Hi all,

I have a local DNS server set up on FreeBSD 4.2 with ISC's DHCP server
running to hand out IP's to my client machines.  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.

Tim Radigan
