DNS in Lion doesn't work?

Ok, I'm new to Mac but not new to DNS. I have it configured and running and have all of my workstations pointing to the server IP for primary DNS. It doesn't work locally. I used a .com for the local server name. Is this the problem? When I ping server.domain.com (correctly input, of course) it says it can't find the name. Is there a document from Apple (NOT some website that isn't official!) that explains how to setup DNS on Lion from scratch? Any help would be appreciated.

You didn't understand the question. I know where DNS entries go. I'm talking about the DNS server setup on Lion. I have it setup and it isn't working. It doesn't return the correct information. Do you have any experience with setting up a DNS server on Lion?

  • Anyconnect SSL-VPN - DNS Lookups (external) doesn't work

    Hello,
    I have issues with my SSL AnyConnect VPN setup on my ASA 5512-x. The VPN , split tunneling and NAT exempt is working fine and i can connect to internal hosts.
    However, external or internal DNS requests doesn't work on the clients (Windows, Anyconnect). I want full split tunneling, ie DNS requests should not go through the VPN.
    The DNS requests works through NSLOOKUP but not in ping and in any browser.

    I don't have experience with the ssl client and vista, but I do use the new Anyconnect SSL client with vista. All you need to do is upgrade the ASA to version 8. Hope that helps.

  • VPN connection with Lion doesn't work

    Hello,
    I am using the System Preferences to connect to the VPN network of my university. It's a Cisco IPSec. But since the update to OS X Lion it doesn't work anymore. I did not change the preferences of the VPN so they are correct. I also deleted the VPN connection and re-enetered the VPN settings but it stil doesn't work. Yesterday I asked the people from the computation centre but they have also no clue.
    Does anyone has a clue what to do?
    Best regards
    Frank

    Is your disk partitioned into more than just one mac partition and the bootcamp partition by any chance?
    A second Mac partition?
    This sympton is often caused by the Windows partition moving to be to be the 4th or higher partition, which it doesn't like for booting. Lion installs an extra partition - the recovery partition at the beginning of the drive and shuffles everything down one effectively, so if your bootcamp partition was the 3rd it becomes the 4th and Windows becomes unhappy about booting

  • Listen to Sirius Satellite...since the lion upgrade to lion, doesn't work.

  • Zoom-in feature under Lion doesn't work properly, need immediate help

    Hey, I have a bad eyesight as a handicap and I completely rely on the zoom-in-function of my mac because it let's me easily access and see stuff I want.
    when upgrading to Lion yesterday the zoom feature first didn't work at all then it jus enabled me to zoom in but the zoom  sort of froze and my mouse could only move within the zoomed frame. I set it all to "follow the mouse" but it jsut doesn't work.
    the zoom-feature was one of the main reasons years ago I got a mac in the first place and now it's so frustrating. really, I need help!!! does anyone at Apple already know about the problem?

    B...I guess it's no secret, but there is a problem with the zoom feature, and it's somehow connected to the screensaver being active when the computer goes into sleep mode. There are 2 quick ways to work around this without having to log off or reboot all the time  !. Turn off your screen saver, and zoom should always be available to you. 2. If you need the screen saver, activate one of the hot corners in the screen saver selection area. When your machine refuses to zoom, activate the screensaver by using the hot corner for a few seconds. When you return to your desktop, the zoom will be working again. I works every time for me. Good Luck everybody and I'm sure this little hiccup will be fixed in a short time.

  • DNS server provided by VPN to Mountain lion doesn't work

    We are producing proprietary VPN server and client. After upgrade to Mountain lion the DNS stopped working. I noticed that if_index is now in the dns resolver decription when scutil --dns is used for listing. This if_index refers to the physical network interface. So I tried to send public DNS server from our VPN server. It helped because the DNS resolution is done over physical interface. Problem is that we need to use private DNS server, that is the purpose of VPN. The only suspicious piece of code is
    str = SCDynamicStoreKeyCreateNetworkServiceEntity(0, kSCDynamicStoreDomainState, gs_dynamicCache.m_serviceId, kSCEntNetIPv4);
    whic copies IPv4 settings from primary IPv4 sesrvice. Can you recommend good article where I would find and understand DNS reolution guidelines for Mountain lion? It is impossible to find something about that if_index. And we are pretty sure that it works correctly on Lion.

