what happens if you do

Code:

nslookup google.com

in a terminal from the clients?

Did you allowed your network to use the nameserver?
Edit or add the following in /etc/bind/named.conf

Code:

allow-query { SomeIP ; 127.0.0.1; };

127.0.0.1 allows queries from your localhost. By adding 192.168.0.0/24, you will allow other machines on your local netwerk to use your local DNS-server.

restart bind

Kind regards

You need a zone file for your internal network. Right now bind is only running on loopback.

from another machine,nslookup gives me:

Query refused.
