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; }; }; //-------------------------------------------------------- zone "." { type hint; file "db.root"; }; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "db.local"; }; zone "mydomain.now" { type master; notify no; file "pri.mydomain.now"; }; //-------------------------------------------------------- zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "192.168.1.rev"; }; /var/named/chroot/var/named/db.local ; reverse pointers for localhost ; $TTL 1D $ORIGIN 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. @ IN SOA mydomain.now. root.localhost.

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