Linux DNS unreachable from Windows machine
I have Installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 in VMware.
I have configured DNS using Bind 9.8.2. From Linux machine I am getting internet also ping and nslookup command works. But when I use this server IP(192.168.140.130) on my windows pc as DNS, nslookup command works but ping doesn't work and browser doesn't work. |
If nslookup works on the Windows PC, then the DNS service is responding.
You didn't change the gateway on the Windows PC as well? |
My DNS server is in a virtual machine. And I am using internet through my corporate network. I am not sure that virtual DNS server is possible or not.

You have one of two problems: Either the Windows box can't get out on those two services, or you don't have it configured to use the DNS servers on your Linux box.
To test #1, use nslookup from the windows machine, pointing to the Linux machine - format should be Code:
nslookup <some address> <IP address of the Linux box> If you can, then you don't have your Windows box properly configured to use the Linux box as a DNS server. Can't help you with that one - if the builtin help article on DNS (go to Windows help and search for "dns") doesn't explain what to do well enough, you'll have to ask a Windows forum for help. By the way, if you don't get a reply from the Linux box, you're back to your original problem, and were getting DNS answers from whatever DNS servers Windows was using before. |
