DNS/BIND question

[Lucas Peet]

Oh, I didn't even think about that...I'll try that straight away, and let you know how it goes.

I had the same problem.  I'm running Redhat 7.2, pretty much out of the box.  I had to turn off the 
iptables service before it would answer DNS queries.  I never configured iptables (must of been 
part of the server install) but turning it off fixed my problem.

Ok, so I have this other machine connected (directly) to my server.  Wks - 10.0.0.2, Svr - 
10.0.0.1.  I have Svr as the default gateway, squid is running, so I can access the web.  I access 
the mail server by pointing to 10.0.0.1 as well.  Only thing is I don't have any DNS.  Since I'm 
not using IP Masq or anything, I need my DNS server (which works fine on the local server) to be 
accessable to Wks.

### FROM LOCAL SVR ###

[root at riodo root]# nslookup

[root at riodo root]#
### END LOCAL SVR ###

### FROM WKS ###

C:>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.1: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server:  UnKnown
Address:  10.0.0.1

> lucastek.com
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  10.0.0.1

*** UnKnown can't find lucastek.com: No response from server
> slashdot.org
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  10.0.0.1

*** UnKnown can't find slashdot.org: No response from server

### END WKS ###

So I want Wks to use Svr for it's DNS server, and it says it's not responding.  DNS *IS* listening 
on that interface.

Any ideas?
