Re: <newbie> is this DNS okay ??

Hello,

Windows firewall may be blockin icmp.
from the workstation:
ping myserver
arp -a
check you have a valid arp for it.

On the server, the firewall must have an exception for the dns service.

intranet.newbie.testing must be the ip on the interface of your server.
127.0.0.1, alias localhost is a local loop that exist on all windows and unix. It point to the computer itself. So if you put this on intranet... the XP will try to connect to itself, which is not the behaviour you are looking for.

Hey

At home I've got 2 computers (winXP and Windows Server 2003). These 2 computers are connected to each other via a gateway. Both these computers are connected output ports on the gateway. The input port on this gateway is the internet from isp. So these 2 computers share the same internet connection. (the gateway is 3com OfficeConnect CableDSL gateway)

Now I've configured DNS on the win2k3 machine... I wonder if this is correct ??

Here is the output from nslookup:
Default Server : intranet.newbie.testing
Address 192.168.1.x

Hmm I think there must be something wrong here because I added configured winXP to use the win2k3 machine as DNS server. From the winXP machine I tryed to ping intranet.newbie.testing and didn't get any response... that may also be caused by some error in the TCP/IP config on the winXP machine, maybe. From the winXP machine I've tryed to ping other addresses but I don't get any respons so far, but despite not able to ping I can browse internet... Both these computers have the standard windows firewall running...

In the DNS configurations I added 2 HOST (A) records:
isp.newbie.testing (ip of the gateway)
intranet.newbie.testing (ip of the DNS server, could maybe be 127.0.0.1 ??)

any suggestions??
