DNS server pointing to MobilMe ip address

I have a site that I have built with iWeb posed to my MobileMe. I have since purchased a domain name. I need to know how to find my MobileMe web sites ip address so the the DNS server can pint to my site. How can I find my sites ip address?

You don't need any ip address at all.
To forward your new domain name to your website, you firstly need to enter your domain name into the personal domain name section of your MobileMe account.
After you have done this, go to the DNS settings at your domain name registrar and cancel the settings that are there and set up a new CNAME forward to that your domain name forwards to web.me.com.
Should be something like @ (this stands for your domain name) , CNAME, web.me.com and www (this stands for your sub-domain name), CNAME, web.me.com.
This is all you need - no ip addresses or anything like this - simply web.me.com and that is it.

DNS Host pointing to an IP address of a host added to the domain

Hello
I have a server already joined to the domain, I need to migrate a file server, I want this file server host name to point to the actual server that is already joined to the domain. For some reason my company decided to create a host instead of using a DNS
Alias (CNAME),
Look like it is working fine, I can connect to the shares.
ServerA -> File server to migrate
ServerB -> Server to host the ServerA shares
But on some cases looks like authentication is failing for some applications,
Do you know if there is a Kerberos limitation? I am not sure if I should set a spn

Hi,
Could you share the error message with us?
I don’t think DNS CNAME record cause the problem as long as you have configured it properly.
In the meantime, you can do some troubleshoot the issue according to the articles.

GSS as primary DNS Server for Intranet

Hi,
Can the GSS be used as a as primary DNS server for Intranet? An additional DNS server can be configured to answer the unknown Records like MX by GSS.
if it can be configured, I would be thankful if anyone shares with me the brief configuration steps Apart from configuring Answers, answer groups, domain lists, source address lists, DNS rules.
with thanks

Yeah I'd certainly recommend against it! So essentially the client machines are unable to update or query dynamic AD related DNS records since they're not pointing to the DNS servers actually used by your AD server(s). I could well imagine that causing
issues, and meaning that some AD functionality won't work correctly.
I know you can directly integrate BIND with AD, eg so that the BIND servers are the ones used by AD, though I haven't tried it, but this seems to be neither.
I can't find any articles relating to your exact situation, presumably no one else has tried to use such a mixed and disjoined setup. I'd focus on looking for articles relating to why you shouldn't point your users at a router (most commonly in small setups
on ADSL) for the DNS rather than directing them to the server for DNS and then having that query the router for external results. It's a more common scenario and you're more likely to find articles relating to it.
One article you might find useful is
http://msmvps.com/blogs/acefekay/archive/2009/08/17/ad-and-its-reliance-on-dns.aspx which talks in terms of using your ISP's DNS servers on the client machines, but in your situation it sounds like the BIND servers are essentially providing an equivalent
setup.
There's also various discussions and comments on the topic elsewhere on these forums, for instance

Question about changing the IP of a Windows DC, that is also acting as a DNS server?

I have two subnets (network A, network B) located within the same single Windows domain site.
Each site has two DCs, which each are running AD-integrated DNS.
I need to move one server from network B, into network A. If I change the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway and DNS entries on this server, shut it down, and then bring it back up on network A, should the server automatically register itself
in DNS under its new IP address, and behaving like a normal domain controller in the new subnet? Or will I need to perform an ipconfig /registerdns on the domain controller once it comes back up in network A, in order for it to be seen as a domain controller/DNS
server under its new IP address?

If you change the IP of the DC, the command isn't going to be a IPCconfig/RegisterDNS.
DC's register their essential records when the NETLOGON service starts, so restart that.

Externally Hosted DNS - How do I set up my 2003 DNS server for sub domain to point to internal IP address??

I have a domain name(domain.com) DNS hosted at my ISP. I also have 3 sub domains DNS hosted at the same ISP pointing to various external ip addresses (mail.domain.com, vpn.domain.com and ts.domain.com). We want to set up sales.domain.com to point to an
internal 10. IP address. We have AD integrated DNS servers for our 2003 AD domain. The AD domain name is totally different than the hosted domain name in question. I currently edit the host file for a couple of PC's but this isnt practical company wide so
I want to add entries on our internal AD DNS servers to resolve the locally hosted site. If i recall, someone once told me that you cannot just put an A record for one sub domain, I would have to have entries on my 2003 DNS server to resolve anything related
to the domain.com name. Is this accurate? If so, what is the proper way to configure my 2003 AD DNS server to resolve anything domain.com related for my internal users while still allowing my ISP to do the DNS lookup for the internet.

On my 2003 AD integrated DNS server...i rightclick forward lookup zone and choose...new zone..primary zone (store zone in AD checkbox checked)..i chose to all DNS servers in the AD domain for replication...zone name sales.domain.com....allow secure updates
option....then i added an A record in that zone...sales.domain.com..pointed that towards my internal 10. IP address...is this correct? It seems to be working correctly for the sales.domain.com DNS record...and i tested the other sub domains...and those look
like they are going to my ISP for DNS resolution...
Is this the correct procedure? I did this on a test AD domain and not my production...i want to make sure i dont break everything under the domain.com by incorrectly adding 1 sub domain..

