I did comment and added my public static IP like the following: listen-on { 202.x.x.x; }; # My Static IP Now when I do from my local PC: dig yahoo.com @202.x.x.x , I can do DNS lookups. But when I try doing that from another computer on my network, I can't do any DNS lookups. Is that anything that I miss? - -- With best regards and good wishes, Yours sincerely, Tek Bahadur Limbu (TAG/TDG Group) Jwl Systems Department Worldlink Communications Pvt. Ltd.
