks!!

You dont necessarily need to turn off the service.. just dont point any of the machines to the router for DNS. Update your scope in active directory and release all the DHCP leases and restart all computers..

This should have nothing to do with Outlook BCM

Excellent, the pc is now looking at the correct server for dns. But I noticed when I ran a tracert to the server it resolved to the vpn IP, not the server's "base" IP.

server IP: 192.168.1.2

vpn IP: 192.168.1.74

Also-- outlook bcm is consistently giving an SPSI error message, which SQL msde kb article says may be dns related.

I wound up adding server1 to the pc's hosts file to ensure it resolves to 192.168.1.2 consistently.

because I noticed when I ran a tracert the results "ping ponged" results for server1

i.e.

> tracert server1

Tracing route to server1 [192.168.1.2]

....etc...

> tracert server1

Tracing route to server1 [192.168.1.2]

....etc...

> tracert server1

Tracing route to server1 [192.168.1.74]

....etc...
