Bind and Windows XP problem

[WIWA]

Hi all,

I don't know if this is the right place to post my question. It
concerns a mixture of Bind, Redhat8 and Windows XP.

On a Redhat Linux machine I have installed Bind 9. This machine is
called thorgal.wauters-mannaert.be (on 10.0.0.8 in my local network).
On this machine, everything is working. That means when I do nslookup,
I get back the IP address for this device as well as for all the
connected clients. I get

[root at localhost root]# nslookup
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup
with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.

[root at localhost root]# ping ogotai.wauters-mannaert.be

However, when I go to my client, which is called
ogotai.wauters-mannaert.be, it does not work. When I go to nslookup
and type ogotai.wauters-mannaert.be, it gives: "Cannot find server
name for 10.0.0.8: no response from server". I can ping from this
machine to Thorgal using the IP-address, but not using the FQDN, which
is strange, since it is resolving correctly on the DNS server. I
configured my Windows XP client to look at 10.0.0.8 which is my Linux
DNS server.

Also, both Linux PC and Windows XP machine are connected to a router
and can ping one another using IP addresses.

1) Does anyone know why I cannot ping from my Windows XP machine to
the Linux machine using the FQDN?
2) Why is nslookup not working at the Windows client PC?


If anyone know an answer it wioll be greatly appreciated. If this is
not the correct group, please forward me to another group/

Thanks in advance,

Wim
