I have recently shifted to a ev1 and have my own dedicated server running Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server. I am using Windows DNS server for pointing etc. Everything is working fine, mail server (mail.mysite.com) ftp etc. However I am unable to access my forums. I have my forums hosted with a Invision. They told me to create a host A record for forums point to a specifiied ip and it will work. I have done that but it doesnt work. When I try pinging forums.mysite.com it says could not find host. Will I have to create a sub domain in IIS also. Can anyone please expalin me the procedure in detail? I can also PM my sitename, ip address etc if that helps. As it is 10 days since my forums arent working and soon they may be dropped by google :-(

did you change the serial on the dns zone file?

Err0r, where is the serial for the dns zone file ?
