Bind still not allowing local network

["Murray, WJ \(Bill\)" <W.J.Murray@xxxxxxxx>]

  Hello there,
      I am still unable to run a DNS service from F7 for my home network.
Since my last post I have found the listen-on option, which  seems to allow bind/named
to respond to queries of the type:
    host XXXXX 168.254.0.1
   when issued from the server. But not when issued from somewhere else on the network.
I just get " connection timed out; no servers could be reached"
   Any clues PLEASE?
    Bill
