DNS config via Yast - Issues


I have installed BIND and in YaST I have an option of DNS Server under network services.

I have been through the wizard, configured forwarders etc, but whenever I do nslookup in Windows I get:

*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.98: Query refused
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.98

How can I change this? Why is the default server "UnKnown"?

I can look up A records that I specify but if I try to look up say Google I get:

> google.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.98

*** UnKnown can't find google.com: Query refused

Firewall port has been opened (and I have tried stopping it entirely)

Any help appreciated

Many thanks

PS - This is open suse 11.1 on PowerPC (IBM POWER)

sounds like your forwarder is wrong. Can you lookup google.com on the dns server?
