DNS Problems

I keep getting this message every 15 minutes in DNS Server section of the
Event Viewer in Windows Server 2000:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5504
Date: 10/26/2004
Time: 12:16:46 AM
User: N/A
Computer:
Description:
The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name in a packet from
198.41.0.4. The packet is rejected.

We have a domain controller "a" on server "a" and a child domain "b" on
server "b". Right now users cannot open files from either server in either
direction and there are no security restrictions (bad idea) to prevent them.

I know there has to be a dns issue, but I can't figure it out. This just
started happening out of the blue.

Any suggestions?

I am also getting this error:

198.41.0.4 is not any of our IP addresses. We have a total of 4 servers.
The domain controller server is at location "a" and it's child domain is on
server "b" 2 miles away. We are using a wireless 45MB connection between the
2 offices; therefore it is as if they are locally connected.

Server "b" and server "c" are at location "b". When I go under DNS on
server "b" and click on server "b", domain "c" has an error that says "Zone
not loaded by DNS Server" and I cannot fix this. The associated error for
this in the event viewer is as follows:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5719
Date: 10/26/2004
Time: 3:07:43 PM
User: N/A
Computer: SERVERB
Description:
No Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller is available for domain C.
The following error occurred:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
Data:
0000: 5e 00 00 c0

I don't know if they are related or not. Any help at all would be greatly
appreciated. I've been dealing with this problem for over a week to no avail.

Thanks,
Julie

Julie,

Did your DNS server work before converting the server, or servers to a
child? MS highly recommends that you install DNS server and make sure it
works 100% before promoting your Windows 2000/2003 Server to a PDC or a SDC.