    Please don't. People absolutely detest those things. MacOS X includes perfectly good VPN clients that work far better than any proprietary VPN. Why don't you just change the server to work with what ships with MacOS X?

  • Apple Final Cut Express 3.5 on Lion doesn' t work

    Hello everyone,
    My Lion runs great, but I've now bought Apple Final Cut Express 3.5 andwhen I try to install it it says: "You can use the" FinalCutExpress.mpkg "not open, because the PowerPC programs will no longer be supported." Cansomeone help me and does anyone know how to Lion "uninstall" again?
    Sorry for my bad English

    I know this babowa has had their question answered, but I thought this could be helpful to others.
    If you have just one hard drive in your computer (12 steps - total time: about an hour):
    1.  Go to Disk Utilities and select your hard drive.
    2.  Click the partition tab, click and drag the current partition smaller by about 20 GB (if you have it to spare)
    3.  Click the + at the bottom (it should fill the blank space remaining), select the new partition, name it "New_Snow", set the format of the new partition to Mac OS Extended, and then click "apply".
    4.  Insert your Snow Leopard disc, and reboot holding down the C key (this should boot to the installer).
    5.  In the installer, select the "New_Snow" partition that you created (NOT THE BIG ONE WITH ALL YOUR STUFF ON IT), click the customize button when you see it and deselect everything - this installs just the base operating system and will be the quickest.
    6.  When the computer reboots, hold down the "Option" key, and select the "New_Snow" partition to boot to.
    7.  Once in the Snow Leopard OS (can check by seeing if Launch Pad is in the dock), insert the Final Cut Express disc, and install it and whatever else you want to your "New_Snow" Partition.
    8.  Open the apps, register them, and enter in the CD key.
    9.  Use the software updater (found in the apple menu) and choose to update anything associated with Pro Apps and Final Cut Express.
    10. Reboot.  Hold down the Option key again, and select the Lion partition this time.
    11.  After you have booted into Lion, go to Applications>Utilities>Migration Assistant, and select the following settings:
      a.  From another Mac, PC, Time Machine Backup...
      b.  From a TimeMachine backup or another disk.
      c.  Make sure your "New_Snow" disk is selected.
      d.  Deselect everything but Applications, and continue with install.
    12.  If you want, keep the other partition as a backup (it has FCE on it already and everything) or use DiskUtility to remove the 2nd partition, and resize your Lion partition back to full size.
    Here is the short version of this method for people who know how to partition hard drives and do reboots, etc:
    1.  Create a new partition on your hard drive
    2.  Install just the base SL OS to the new partition
    3.  Boot into your new SL installation, install FCE, open it and register it, and run the FCE-associated updates
    4.  Boot back into Lion, and use the Migration Assistant to transfer only Applications from the SL partition to the Lion partition.
    Total time spent using this method is about 1 hr + (including FCE updates).
      5 mins to set up the new partition
      20-25 mins for the base OS install
      10-15 mins for the FCE install
      10 mins for updates
      5 minutes to transfer apps from the SL partition
    Notes:
    I bet the "install Rosetta Stone" method would have worked too, but I didn't try it.  I already had a second partition set up on my computer with Snow Leopard; so, all I had to do was boot to it, do the FCE install, then transfer it to my Lion install with the migration assistant. 
    Hope that helps someone else who doesn't want Final Cut Pro X or doesn't/can't afford the upgrade for $400.  I figure even if it took you 4 hours to do, you're still likely saving $100 per hour.
    FCP X download - 3 hrs
    Installation - 15 minutes
    Immediate learning curve issues, etc. - a few more hours
    Updates - 30 mins
    total alternative cost about 8 hrs and $400.
    Good luck to all.

