Is it possible to conduct a reliability test to my DNS server to check if it executes correctly and efficiently using a Windows R2 server? Should this process not be suitable, can you please advise me on how I can test if my server is running accordingly?

Hi techyv experts,

When I am opening user files with the news installation of DNS in my Windows 7 computer, an error message pops up which displays that ‘Dictation Disabled’ and the title is ‘Dragon Error’. I have tried by re-installing the DNS and make some changes in registry key, but there was no change in the result.

Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

When I start openDNS, I have faced some problems in browsers. I set this in two or three computers and I am facing the same error with the following computers. The problem is I am unable to check my emails. Most of the drop down menus is not working. I have tried many browsers; I uninstalled and reinstalled JAVA, and reset all the changes in my previous browser. But the problem is still the same.

I am using Cisco Linksys WRT100 Router. I configured it as PPPOE connection through my ISP. When I am done with the tool to establish the reaction of the DNS name services, I want to configure it manually and put it as my top DNS choice. I can set up three static IPs but I was unable to locate the configuration for turning off the automatic DNS name configuration from my provider. I run the cmd then IPCONFIG /all to check all the available connections, the listing for DNS has two DNS Name Services in advance to my three static IPs which I just configured. How can I change that? Please help.

I am wondering whether I can optimize the 2nd subnet such that it is the first subnet to access the IP address from DHCP server when all subnets start simultaneously as I have 8 different networks and a DHCP scope for each subnet .Can this be realized? If it is then please help.

Why is it that when I type a web address in Google Chrome, I get the message that the DNS look up failed?

Same is true when I use Firefox. I use a CAT5e Ethernet cord to be able to connect to the Campus-wide Local Area

Network. 

All seems well as my computer says that there is an internet access and able to recognize the cable plugged to it. 

Hi Expert!

My question is, if it's possible to set up DNS Server and Active Directory Domain with the same name? And which comes first in installing, DNS or Active Directory? Or can I install the Active Directory and run the DNS setup on the background? Help please.

I am trying to learn some basic network troubleshooting and I came across something called DNS.

It was the first time I heard about it so I was wondering what a DNS is?

I've searched it online but can't seem to understand the description.

Can someone explain it in layman's term please?
