NSLOOKUP not finding server

[Dave]

After months of failing to get this working. Within 10 minutes of joining
this list i have found the solution!

 

I needed to enable port 53 tcp AND UDP! 

 

Sorry to waste anyone's time.

 

Regards

Hi,

 

I'm hoping someone can point out where I'm going wrong as i seem to be going
round in circles!

 

I am trying to create a DNS server for my office network.  I have created a
smb domain (mydomain.now) which i am able to join from my windows pc's but
only while the old windows DNS server is still running (domain =
mydomain.int).  As soon as i shut down the windows domain controller and
force the pc's to use the new DNS server an NS lookup fails and i can't
access the internet etc from the PC's.

 

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>nslookup

DNS request timed out.

    timeout was 2 seconds.

*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.80: Timed out

*** Default servers are not available

Default Server:  UnKnown

Address:  192.168.1.80  

 

I have the following hardware:

ADSL router facing the outside world (XX.194.XX.194 external, 192.168.1.254
internal)

 

Server "myserver" running CENTOS (192.168.1.80)

 

Internal windows PC's (192.168.1.XXX)

 

 

And the following files:

 

/etc/resolv.conf

domain mydomain.now

search mydomain.now

 

 

/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

options {

 

directory "/var/named/chroot/var/named";

pid-file "/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid";

listen-on { 192.168.1.80; };

 

};

        type hint;

        file "db.root";

};

     type master;

     file "db.local";

};

zone "mydomain.now" {

     file "pri.mydomain.now";

};

I have tried about 20 different how-to BIND tutorials and come to nothing.
Any help now would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.
