Maybe i miss an important information (or not? ...it's in subject). There's a Win 2003 DNS Server. My problem is that all the clients can ping them self using hostname, and they can ping all other windows server in the same way, but not those 2 Debian server. Chris understand well my situation. So i try his suggest: # apt-get install dnsutils # touch /etc/nsupdate.conf edit that file in this way: update delete HostName.DomainName.com. A update add HostName.DomainName.com. 86400 A 192.168.1.1 show send quit (where HostName.DomainName.com is my Debian fqdn, and 192.168.1.1 my Debian ip address). Then run the following command: # nsupdate -v /etc/nsupdate.conf Here you are my output: Outgoing update query: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: UPDATE, status: NOERROR, id: 0 ;; flags: ; ZONE: 0, PREREQ: 0, UPDATE: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; UPDATE SECTION: HostName.DomainName.com. 0 ANY A HostName.DomainName.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.1.1 couldn't get address for 'DNSHostName.DomainName.com': not found If i try to ping DNSHostName.DomainName.com, my debian machine resolve the record. Any other suggest? Regards! M -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
