  • Help with DNS setup for LAN only

    I have a Mac Mini SNS 10.6.8 as our company's local standalone fileserver.
    Everything has ran great for the past year (still is), but now I want to try and setup DNS for more control and services.
    The server host name is servername (no FQDN), which shows up in Server Admin as servername.local.
    I read and followed Hoffman Labs great step-by-step, but must have missed something, since I still cannot get DNS resolution.
    Here is a brief summary of the Server Admin settings:
              Host Name                    servername
              Host (Server) IP          192.168.4.2
              Router IP (also default public DNS IP) 192.168.4.1
              Bonjour                    Wide Area  =  Not enabled
              Settings                    Accept recursive queries  =  localnets
              Settings                    Forwarder IPs  =  8.8.8.8  &  8.8.4.4  (Google Public DNS)
    now...          Zones                              1 Primary Zone  =  companyname.net (we own the domain)
                                            Primary Zone Name  =  companyname.net
                                            Nameserver Zone  =  companyname.net
                                            Nameserver Host Name  =  servername.companyname.net
                                            2 A Records:
                                            servername          192.168.4.2
                                            user1                    192.168.4.3
                                            Reverse mapping - automatic - OK
    Testing          Ran sudo changeip -checkhostname
                        Results:
                                  Primary address          =          192.168.4.2
                                  Current hostname          =          servername
                                  The DNS hostname is not available. Please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
    I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is.  Please help.

    Did you intend to have both "example.com" and "example.net" listed there?  Are those domains really different?  I'm going to assume that was an obfuscation error.  (This is part of the "fun" of obfuscation, unfortunately.  Of having to differentiate errors in the actual configuration from errors that were introduced during the obfuscation.)
    >Oddly, even though I had manually assigned our Comcast gateway's DNS to Google DNS IPs, the gateway summary still shows up as Comcast's DNS server IPs.  So I removed the manually assigned Google DNS IPs from the gateway.
    The gateway (or whatever you're using as your DHCP server) should be configured with the DNS server address of 192.168.4.2.  All other hosts on your network (if you're planning to use your local DNS everywhere on your LAN) should also reference 192.168.4.2, either through an explicit static configuration, or as the address that was received from the DHCP server.
    And as for IP routing, are all your hosts, network printers, network gateways, DHCP servers, etc., all in the range of 192.168.4.1 to 192.168.4.254?  (They should be, if you're using a /24-class 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.)
    But then I don't know where this configuration has gone off the rails...  (Over the years, I've seen and have made my own configuration errors, I've been "bagged" by DNS caches, and I've hit various bugs in DNS implementations.)  What you have stated here should work.
    I'd start at the top of the DNS configuration article, and not stray from what is written there.   That there has been Google DNS and have had ISP DNS configured at the gateway does mean there were some areas that have strayed from the article.   I'd suggest following the DNS server configuration directions exactly.
    Setting up DNS services with OS X Server isn't difficult, but it can be a little fussy. 
    If you don't understand something that's written in that article -- or if you believe you need to enter something different than what's listed there -- then please stop and ask about it.  Either ask here, or ask over there.  (This feedback also helps improve that article.)
    Straying from what's written in that article is certainly and entirely feasible, but that's something best left until after the adminstrator is more familiar with running a DNS server.  Once you know how and why and where you can stray, there are all sorts of things you can do within a DNS configuration.

  • Need help with DNS

    Hi, Can Anyone Help me figure out why I am haivng problems resolving certain addresses like www.SUN.COM!!! on my solaris8 system. I am also having problems with www.msn.com, But I seem to be able to coneccted to other sites like netscape just fine. It seems like my solaris box only like to go to certain sites.
    plz help

    If you can resolve certain domain names but not others, it is either a network problem or the DNS server.
    To be sure, check that you don't have a caching nameserver running on your system.
    ps -ef | grep named | grep -v grep
    That should NOT return any running processes. Also check your /etc/resolv.conf for any misspellings etc. Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf to make sure that you are actually querying DNS rather than NIS or something like that.
    If you want to troubleshoot the DNS server, use nslookup(8) and host(8) to determine how you're querying. The Solaris resolver is a 4.9.x resolver. It doesn't do iterative queries well. It needs to be able to query recursively. Many DNS admins disallow recursive queries because they're inherently stupid unless you're running a caching server... Well, even then they should only be allowed once. Come to think of it, it's pretty much because of recursive queries that caching servers exist. They're pesky things...
    Return with some more info and I'll take a stab at this one.

