Freaky DNS in Windows 2000 Server

I am running a Windows 2000 server on a small school. The server is a
Windows 2000 domain controller for the domain "*****" I have about 25
pc's connected , mostly Windows 98 machines . I have installed DNS on the
server (since its a domain controller)

The Server has a ADSL modem hooked up from its USB port and a Network
card that connects the hub with the clients.
I set the Adsl connection on the server for 'internet connection
sharing' so my clients can connect to the internet.

However when i look into my event log (dns section) i get the following
error.




I get a lot of errors in the Event log regarding DNS Errors.

Are these errors something i have to be concerned about ?


Here are the transcripts of the error log.


Event Type: Error
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 6702
Date: 24/06/2003
Time: 13:36:06
User: N/A
Computer: SIBBOSER
Description:
DNS Server has updated its own host (A) records. In order to insure that
its DS-integrated peer DNS servers are able to replicate with this
server, an attempt was made to update them with the new records through
dynamic update. An error was encountered during this update, the record
data is the error code.

If this DNS server does not have any DS-integrated peers, then this error
should be ignored.

If this DNS server's ActiveDirectory replication partners do not have the
correct IP address(es) for this server, they will be unable to replicate
with it.

To insure proper replication:
1) Find this server's ActiveDirectory replication partners that run the
DNS server.
2) Open DnsManager and connect in turn to each of the replication
partners.
3) On each server, check the host (A record) registration for THIS
server.
4) Delete any A records that do NOT correspond to IP addresses of this
server.
5) If there are no A records for this server, add at least one A record
corresponding to an address on this server, that the replication partner
can contact. (In other words, if there multiple IP addresses for this
DNS server, add at least one that is on the same network as the
ActiveDirectory DNS server you are updating.)
6) Note, that is not necessary to update EVERY replication partner. It
is only necessary that the records are fixed up on enough replication
partners so that every server that replicates with this server will
receive (through replication) the new data.
Data:
0000: 2a 23 00 00



This is another error

You would solve most of your problems if you used a router.
