hi i had just configured DNS in my linux server, is it possible to add windows xp pc to that linux domain.


if possible what should be done at the windows side.

Thanks in advance,
Dines.

I'm afraid we need a bit more information. You configured a DNS on your server, great, that can be a tricky part, tried that and was banging my head against the wall for some time... ...but got it working, well, the headache was because I was trying to cluster 2 servers. Anyway... what I don't understand in your question is what you mean by adding the windoze machine? Did you setup a domain? Is your Linux server a domain controller? If so then you must be using SAMBA and that can handle Windoze, there are some howto's on the web for that. If you're just talking about putting the windoze pc's ip in the DNS than that's not a problem. If it's a static IP then it's just added in the config. If it's DHCP than I guess there's a way of letting the Linux server automatically add the IP in DNS (if the Linux server is also the DHCP server).
Please respond to this if you need more info or you solve your problem. It's always interesting to see other peoples solutions, you never know when that can help you.

hi,

Thank you very much for your reply.my problem is simple but it had been solved.i just wanted to view a web page created in local linux server from windows pc. For that i have added the linux server's ipaddress at the preferred dns server column of widows pc.Now the windows pc can able to access the local linux server's web page.

thanks&regards,
