Hi list. I would want install a little net on my house. At this time I have connected 2 machine directly to reverse cable. Server with FC2 (192.168.0.1) and Client with Win2000 (192.168.0.2). Ping it works. Ping it works with name and alias also. ------------ /etc/hosts ----------------------------- 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost home 192.168.0.1 home.bear.net bear 192.168.0.2 pegasus.bear.net pegasus ------------ /etc/host.conf --------------- order hosts,bind ------------ resolv.conf --------------- nameserver 127.0.0.1 ping it works from both machine, but win2000 don't resolve names. on win2000 network configuration is: ip : 192.168.0.2 gateway : 192.168.0.1 netmask : 255.255.255.0 1st dns : 192.168.0.1 wins : 192.168.0.1 on win2000 i'm not capable to insert machine on domain bear.net (but I don't know if FC2 have a correct domain name / management) if I try to examine dns on FC2 rndc start -> connection failed : connection refused I don't understand if on FC2 don't works well DNS resolutions or if win2000 wont some service or something else. Please, can someone, tell me where is the right way ? Now I would try to implement DNS. In /etc/resolvconf there are only configuration for localhost: declaration of directory for zone, defintion of zone ".", "localhost" and "0.0.127.in-addrf-arpa" Why DNS not works ?? Any suggestions are appreciated. many thanks -- bye by fellons
