6702 all by myself

[George Hester]

I am getting this is the Event Log under DNS:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 6702
Date: 12/29/2004
Time: 3:06:08 PM
User: N/A
Computer: HESTER
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: 7c 26 00 00 |&..

HESTER is the only DNS Server in the Network. There is a Windows 2000 Server (no AD) that uses this server as its DNS provider. According to this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;842006

and the above I may be able to disregard this error. But is there some way to not only disregard it but have it stop? Thanks.

George, does this machine have two NICs in it?

If so, on the outside NIC, disable F&P, MS Client and NetBIOS. Move the
internal NIC to the top of the binding order in Network Connections -
Advanced Settings/Advanced, and in DNS properties, tell it to only listen to
the internal IP.

If you are using your ISP's DNS, remove them too and only point to the
internal NIC on both NICs and configure a forwarder..

Hi Ace. Yes the system that is the DNS Server (HESTER) does have two NIC cards. In light of that I
have to digest what you said. I am going to assume you mean by "outside NIC" the NIC that is
connected to the outside (ie the Internet). So I will disable everything but TCP\IP on that one? Then on
the internal NIC (there is no DHCP server on HESTER) have TCP\IP, MSClient and FS? Move that
to the Top of the Binding Order? The "internal IP" is the IP that is assigned by my Router to the
"outside NIC" or what? Or the one that is assigned by my DHCP Warning on startup in the Event
Viewer for the "internal NIC?"

"If you are using your ISP's DNS, remove them too and only point to the internal NIC on both NICs
and configure a forwarder.."

This one I'm not too sure what's going on here. My "outside NIC" is assigned HESTER's IP which is
gotton from the Router and bothe the Router and HESTER and all other machines in the Network uses
HESTER as it's DNS server. I did put a forwarder in the DNS Manager pointing to my ISPs DNS
Server.

Thanks for your help.

That is correct. The NIC that goes to your outside world via your ISP, Cable
modem, Router, etc....

Yes

The inside NIC (assuming this is a DC/DNS, or even running NAT services),
needs to be a static IP. After all, it's the gateway that all the other
machines use, besides it being a DC.

: Move that
: to the Top of the Binding Order?

Yes, the internal NIC.

: The "internal IP" is the IP that is
: assigned by my Router to the
: "outside NIC" or what?

I don't understand this passage. The internal NIC gets a private IP
(assuming your running NAT). The internal NIC needs to be a static IP.

: Or the one that is assigned by my DHCP

Not for the internal NIC. The outer NIC may get a DHCP address from the
router or the ISP, but not the internal one.

: Warning on startup in the Event
: Viewer for the "internal NIC?"

What error??

That part is fine.

The only trouble I see here is that the Internal NIC is not attached to the Router (NAT) in any way. The
DHCP Warning I mentioned is what appears in the Event Viewer for the Internal Nic. That it has been
assigned a IP address which is:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Dhcp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1007

Description:
Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the Network Card with network address 004F49097584. The IP address being used is 169.254.162.204.

That is the internal NIC. I don'r have that set to an IP address for without it hooked to the Router what
good would it be. I could make it 10.10.10.0 if I wanted. Ace note the Network is not really set up
entirely correct at the moment because I am still learning how to do this right. Thanks for your help.

George, the internal NIC will need to be assigned a static IP for your
subnet. That is the IP that will go into your client's gateway address in
their IP properties. I understand the external NIC is DHCP, getting it from
the cable modem, but the internal would need to be static. Choose a subnet,
such as 192.168.5.0/24 (255.255.255.0), and make the internal NIC
192.168.5.1. No gateway address will be on the internal NIC, the external
NIC will have a gateway assigned by DHCP from the modem/provider. If there's
a gateway on the internal NIC, the machine won't communicate to the outside
world.
