DNS Forwarding Not Working

[Guest]

DNS forwarding works intermittently. No email. No internet. ISP said it is not them. Setup each wkstn with DNS info bypassing DHCP server. XP machines boot slow, but mail and internet now working. What could it be??

If you are in a AD domain environment the XP machines should point to the
DNS server with the AD srv records. If you point them to the ISPs DNS server
they will boot slowly.
Concerning the DNS forwarding issue, have you tested forwarding to a
different DNS server? Can your DNS server resolve names even during the
times the clients cannot?
