can i take any dns server from another ISP?

but why works my mail not is that also using dns?

david_ross · 05-25-2003, 02:18 PM

Your mail is proabably trying to access the server "mail.yourisp.com" so yes it will need dns too.

What ISP are you using? most ISPs have more than one DNS server.

I can't see why you are blaming redhat I can't see how that is causing a problem.

I would confirm with your ISP that those are the correct DNS entries.

david_ross · 05-25-2003, 02:34 PM

The DNS IPs I can find for Wanadoo are:
62.37.228.20
62.36.220.75

david_ross · 05-26-2003, 03:37 PM

What is the DNS server used by your linux box?

Wimpie22 · 05-26-2003, 03:51 PM

195.121.1.34

in /etc/resolv.conf

david_ross · 05-26-2003, 03:55 PM

Yet that doesn't work on XP?

Wimpie22 · 05-26-2003, 03:58 PM

no that doesn't work on XP i can ping the dns server and on my linuxx server i can ping www.zoek.nl at the prompt but not on my Win Xp machine?

david_ross · 05-26-2003, 04:13 PM

This seems very odd - it seems to be an issue with XP.
Do the DNS servers look correct for "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection" when you run:
ipconfig /all

Wimpie22 · 05-27-2003, 02:20 PM

Yes i've checked it all but it does'n't mabey i have to install a dns server on my linux server?

david_ross · 05-27-2003, 04:05 PM

Do you mean it doesn't show up or it just doesn't work?
