windows 2000 client cannot lookup linux DNS
 

hello,

i configured redhat 8 as DNS server, web server and mail server.
my DNS server is working fine, when i resolve form host name to IP on linux server.

but when i try to reslove(lookup) from windows 2000 workstation which is joined to linux domain, i cannot reslolve.

but i can ping the linux server from windows.

please let me know what is the problem.

thank you,

DNS server? do u mean named (BIND)? what do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/named status" and "cat /etc/resolv.conf" show in linux box, and "ipconfig /all" in M$ 2k client?

Is the DNS server for looking up any internet address eg yahoo.com, or for providing DNS for your-domain-name.com ?

What does ipconfig /all on the windows box show? Is it set to use the linux box as a dns server?
