Hi Brian,
Thanks for your response
I have a remote K12LTSP server with "cygwin" installed. I can connect it
from a local
WinXP box (also installed with "cygwin") using the IP address of the
server. But WinXP could not access the server with its name. Ping IP
address of the server shows connection but not ping server's name (or its
aliases). I need to find out whether DNS is running on the server and
configured properly.
I did following tests
(Remark: IP address of server:- 192.168.0.254
name of server:- server.ltsp aliases:- ltsp
from "network")
On the server as root
# ps -ef|grep bind
root 2775 2729 0 16:21 pts/1 00:00:00 grep bind
# dig @192.168.0.254
; <<>> DiG 9.2.0 <<>> @192.168.0.254
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 46631
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 13, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 13
- snip -
;; SERVER: 192.168.0.254#53(192.168.0.254)
;; WHEN: Wed Oct 2 16:01:45 2002
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 436[root at server /]# ps -ef|grep bind
root 2775 2729 0 16:21 pts/1 00:00:00 grep bind
and
#dig @127.0.0.1 shows the same result.
If DNS has been installed in the server and how to configure it properly so
that the local WinXP can ping either its IP address or name
Thanks
