Is this DNS server master for your zone? What is your zone name? Does your Domian registration include this server as primary for your domain name? check out : http://www.section6.net/help/bind.php for information on setting up BIND (if that is what you are using) T ----- Original Message ----- From: "ZaiD Dashti" To: Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 7:45 AM Subject: DNS problem > hello > > i have a problem with my DNS server. > > first, i have a registered domain name and i want to change its NS server > to my server to host it in my home (just for learning about DNS) > > second (the problem), when i use nslookup from another computers in my > local network, the dns > server works fine, but when external connection (internet connection, let > say my friend connection) tryies to use my dns server, i got error message > "DNS request timed out", why ? and how to solve it ? > > NOTE: i have an ADSL account, which mean i'm using a router to connect to > the internet, and i'm redirection all ports from the external connections > to my machine ip, so that i'm able to open a server or to connect to my > machine from anywhere. > > thanks > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
