yeah it works!! thanks to you man!!!

You see my router was forwarding ports to ip 192.168.1.60 but last night i switched off my server and this morning when i turned on my server my ip changed to 192.168.1.67 which i didnt know. So all these time my router was forwarding ports to the wrong ip address. Is there anyway that i can make my server just to use a static ip say like 192.168.1.100 instead of it keep changing? thanks!

Cool.
You may mark this thread "Solved" and start a new one for apache if you want to.

I guess it's your router that's assigning IPs using dhcp.
You can read this to see how to assign your server a static IP

Hi,

Now that everything is sorted out, you may also turn recursion off in general, so your dns is not abused by others and allow recursion only for specific hosts networks.
So, in named.conf comment out or remove

Quote:

recursion yes;

and use

Code:

allow-recursion {127.0.0.1;
                            192.168.1/24;
                            2.103.xxx.xxx;
                            };

Regards
