building a virtual network

Morrighan · 06-20-2008, 09:04 AM

hi

im trying to build a virtual network with VirtualBox. Im using Ubuntu 8.04 which i hope becomes the server.

can someone tell me what i am doing wrong.

/etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

/etc/bind/named.conf.local

zone "mydomain.example" {
type master;
file "etc/bind/db.mydomain.example";
};

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
notify no;
file "/etc/bind/db.192";
};

i editted some other files as well but since i dont know where the error is i dont know which to post.

i got as far as pinging my domain.

but after i tried dig -x 127.0.0.1 it said it couldnt find a server

plz tell me what info you need to help me

Well you don't have a localhost zone or reverse localhost zone...

What happens if you dig -x int the 192 range?

i got it to work, more or less. but now there is another problem.when i ping my domain i get the loopbackadres as is IP.

i think there is a flaw in my hosts file

can someone have a look?

tnx.

michiel@MICHIEL:~$ ping mydomain.example
PING MICHIEL.mydomain.example (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from MICHIEL.mydomain.example (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.082 ms

/etc/hosts

Can you post your forward and reverse zone configs? They should look something like:

Code:

$TTL 1d
$ORIGIN linux.joseph.
@	1D	IN 	SOA	joseph-svr.linux.joseph.    admin.linux.joseph. (
	2013060403	; serial
	86400		; refresh
	600		; retry
	604800		; expiry
	90000 		; minimum
	)
	IN 	NS	joseph-svr.linux.joseph.

joseph-svr.linux.joseph.	IN 	A	192.168.29.10

I am also not sure as I user openSUSE for my DNS Server, but the conf files should go into /var/lib/named/master directory. Do not use ".example" as a domain, use ".local" or ".name" as your tld. And your host file (/etc/host) should have the loopback in it.

Also, something to consider is that you may need to put your NICs into permissive mode, i.e. something that only root can do. Which means that you have to start VirtualBox with root.
