Can not resolve names in DNS

[Guest]

I can not resolve host names in my to my other domain tree. If I ping testdomain.com, i do recieve a reply, but if a ping a particular machine I get Destenation Net Unreachable. example... I try to ping machine.testdomain.com
I have a DNS server installed as root there. What is going on?

Try pinging the IP address of the machine with the -a switc
ping -a www.xxx.yyy.zz
---------------------------
Example
C:\>ping -a 192.168.144.12

Pinging austintest.corp.microsoft.com [192.168.144.120] with 32 bytes of data

Reply from 192.168.144.120: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=6

That does not sound like a dns problem but a network access problem. Try pinging by
an IP address instead of name and see if you get the same result. If the domain is on
another network check your default gateway settings and try tracert instead of ping
to see if it shows more information. Nslookup would be a better utility to determine
if it was a dns problem. --- Steve
