I think I have a DNS problem somewhere along the line, but just to clear that up, let me ask this: say I have my host set up for home.mydomain.com and DNS is set up on that host. Shouldn't I be able to ping mydomain.com from the console and get a response? Because now it's saying that mydomain.com cannot be resolved. I think this is why I'm having trouble getting my DHCP clients to obtain a lease. Although it's wierd, the address range is from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200 and when I renew the lease for a certain Win 98 machine, I get messages from dhcpd stating that either the connection was refused or it timed out. I have toyed with my DNS configuration for quite some time and those are the two errors I've receieved. I think it's because of the DNS problem where I can't ping mydomain.com but I CAN ping home.mydomain.com. If anyone has any ideas / suggestions please let me know. Thanks.
