10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Quick follow up. I changed the forwarders
that I was using in the named.conf file and domain names seem to be resolving
OK now. But I’m still not getting an answer for my local domain pinging
from the XP workstation. How do I get the linux box to first look at its own
DNS? If I ping <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/">www.mydomain.com</a> from the
workstation I just get ‘could not find host’. If I ping from Linux
box then I get the ip address back for the real registered domain. The zone is
correctly entered in named.conf and the zone file is correctly set up. I’ve
checked them both over twenty times at least. There is obviously some other
setting I’ve missed. Any help?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I just reinstalled Fedora 5 (no GUI, and did a 206 MB yum
update) on a box I use with two NICs for my home network gateway and firewall.
The eth0 NIC is connected to a DSL modem and the eth1 NIC goes to a switch for the
LAN. DHCP is running the FC5 box for the LAN and seems to be working fine. I
use iptables for the firewall and I copied the same set of rules from the
Fedora 3 Bible except for the TCP rules for allowing access to web and ftp
stuff. (I don’t have anything running that needs to be accessed from
outside.) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>DNS, however, is not being very friendly. I can ping ip
addresses but not domains from a command line on an XP box inside the LAN.
Email seems to be coming and going somewhat OK. But websites won’t come
up in the browser. I’m fairly certain the problem is my DNS setup.
nslookup on the XP box returns “can’t find server name for address
192.168.0.1” I can’t get the zone file updates from the W2K3 domain
controller which was working just fine before. I sure I set up the named.conf
and created the zone file for my domain just like before. (I reinstalled in the
first place because the linux box locked up and wouldn’t reboot for
anything. Hardware problem, I expect.) I also had the linux box looking first
at its own DNS before going out to the web so I could browse sites on my
development server on the LAN. My LANs domain name is not a registered name but
exists just for me inside my LAN.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
