DNS problem

[rodney]

Our internal DNS domain.com is the same as our external
name, domain.com. When we goto our external website, we
must include the WWW as setup in DNS to go out to the
internet.

How can I make the domain.com (without the WWW) resolve
out to the internet also?

Add a record named www in your internal DNS zone and give it the IP of your
external web site.

While I know that this below is what I need to do, I have
no clue how to do it? Can you explain further?

I do know how to open and navigate the Registry and
finding the correct key, but after that I'm lost.

Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlog
on\Parameters

Registry value: DnsAvoidRegisterRecords
Data type: REG_MULTI_SZ
Value: LdapIpAddress

If you use regedt32 it is a pretty simple and straight forward process, you
just navigate to the the registry above then click edit, new Value, type in
DnsAvoidRegisterRecords in the Value field, then choose REG_MULTI_SZ as the
type, when you click OK it will bring up the Data field and type
LdapIpAddress, click OK and your done. Then you can delete the (same as
parent folder) records with the private addresses and add one for the public
address you need.

Rodney, if Kevin's step by step doesn't help, re-read this article and it
explains how to do it. Just look for that specific section towards the
bottom. The article ALSO has a link on how to modify the Windows Registry
and may suggest to do that so you know exactly what you're doing.

Please read this aboutthat specific entry:
