Help with Windows 2k Server DNS.
Can anyone help me with the steps how to set up my DNS? I have a windows 2k dedicated server. My host gives me a range of IPs (xx.xx.xx.20 to xx.xx.xx.29) Here are the things I've done so far:
Registrar:
I've registered a domain name mysite.com. Don't know what to enter in the 2 fields for name servers yet.
IIS:
I've setup a webserver called 'mysite'
I've assigned the IP: xx.xx.xx.20, TCP Port: 80, Host Head Name: www.mysite.com and the default webpage is index.html
I tested the webserver by typing www.mysite.com url in ie and it points to my index.html file fine.
DNS:
I've set up a dns called 'mysite.com'. The hierchy is like this: DNS>SERVER1>Forward Lookup Zone> mysite.com
It created 2 files for mysite.com, an SOA file and a Name Server file)
SOA looks like this: [1], server1., admin.
Name Server looks like this: server1.
I then created a new Host and typed in www and typed in the IP xx.xx.xx.20
OK, I am stuck right here. I don't know that to do next to create 2 name servers (ns1.mysite.com and ns2.mysite.com) to enter in my registar's name server.
Can anybody help me out by showing me the right steps? Thanks.
