Hi all,

I am Jacob from Sri Lanka here again,
It looks like I need a bit more help from you.

Thanks for your replies
Jacob


You might remember my setup, but if not

-------------- my box ------------Internet---------------endless
              at my isp
                 |

                ppp

                 |

               my box    ------   Win95 dialup  ----- Windows  
               at home                                Machine
            col7.metta.lk
             172.16.1.1


I am struggling with the DNS 
follwed the DNS-HOWTO and everything went fine.
I can do all the examples in the HOWTO (very fine Howto)
No email to send even a thanks (I can understand why)

My linux at home is set up with default web pages
Win95 should be able to browse them, but !
I can dialup with Win95 into the linux box (now with RH6 and bind-8-2)
I can ping by IP but not by name
I can surf my linux box by IP but not by name.
I can telnet by IP but not by name.

I get no errors in the log file when trying to ping by name.
where should I look for the error messages of named ?

Below are some of my tests on the linux box at home

[root@narada /etc]# nslookup col7.metta.lk
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Name:    col7.metta.lk
Address:  172.16.1.1

[root@narada /etc]# nslookup 172.16.1.1
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Name:    col7.metta.lk
Address:  172.16.1.1
