DNS/BIND question

[Mike Distefano]

I had the same problem.  I'm running Redhat 7.2, pretty much out of the box.
I had to turn off the iptables service before it would answer DNS queries.
I never configured iptables (must of been part of the server install) but
turning it off fixed my problem.

Ok, so I have this other machine connected (directly) to my server.  Wks -
10.0.0.2, Svr - 10.0.0.1.  I have Svr as the default gateway, squid is
running, so I can access the web.  I access the mail server by pointing to
10.0.0.1 as well.  Only thing is I don't have any DNS.  Since I'm not using
IP Masq or anything, I need my DNS server (which works fine on the local
server) to be accessable to Wks.

### FROM LOCAL SVR ###

[root at riodo root]# nslookup

Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.

### END LOCAL SVR ###

### FROM WKS ###

C:>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.1: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server:  UnKnown
Address:  10.0.0.1

> lucastek.com
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  10.0.0.1

*** UnKnown can't find lucastek.com: No response from server

*** UnKnown can't find slashdot.org: No response from server

### END WKS ###

So I want Wks to use Svr for it's DNS server, and it says it's not
responding.  DNS *IS* listening on that interface.

Any ideas?
