ddns doofus needs help

Fri Sep 19 01:24:11 UTC 2003

Hello,
Somone please help me. I've read everything i think i should have read but
I'm stil tuh stoopid tuh git ddns werking on my RH9.0 Linux box. I've
included below my named and dhcpd config files and their logs in the
/var/messages files. from these logs it seems that dhcpd times out when
trying to update and and named never reports the attempt. I note that in a
named.run file which came in from the ether named reports finding no journal
file.
what kills me is that i had this working before in a slightly different
configuration (of course i've deleted it) but i wanted to make some simple
little changes and now the computer is telling me to get a job at
mccdonalds. just fyi i also included the ipconfig report from the windows
box that's trying to make the ddns update. please let me know what i'm doing
wrong and please email it to me at mev at navresearch.com.

THANKS!!