How To Set Up Mountain Lion Server/Point DNS to Mac Mini Server

Hello, First of all I have no experience with setting up servers whatsoever. Below is what I have
- Mac Mini with Mountain Lion Server
- Time Capsule as my router
- Comcast as my service provider
My goal is to set up my MacMini as a sharepoint for files and other data with my other partners.
- I have purchased a domaine name from NetworkSolutions. Does this mean that they are my DNS hosting as well? Not really sure. My biggest question is how to point my DNS to my mac mini server correctly.
1. How do you point the DNS to my mac mini server.
2. I've read somewhere to use the IP address from my mac mini server. The only IP address I see is from my Time Capsule (router). I know what my public IP adress is but I am not sure if that's the one to use. I think once I figure this DNS thing I can figure out the rest.
Thanks - Need lots of help.

Here's a detailed write-up on setting up internal (private) DNS on OS X Server, and no, you're probably not going to be setting up external DNS on your servers. Your public DNS service will be hosted on and served from the Network Solutions DNS servers.

Why does DNS server entry in ipconfig break point-to-point ethernet?

My application uses a panel pc as the user interface for a cRIO controlling a medical device. The panle pc and cRIO communicate using shared variables. During development, both devices (panel pc and cRIO) were on our company network. Curiously, when I connected them point-to-point with a crossover cable, they refused to communicate when running their LabVIEW application code. Pings from the panel pc to cRIO were successful. Much troubleshooting ensued.
Long story short, the fix was to simply delete the DNS server IP entry from both the panel pc and the cRIO ipconfig tables (see attached pic for the WinXP version of this table). If either of them had our company's DNS server IP address fillied in, my LabVIEW application would fail.
This leads me to suspect that there is something in my LabVIEW executables that wants to touch the company network. Apparently, if there is a DNS server entry in the ipconfig table, this something thinks it has a chance to "phone home" and it tries to do so. When this happens on the panel pc end of the crossover cable, the machine acts like it's locked up, but the task manager shows the CPU to be ~98% idle.
If there is no entry for a DNS server, I guess this something realizes that there is no way to "phone home", so it doesn't try and my application works great. Since the application works with no DNS server table entry, I think my crossover cable is working correctly.
Does anyone have any idea what this something might be?

You've hit the nail on the head Ben. For point to point communications, the IP addresses should be fixed, therefore there is no need for DNS. If a DNS is configured, the NIC (Network Interface Card) drivers will try to contact it.
In my test system, I need DNS for the test computer, but I am communicating with a dedicated Spectrum Analyzer over TCP/IP. So I added a second NIC. The main NIC is configured for DNS and all that jazz. The second NIC (plugged into PCI slot) is configured with a hard coded address, no DNS, no Gateway, nothing else. I connect that NIC to the spectrum analyzer using a crossover cable. The analyzer is configured with a hard coded address also. Now my computer can get on our company network, and the spectrum analyzer is isolated from the network, so it can't catch any viruses, etc., and it still talks to the computer. When using a configuration such as this, it is best to use a dedicated address for the 2nd NIC and spectrum analyzer in the range of 192.168.100.0 to 254

2 domain, each with 2 way transitive truts, with sub domains pointing to the same DNS server (how should forward and reserver look zone be configured)

Hello,
I found a test environment and I just trying to understand how it works.
If I have two domains (a.com and b.com) with sub domains(a1.com and b1.com) with two way trust and I want them to point to a Windows DNS server. How should the Forward lookup zones and Reverse lookup zones be configured? In forward lookup
zones do I just add a new zone, make them all primary since only one DNS server, add a.com and b.com and do the same for reverse zones.
Do the sub domains need to be added? What about pointers? Do I add the IP address of a.com and b.com in reverse lookup zones.
A side question: When you create a Domain with dns AD intergrated the forward and reserve lookup are automatically created. You don't need to add the zone of the domain you just created but have to add zones of other domains.

Make each domain controller as a DNS server too. Reverse lookup zones & forwarders are not replicated automatically. You can create AD-Integrated reverse lookup zone & set the replication scope.
You can create AD-Integrated DNS zones in the parent/root domain, set the replication scope to the forest-wide & delegate the zones for handling request locally. Once you create AD-Integrated DNS zone & set the replication scope forest wide, all
the zones will appear automatically in each domain's DNS server.

Delete the DNS delegations pointing to this server

Good morning,
I'm getting ready to decommission my Windows Server 2008 R2 server and replace it with a Windows Server 2012 R2 (completely new hardware). After I decommission my current DC I will reboot it, change its IP address and name and then reboot it again.
I am then going to give the new server the old IP and name of my old DC (so basically the name and IP address of the active DC will not change). I'll then promote this server back into the domain. Since the new DC in the end will have the
same IP and NAME as the old DC, should I uncheck the "Delete the DNS delegations pointing to this server" when I decommission the old DC since the new one would have the same name? Thanks!

