Greetings!
After browsing a WHOLE lot of websites I turn to you for help. The community here has been great. But, if know of a linux forum that I Should seeking more detail then please refer me.
Here is my problem. I am student in a Masters program. I had the ability to choose what kind of hands on project I want to do. SO i picked a DNS and Mail server which will be all ran on one machine. I am just trying to make DNS work internally. I am not worried about getting it registered and all that jazz.
I installed Red Hat 8. Bind version 9.2.1 I believe. I added a zone to the named.conf file. Took the file that was already there and added that zone along with of course creating the db file in the var/named directory.
I can dig. I can do reverse lookups all on the local machine. Seems to work fine.
So on my windowsxp machine I change the dns server to the Internal IP of the DNS server. (Just a LAN I am working on)
I pull up dos prompt. Try nslookup to see if I can bring up the name server and possibly ping the domain name.

C:\Documents and Settings\Amy>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.101: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.101
My host name for the server is buck1.gotawayranch.com
(I couldn't think of what to call it)
When I log in I see buck1
A weird thing about it is..well maybe not for you. If I dig the domain or list everything associated blah blah I get everything listed with the authorative as buck1.gotawayranch.com
Now if I type in dnsdomainname I get
dnsdomainname: Unknown host
I am missing the link here I guess. Please give me some ideas.I will pull out the rest of the hair I have left!
