TCP IP Settings on W2K Server

[Guest damienm]

Probably very basic I know, but have not encountered it before.

 

I have 2 W2K Servers running AD and DNS.

 

In the TCP / IP static settings do I need to put anything in the DNS

Primary and Secondary or leave it empty. If I leave it empty will they

default to themselves for DNS?

 

Currently they have their own IP's as primary and the secondary is

pointing other DC. We are having policy & replication problems and I am

curious as to whether or not these settings would have any impact.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Damien
