DNS Server/Internet Issues

[techspec]

Hello folks,

Looking for a little light on a problem that has me stumped.

We have a Server 2003 DNS server thats been setup for a while and it is on the same server of the DC. We've recently made some changes to our firewall structure and now the DNS server cannot access the internet. So here are the questions. The server is behind a router/firewall. Should I set the DNS forwarders to the IP address of the of the router/firewall or should I forward them directly to the DNS servers from the ISP?

Also, what should I set the IP settings of the server itself to? Gateway is router's IP address, but should the DNS be the server's own IP address? Should I leave it blank?

If there's no clear answer here I can go into more detail...

Thanks

This is not what this forum is for.

No need to go into more detail. This forum is for people using DirectAdmin to host websites, not for users of MS Windows software.

But I'll respond anyway. You need port 53 open bidirectionally for both TCP/IP and UDP. Only your network manager can tell you your network settings, including your gateway setting; it all depends on your network.
