Only 2 PC.
PC A ( Win 2000 Advance Server): 10.0.0.12 <------ DNS INSTALLED and pointing to himself.
PC B ( Win 2000 Professional ) : 10.0.0.13

PC A (DNS server ) is where i did the NSlookup!

And i dun really understand this part
"The reason I ask is your ISP might not have your domain in their registry of domains (and so it points you nowhere"

Additional info, this 2 PC is connected together by a Aztech 4 port router.
IP:10.0.0.2
The reason I asked about your ISP is because if you computer looks to your ISP's DNS servers for name resolution then your ISP might not have your DNS information. (And therefore would not know where to look when you asked it for your personal domain that you created)

Example: You want to go to Yahoo.com.

Your computer does this (in simple terms):

Your computer contacts your ISP's DNS server and asks do you know where yahoo.com is? ISP's DNS server might need to ask another DNS server. Finally you get a responce. And your ISP's dns server tells your computer yahoo.com is at 66.218.71.198.

Anyway... to get back to the problem. So.... if your DNS server is not responding to a nslookup....

When you type "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) at the command line what does it specify for your DNS server?

Also, you did do a Start - Run - "dcpromo" (without quotes) to get DNS working correct?
