[Brenda Buttrick]

To check if zone transfers is allowed on a W2k DNS Server:
        on the W2k DNS server--> right click on zone and select properties
                                     In the properties display:
                                        click on zones transfer tab
                                        check if the "allow zone 
transfers" is checked 
                                        verify slave servers for the zone 
is the server list or 
                                            if "Only to servers listed on 
the Name Servers tab" is checked, 
                                            verify your slave server is 
listed under the "Name Servers" tab
