Win2000 DNS Server Settings

I. DNS Overview

When a computer communicates on the network, it can only recognize digital addresses such as "192.168.0.48", so why do we open the browser when we open After entering the domain name such as "www.abc.com" in the address bar, you can see the page we need? This is after we enter the domain name, a computer with a "DNS server" automatically translates our domain name into the corresponding IP address, then calls the web page corresponding to that IP address, and finally sends it back to us. We can get the results.

DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, a computer and network service naming system that organizes domain-wide hierarchies. DNS naming is used for TCP/IP networks, such as the Internet, to locate computers and services with user-friendly names. When a user enters a DNS name in an application, the DNS service can resolve this name to other information related to the name, such as an IP address.

So, we want our domain name on our internal network to be successfully parsed (ie translated into an IP address), we need to build our own 2K machine into a DNS server, which contains our domain name. A mapping table between the IP address and the IP address. This usually requires the establishment of an A record, which is short for Address, meaning "host record" or "host address record", which is the most common of all DNS records.

Second, DNS settings

1, open the DNS console: select "Start Menu → Programs → Administrative Tools → DNS."

2. Create a host record with the domain name "admin.abc.com" mapped to the IP address "192.168.0.50".

1Create a “com” area: Select “DNS→WY (your server name)→forward search area→right click→new area”, then select “standard main area” and “name” according to the prompts. Enter "com".

2Create "abc" field: Select "com→right click→new domain" and enter "abc" in "type new domain name".

3Create an "admin" host. Select “abc→right click→new host”, “name” is “admin”, “IP address” is entered as “192.168.0.50”, then press “Add host”.

3. Create a host record with the domain name "www.abc.com" mapping the IP address "192.168.0.48".

1Because the domain name "www.abc.com" and the domain name "admin.abc.com" are both in the same "area" and "domain", they have been established in the previous step, so they should be used directly. , just add the corresponding "hostname" in the "domain".

2Create “www” host: Select “abc→right click→create new host”, enter “www” in “name”, enter “192.168.0.48” in “IP address”, and then “add host” "Yes.

4. The host record method for creating the domain name "ftp.abc.com" mapping IP address "192.168.0.49" is the same as above.

5. The host record method for creating the domain name "abc.com" mapping IP address "192.168.0.48" is the same as above, except that the "name" item must be kept empty! Once created, its "name" will display "same as the parent folder".

6. Create more host records or other various recording methods.

7. At the time of establishment, it is also possible to use "abc.com" as the "region" and then directly establish the "host" under it. However, this method is inconvenient when there are many similar records.

III. Verification after DNS setup

In order to test whether the settings made are successful, it is usually done by using the 2K "ping" command.
