[ubuntu] DHCPd and BIND: unable to ping or access clients from server using hostname

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have setup my dhcp and bind server (Ubuntu 11.10). The problem that I'm having is I'm unable to ping or nslookup any clients (my ubuntu 11.10 laptop and Windows 7, and XP PC) from the server using hostname. I'm able to ping my server from the client, and my server from anywhere on my network. My windows clients are able to ping each other using hostnames and they can ping my ubuntu laptop. What I'm I doing wrong. Bind Setup named.conf.options Code: administrator@ns:~$ cat /etc/bind/named.conf.options options {         directory "/var/cache/bind"; (Hardware)

I have a backroom network ip 192.168.1. with Ubuntu server. I set up DNS about a year ago but it has never been reliable.

Having issue configuring BIND, I've registered a domain at namecheap and created NS names e.g.

Hi! I've successfully setup my DHCP server. Clients can connect and an IP gets assigned and the client is connected to the internet.

I have one problem, though. I can access(ping, telnet, web browser) an IP address but not a hostname from a client connected to the server.

BIND on Fedora 10 3 years 44 weeks ago

I've used BIND under Fedora 8 and many previous versions, configuring it with Webmin. I now have a Fedora 10 installation, and am unable to get it working. The Webmin interface seems to have changed a bit, but not enough that I cannot figure out what to do. When I look at my named files, I don't see anything wrong.

I'm trying to setup a small LAN, using an Ethernet switch, an Arch Linux server, and around 10 Windows XP machines. This network has no outside connections.

The Arch machine has a self configured ip address (configured with ip addr add 192.168.0.1 dev eth0), and acts as a DHCP server(using dhcpd).
