then click on the Control Panel.

Domain Name System (DNS) check box if it is not already selected and then click
on OK.

·Click on Start, point to Programs, click on
the Administrative Tools and then click on DNS.

and then click on Configure a DNS Server to start the Configure a DNS Server

lookup zone and after that click on Next. Click on An ISP maintains the zone
and a read-only secondary copy resides on this server.

the zone.

the IP address of a known DNS server.
·Then click on the Next. Click No, it should
