Windows host Linux DNS - how?

[d0mufasa]

Hello all,

Basically, I have a domain (kdc.pridelands.com) that has 4 linux machines. This works well. On a linux machine, if I do:

From a Linux box, I get the following:

simba:~ # nslookup simba
Server: 192.168.1.70
Address: 192.168.1.70#53

Name: simba.kdc.pridelands.com <=
Address: 192.168.1.69

__________________________________________


From another Linux box, I get:

scar:~ # nslookup simba
Server: 192.168.1.70
Address: 192.168.1.70#53

Name: simba.kdc.pridelands.com <=
Address: 192.168.1.69

__________________________________________

So, for the most part, things work as expected

But this is not the case for Windows...

From a Windows box, I do a lookup and get:

C:\Users\KDC>nslookup simba
Server: home
Address: 192.168.1.254

Name: simba.gateway.2wire.net <=
Addresses: 192.168.1.69

__________________________________________

basically, the domain is : kdc.pridelands.com (wanted)

but, with the Windows box, the domain is: gateway.2wire.net (unwanted)

If anyone knows of a way to solve this problem, that would be great. I am thinkng fixing the Windows domain so that it is kdc.pridelands.com would be a start.

TIA

Server: 192.168.1.70
Address: 192.168.1.70#53

Name: simba.kdc.pridelands.com <=
Address: 192.168.1.69

C:\Users\KDC>nslookup simba
Server: home
Address: 192.168.1.254

Name: simba.gateway.2wire.net <=
Addresses: 192.168.1.69

Start by configuring the Windows box to use the same name
server the others are using.