You can uncheck it and then promote it. Once done, make sure that the new DC is set under
Name Servers tab in your zones properties.

How do I have a cRIO register its IP address with the DNS server, clearing any previous entries?

I've run into a problem when I try to move a cRIO-9073 from one network segment to another (say 10.1.33.x to 10.1.36.x): The old IP address remains registered on our DNS server, so trying to access the cRIO by its DNS name fails as the DNS server tells my PC to look for the old IP address.
When I search the DNS server from my PC using "NSLOOKUP" with the old IP address, it finds the DNS name of the device. If I repeat the search with the new IP address (MAX finds the device with its new address, but I hate to have users use MAX to find it), it again returns the DNS name, so it appears the DNS name is registered under two IP addresses on our DNS server. I've also repeatedly tried to flush my PC's DNS cache using command "IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS", but it still tries the old IP address. I also see in MAX that the cRIO is using the same DNS server my PC uses.
Our IT people say that I have to tell the device to re-register its DNS name. They told me a command to do it from Windows (command "ipconfig /registerdns"), but obviously this is VxWorks on the cRIO. Is there a command to do this on the cRIO or a setting in the "NI-RT.INI" file I can change? I honestly don't think this is the issue (as it successfully registered the new IP address under its name), but I want to try it if it's possible.
Thanks!
Erik
ps - Our IT dept. won't let me use static IPs unless I get them assigned by both their MAC address AND the network jack they're connected to, so that's out.

Normally this is actually a function of your DNS server. It needs to perform a periodic flush of stale records. You can check the RFC for the DNS protocol and build the necessary packet yourself.

Airport Extreme invalid IP address, no DNS server

Hardware: Motorola SURFboard SB6141, Airport Extreme A1408
I recently set up a new internet service with Cox, plugged in the SB6141 and A1408 and everything set up perfectly, solid green light and wireless was flawless. However, electricity to my house had to be reset, and when the power came back on the green light on the Airport Extreme started to flashing amber. I did several hard/factory resets of the Airport Extreme as well as unplugging the modem and leaving everything unplugged for several minutes and then plugging everything back in. No matter what combination of things I try to do, the Airport Utility always tells me the same 2 errors: invalid IP address and no DNS server. Why was the Airport Extreme able to automatically set up the first time, but not now? Any ideas of what I can do? Thanks!

I have also looked through other threads about this same problem, but none of the solutions (e.g. posts by Tesserax, followed to the letter) so far have worked.
Here are other things I have tried:
1. Called Cox to have them reset my modem, internet works through Ethernet directly from the modem
2. Downgraded AEBS firmware to 7.6.1 (oddly enough, now I cannot for the life of me update the firmware back to 7.6.4, always says cannot connect to update server)
I ran through the various solutions from this thread: "No DNS servers" and "Internet connection" problems with Comcast?
Still getting that pesky blinking amber light.

"Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".

Hi, i am trying to setup back to my mac at home but I get the error "Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".
There is no documentation on how to solve this anywhere.
I have an Arris router set to bridged mode which is connected to a 5th generation airport extreme. I have tried using the google dns servers instead of the one assigned by the cable company in the AE but I still get the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated

New to BTMM, I got stung today with the silly DNS problem message. Solution:
1) Flush DNS cache with:
dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
2)System preferences > iCloud > untick BTMM then tick it again. The warning should have disappeared.
Edit #1
Apologies for the noise. The warning has come back
Edit #2
Just found out that BTMM is not compatible with double NAT. That's not helpful.

Can't delete grayed-out DNS server addresses

I want to replace two grayed-out DNS server addresses from the Network panel (under the DNS tab in "Advanced…"), to replace them with OpenDNS settings. But they can't be selected/deleted. How do I get around this problem?

That is correct - those are provided by your router and can not be deleted - you can add Open DNS servers (click the + sign) or log into the router admin page (I recommend this way) and have your router use the Open DNS servers fro everything on your network (this will change the grayed out ones)

How to prevent changing DNS server address

I work for a public school district. We just purchased our first batch of Win 8.1 PCs, but they are not the Pro version, so there is no gpedit. I want to prevent students from accessing the TCP/IPv4 Properties dialog box in order to ensure that the
DNS server address is always obtained automatically. Can anyone tell me how to do this using regedit, or any other way? Thanks!

Easiest way is to assign these students a standard user account (without admin rights).. They cant change any system setting then.. Other than restricting privileges I don't think you have option here since you don't have group policy editor ..
There could be a possibility to do this using regedit But it is not recommended since there are no any official article for this other than below untested third party article form ehow
http://www.ehow.com/how_8110801_disable-tcpip-properties-regedit.html
Besides it could be tedious.. enabling and disabling it..
