Re: [analog-help] qdns.exe produces bad DNS file
Just for completeness, I brought a copy of qdns.exe home, and tried it on my XP machine, and it did work, so whatever caused it not to work for you isn't necessarily a problem with the OS. Thanks Aengus! Your message prompted me to re-try with as simple a setup as possible. This time qdns worked. I don't feel like exploring what made it mess up before but it may have been my attempt to use separate directories. I generally try to keep MY files (produced by me), e.g. config files, separate from app files. Actually, it's surprising ANALOG itself doesn't really make this possible. Anyway, after my simplifications, qdns seems to be working for me.

Re: [analog-help] qdns.exe produces bad DNS file
I'm sorry -- I didn't read the documentation carefully enough. (I was misled by the mandatory configuration file.) I see now I can specify \MYDIR\analog.cfg via: analog -G +g\MYDIR\analog.cfg Thanks Stephen!

I run it on Win2K, and I always had to explicitly specify the DNS server, even though the documentation doesn't say that. I think that the application probably relies on some OS specific functionality. As it predates Windows XP, it wouldn't surprise me that it mightn't work on XP. Perhaps Stephen can add that to the helper page documenation. I chose qdns simply because it's the first Windows app at http://www.analog.cx/helpers/index.html#dns. Are the apps there evaluated somewhere? No. ReportMagic is the only helper app that is widely used, and has it's own mailing list. QuickDNS used to be the only DNS helper for Windows (as far as I can remember - most of the DNS tools were originally written for Unix) but as someone else pointed out rdnslogs has been ported to Windows and works well. DNS lookups aren't a major issue for many Analog users, so the issue doesn't come up on the mailing list very often.

Am I supposed to specify a DNS server using /Y? I didn't expect to since Analog doesn't require it and I didn't see such a requirement in the qdns doc. QuickDNS is a bit funky - I've always had to specify a DNS server, but other people seem to have used it without specifying one. As far as I know, the writer of QuickDNS has never contributed to this list, and I doubt if he will see your question here to answer it. If so, where is there a DNS server I can use? Use the DNS server that your use for everything else. Run IPCONFIG /ALL to see what your DNS server address is.

Re: [analog-help] qdns.exe produces bad DNS file

Re: [analog-help] qdns.exe produces bad DNS file
I always find rdnslogs works now. Before 3.50 the DNS routines wouldn't resolve anything other than NetBIOS names on my setup. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 09/08/2004 at 20:07 Aengus wrote: On Monday, August 09, 2004 7:09 PM [GMT], Uriel Wittenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Aengus, Thanks for the reply!
