nameserver and nslookup problems

[gene_gEnie]

Hi all,
can anyone help me with this...:-
I have a network comprising a windows 2K machin and my linux (redhat 7.0) machine. I can ping and telnet and ftp from either machine and have almost got DNS working (using the linux box as the server) i.e.i can telnet using aliases n stuff.

BUT, when i do nslookup i get the following error:
***********************
RESULTS OF NSLOOKUP

[root@mcloud /etc]# nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.1: Server failed
*** Default servers are not available
[root@mcloud /etc]#

[root@mcloud /etc]# nslookup 192.168.1.1
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.1: Server failed
*** Default servers are not available
[root@mcloud /etc]#

Included is lots of info about my configration files incase it helps anyone solve my prob.

Mucho gratitudo

I think maybe "nameserver 192.168.1.1" should be "nameserver 127.0.0.1"

try that for a start, didn't look to hard.

Thanks,
I noticed a spelling error in the named.conf file when i was looking to see if anyone had replied on here and after having fixed it, it now seems to be all singing all dancing.

Cheers anyway...
