Forward Lookup Zone and Reverse Lookup Zone.

If the Wizard does not auto-start, right-click your server name object in the DNS

same as the suffix for all of the network computers that are to
register with this DNS server. Type the name of the zone, and then
click Next.

should match the Network ID of your local subnet. For example, if
your subnet range is from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254, type
192.168.0 in the name value.