  • RV082 DNS Local Database doesn't work

    I recently upgraded the firmware to 2.0.2.01-tm (from 2.0.0.19-tm). Now I noticed the RV082's local DNS server ("DNS Local Database" feature) does not work any more. Any URL-IPaddr combo I used to put in there was resolved prior to sending a request to the WAN's primary/secondary DNS server.
    It isn't a PC problem. I tested on different real and virtual machines, windows and Linux. Is there new "enable" switch somwhere? Anyone, any ideas? Suppose I log into the RV082 with puTTY, what can or should I do?

    You can try a factory reset and reload the configuration but the above step i suggested if it didn't work then next suggestion would to be factory reset and reconfigure manually and then test.
    So yes you can try that first then try what i suggested and if that don't work then it will be next step
    Factory reset and reconfigure manually.. Some times when upgrading it can cause some corrupted files and only way to fix is a factory reset and reconfigure (manually)..

  • Search in Mail (Mountain Lion) doesn't work

    I have a new MacBook Air running 10.8.5, and migrated a new user from an older Mac using Migration Assistant. Everything is fine but the search function doesn't return any results in Mail. I have rebuilt the mailboxes, and also re-indexed spotlight by adding then deleting the disk. All the posts about this subject on the forums are quite old...has this problem been solved yet?
    (Note that when I do the search using Spotlight, the emails do show up. It's when I use the search function within Mail that I get no results.)
    Thanks for any help.
    <Subject Edited by Host>

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How to restore SL from TC if Lion doesn't work

    Gents,
    I have a TC and made backups. But how to restore SL back to my MacBookPro. after a bad Lion installation.
    thanks

    I guess even the ladies could answer, right?  Start your Mac using either the Snow Leopard Disc, or if it came with SL already on it, with the Installation Disc.   Find "Utilities" at the top (menu bar) and choose Restore System from Backup.  You choose the backup (Time Machine) and the destination (your computer's HD). 
    I have been through this procedure and can report that it went smoothly.  It did, however, take a while (I connected my MCP with Time Machine via ethernet cable).
    Hope this helps!

  • Autosave doesn't work on Office or iWork?

    Autosave on Lion doesn't work on either Microsoft Office or iWork. Both applications have the last updates. There is no little triangle next to the name of the file on top of the window. What's wrong? Thanks

    Office for Mac doesn't support Autosave or Versions yet. Microsoft will have to add those features, which they probably will in a future update. iWork got an update the other day so you should run Software Update.

    Re: iTunes Match on Mountain Lion doesn't work on my 2012 MacBook Pro. I had Lion before, and iTunes Match worked fine. Now it disconnects and back every few seconds. I tried resetting cache, iTunes, turning on/off match, but nothing works. Now what? 
    Jul 30, 2012 11:50 PM (in response to OneBigBear)
    but Itunes Match works fine on my iMac and my iPhone 4 still.
    Did you have iTunes Match on LION previously? or just on Mountain Lion ?
    I can access all my content from my iPad, AppleTV and iPhone, just my Mac keeps retrying. I can even re-download songs to my Mac.

  • I have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro that has lion installed when I recieved it, according to the support pages AHT is supposed to work over the internet if it wasn't installed, Mine wasn't and it doesn't work. Where can I download it from?

    I Have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro, I recieved it with OSx 7.2 lion installed, I need to us AHT (apple hardware test) according to the support page that I copy here
    Additional Information
    Apple Hardware Test is included on the DVDs that are shipped with some Macintosh computers. If the copy on your hard drive becomes unavailable, use the DVDs to run Apple Hardware Test.
    For Intel-based Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.4  or earlier, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Mac OS X Install Disc 1  and should be included with your computer.
    For Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install  Disc 2 and should be included with your computer.
    For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead.
    This doesn't work as the additional information statement says it should above.  Could someone at apple give me an idea of where to get it or what the "REAL" solution is, since it doesn't work on an internet version which was confirmed today at the Genius Bar in the Apple store.
    Please help me

    Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
    And how long did you hold it down?
    I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
    If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

  • I upgraded to mountain lion, now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work

    I installed mountain lion and now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work.  I did a disk permission repair, but that didn't help.  Any suggestions?

    My internet card will only work on 32bit,and it sounds like mountain lion only works on 64bit so that must be my problem. I think I will have to upgrade my internet or go back to lion.
