Guest Gib Sandwich Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Hi everyone, I have a Mandrake 10.0 machine with BIND installed. I have followed the DNS how to located at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWT...f/DNS-HOWTO.pdf and found it very useful. I have performed the dig -x 127.0.0.1 command and get everything as the how to says I need. But when I run nslookup on the Windows clients : DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.250: Timed out DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.251: Timed out DNS request timed out. Default Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.1.250 What have I done wrong? Please help. Regards, Dane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I can't get any info on those IPs myself. Are you going through a router? Is yout IP static or dynamic? Open a consol and check your IP address. ifconfig Or check your IP here: http://whatismyip.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gib Sandwich Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 It is just the server and a workstation on a LAN Server has static IP and workstation has DHCP assigned address (with DNS server info provided) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gib Sandwich Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 192.168.1.250 is the IP address of the Linux machine that I have DNS running on. I am trying to run nslookup on my Windows XP client and I get ; *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.250: No response from server DNS request timed out. I have the default config for named that has the root zone and the 127.0.0 which has the reverse zone already entered (as per default) I also selected "mandrake.coastal.com.au" as my machines full domain name as thats how I wanted it set up when I got DNS going I tried reading the DNS HOW-TO but couldn't get my head around it. I have been using webmin to do what I have done so far and I find that a lot more practical than manually modifying configs I am very new to Linux but I am doing a course in networking at university so I know the basics just can't understand how to apply them to this.
