HI I am trying to test my DNS ( bind- dlz ) server ( 192.168.03.244) from a remote windows client ( 192.168.0.209 ) . I have a domain called sample.com . The hostname of my r DNS server is testserver.com .
When i do a nslookup on the server for sample.com it returns me the following : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# nslookup sample.com Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Name: sample.com Address: 192.168.0.244 when i do a nslookup for 192.168.0.244 i get the following on my DNS server [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# nslookup 192.168.0.244 Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 244.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa name = ns1.testserver.com. but wheni try to do a nslookup for 192.168.0.244 on my windows client i get the following i can how ever ping to 192.168.0.244 C:\Documents and Settings\Admin>nslookup ns1.testserver.com *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.244: No response from server *** Default servers are not available Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.0.244 *** UnKnown can't find ns1.testserver.com: No response from server On my DNS server using the command "elinks" i can view the webpage for sample.com hosted on another remote machine.
