I have a single Win2K SP4 computer ("servername") acting as:
- domain controller
- DNS server
- WINS server
- RRAS server (routing between PPPoE Internet connection and inside LAN
connection and VPNs)
- software-based firewall
- VPN server (using RRAS PPTP interface)
The inside ethernet connection has a static IP of 192.168.0.1. The internal
interface on the RRAS service gets an address 192.168.0.51 from a pool
defined in RRAS for use with VPN.
I want to be able to reference (e.g., ping computername) all my computers on
the inside network without fully qualifying them with domain names (e.g.,
ping computername.domain.suffix).
My problem is that the internal interface created the RRAS service is
registering itself somewhere as "servername" so that when I try to connect to
"servername" it resolves to the RRAS internal interface instead of the static
IP address for the inside LAN interface.
I found KB article 289735 which describes my problem, but I'm not sure
specifically how to safely enter the IP
address(es) value(s) I need to enter the registry as quoted below:
....
2. Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Parameters
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry
value:
Value name: PublishAddresses
Data type: REG_SZ
Range: IP address
Default value: blank
....
What "range" should I enter?
