    Hi shawn,
              Yes i am able to see them correctly, and just now i have found
    that we have to give the domain as the suffix in the tcpip configuration on
    win2k box and now it works. I dont really know whether this is the right
    solution or not,it is working. Pl let me know the right solution if this is
    not the right one.

    Also can someone point me to a good article to know A-Z of DNS, if it is
    available.

    TIA
    Praveen.K

    from the NT box run nslookup, you should see something like this:

    ( of course mine is UNIX so consider this)

    root at sp202 in / > nslookup
    Default Server: ns1.methodisthealth.org
    Address: 160.37.191.131

    >

    Do you see the name and IP of your DNS there or does nslookup
    hang/timeout?

    Hi shawn,
           Thanks for the info. I could progress a bit in configuring the
    DNS.
    As you said the bind has been installed and the named daemon is also
    running. When i have configured one of the win2k box as a DNS client,
    intially it was showing default servers not available, then i realised
    that
    i have not created a reverse(named.rev as mentioned in my
    named.boot)lookup
    file on the AIX box, once i have done that i was through with this
    problem.
    But now the problem is that, from the win2k box, if I give any hostname
    to
    resolve it says "can't find the server", even if i give the DNS server
    name
    also. Can someone let me know where am i going wrong.

    TIA
    Praveen.K

    Just making sure but did you install bind and start it up? bind
    doesn't
    run by default.

    Hi *,
            I have an AIX server which i want configure as a DNS server,
    and
    this would be used by only 2-3 pc's. I have done the following to
    configure
    the same,

    * Created a file named.boot under /etc, whose contents are

    directory /etc
    primary testitc.com named.data
    primary in-addr.arpa named.rev

    * Created a file named.data using the awk script given in
    /usr/samples/tcpip
    * Then changed the hostname to a fully qualified domain name
    * Created the file resolv.conf under /etc with the following
    entries

    nameserver 127.0.0.1
    domain testitc.com

    but when i give nslookup it says "cannot find server.......:Server
    failed"

    Can some let me know where am i going wrong.

    It would be great if someone can give steps to configure a DNS server.
    This
    is not for a Production environment,so only resolution of the hostname
    is
    sufficient.

    TIA
