BIND 8.2.5 for Win2K fails to start

[Danny Mayer]

The usual reason for this particular error to occur is that named couldn't find
named.conf.  To be sure you can run named directly from the DOS prompt
by cd'ing to c:\winnt\system32\dns\bin and running named as follows:

named -f -d2

I will then spit out all the logging to the DOS window.  Make sure that you
increase the window buffer to say 2000 lines so that you can scroll back.
Note: named.conf should be in c:\winnt\system32\dns\etc\ in your case.
If it's not move it into there. Make sure it's really named named.conf.
