Re: DNS server problem

[Thomas Joseph]

You have tell  Windows machines about the DNS server IP. It is in 'network configuration' section of windows.   If you use DHCP,  you can declare the DNS server IP in the DHCP configuration and the Windows clients get the DNS server info along with the client IP.   So is the case with gateway, if you want to go outside your LAN.   If you use Win95/98, type in 'winipcfg' at the C:\> and see what it says.   RGDS thomas   ----- Original Message ----- From: Rahul Garg To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 7:33 AM Subject: DNS server problem Well the problem goes like this :   I want my linux machine to act as DNS sever.
