Hello I been workig on hosting my site on my server and i have set up my IIS with my website and i have the ip for it and it worked on my network but when others tried it did not work and i have all the permissions and everything set right they would jsut get timed out but not us on the network. Soo i cancled the fowarding and tried setting up my DNS so i can have Nameserver to enter on my domain host PNS1.Mydomain.com
PNS2.Mydomain.com

Problem is I have no idea how to setup my nameserver correctly so i can enter these on my domain host. Is anyone able to help me out here it would be greatly apreciated

Firstly have you got an external IP address for the machine?

If so can it be pinged by the outside world?

If not get you IP address sorted so it can be pinged by the outside world.

Once this has been done set the DNS NS records for the domain to be ns1.example.com nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is your IP address visible from the outside world.

Set up www.example.com DNS record on your machine. If you can ping www.example.com your DNS is working fine. If not the problem is in your DNS server.

Let us know where your system falls over and we can probably give you more information.

I found a whole bunch of useful information on-you'll never believe this-Microsoft's site. One of several books available for download includes a chapter on setting up DNS on 2k3. I don't think I can link to it here, but on Micorsoft's site at windowsserver2003/techinfo/reskit/deploykit.mspx you will find all the info you could ever want. I would download them if you can-who know how long they'll be there (for free, at least.)

probably a good long time.

they published every chapter of the 2K resource
kit and just left it there.
