Problem in BIND DNS server.

[cj_cheema]

Hi
I have setup BIND as my local network's name resolution (DNS) server. I'm facing a problem that Neither I'm not able to resolve my dns ip address or vice versa on server nor from client. But I'm able to resolve localhost on dns server i'm pasting the results below:
Result of localhost resolution:-
[root@cjpunjabiradio ~]# nslookup 127.0.0.1
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa name = localhost.
[root@cjpunjabiradio ~]# nslookup localhost
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

Result of resolution with my server ip address:-
[root@cjpunjabiradio ~]# nslookup 192.168.0.2
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

[root@cjpunjabiradio ~]# nslookup cjpunjabiradio
Server: 192.168.0.2
Address: 192.168.0.2#53

** server can't find cjpunjabiradio: NXDOMAIN

Also i'm pasting my zones files and name file configuration:

The cjpunjabiradio.co.in. is your domain name, which was defined in your SOA record. It is a domain, not a host. You should write your zone file like this:

First things first.

The cjpunjabiradio.co.in. is your domain name, which was defined in your SOA record. It is a domain, not a host. You should write your zone file like this:

Stop giving bad/incorrect advice. Because the domain is defined you do not need to use FQDN in the zone files.

What does your resolve file have listed?
Is it setup to resolve your domain?
