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 -- Hello again, To be honest, I am not sure why that did not work. To be sure I typed out everything to you correctly, I just added a Debian Lenny machine to the Windows 2k3 DNS server at my work with the same (cut and paste) directions. It worked right off the bat. I am 100% certain that this is the utility you need, but I am thinking you have something on your network that differs just enough from mine to make this different. In the man page for nsupdate it says that you can add a specific server to send the request to. My suggestion would be to try adding: server DNSHostName.DomainName.com as the first line in your /etc/nsupdate.conf file. Should it not resolve, try the IP. Hope this helps.