  • Problem with DNS - ping/Safari cannot resolve, but host/dig work OK

    Hi All,
    Have a weird problem with DNS which is a bit similar to the following ones:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2190208
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=337942
    I connect with remote internal network via OpenVPN and from time to time (yes, intermittent problem :)) internal DNS names cannot be resolved.
    When it happens I can still resolve names using host or dig utilities, but applications (like Safari) and ping cannot resolve them.
    resolv.conf has proper DNS server set:
    *$ cat /etc/resolv.conf*
    *# Mac OS X Notice*
    *# This file is not used by the host name and address resolution*
    *# or the DNS query routing mechanisms used by most processes on*
    *# this Mac OS X system.*
    *# This file is automatically generated.*
    *domain openvpn*
    *search openvpn*
    *nameserver 10.0.0.1*
    More than that - it can resolve those internal names when queried directly, for example using host:
    *$ host YYY.XXX.ru 10.0.0.1*
    *Using domain server:*
    *Name: 10.0.0.1*
    *Address: 10.0.0.1#53*
    Aliases:
    *YYY.XXX.ru has address 192.168.x.y*
    but at the same time ping reports "*Unknown host*":
    *$ ping YYY.XXX.ru*
    *ping: cannot resolve YYY.XXX.ru: Unknown host*
    I tried "*dscacheutil -flushcache*" and it did not help. Also tried to comment out domain and search directives in resolv.conf and it did not help as well (and actually it should not matter).
    Any ideas why this can happen and what else can I check when it happens again?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue. It cropped up after I installed updates to MS Office 2008 and Firefox in which I also saw issues with the icons disappearing in the dock of the applications that were open when I started the Office update. I rebooted to try to get them back, but ended up deleting them and restoring from the Applications folder. I don't know if that's a red herring or not, but I generally try to figure out what has recently changed that may cause something to suddenly start failing.
    I'd been working successfully all morning before it started acting up. Switching from wifi to cat5 had no effect.
    @realaaa, were you able to resolve without a major undertaking, like reinstalling your OS?

    Example, The Windows Server 2008 R2 has Microsoft Exchange, DNS, DHCP, ADDS, FileServices,Network Policy and access Services and Webservices roles installed on a single box.
    Since the Server OS Rebuild I am getting 2 issues that pop up usually when Outlook in opened on a client Workstation,
    I have not dont anything certificate wise to the server since OS Install, and the messages I get and best described here
    I seen on a backdrive, a few certificate files I dont know if we can use these files for anything but we have the following files of drive E (Backup)

    1st Message is about a Proxy certificate I dont get this often but saw it today and my client clicked ok too quickly.
    I have seen it and didnt see it again after trying to close outlook and reopen
    I looked up google images and tried to find it...
    It's like this, (There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate.
    The security certificate is not from a trusted certifying authority.)
    2nd Message is about Security Alert, Autodiscover.xxxx.com.au Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the sites security certificate.

    If you can help guide me thou this as I'm very new to setting up certificates. I had a friend tell me about something in DNS.. but he has been super busy and I want to learn what to do.
    Thank-You.

    Hiya,
    quite a lot has the same confusions as you do, so I've written a simple explanation on the subjet of certificates

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC installation with DNS

    Dear Guru's,
    I want to configure RAC on two node cluster with DNS(For SCAN) in my testing server.
    O.S: RHEL5.4(64 bit)
    Oracle Version: 11gR2(11.2.0.2)
    Note: Am creating nodes in VMware ESXi server.
    Just I want to know whether DNS should be configure in any one of those NODES or in separate machine.
    Bala :)

    Hi Bala,
    I want to configure my Database with & without DNS. (Will try both installation in different servers)I think, you have already received a link on very good article about Oracle RAC installation without DNS and DHCP (I mean Jeffrey Hunter's article).
    There is one more about Oracle RAC installation with DNS and DHCP (http://gjilevski.com/2011/10/05/build-two-node-oracle-rac-11gr2-11-2-0-3-with-gns-dns-dhcp-and-haip/).
    And want to know how it forwards the client connection if a node fails.. Can anyone update the URL for this..There are a lot of information about it:

  • Help with .local domain fix

    Hi,
    I'm trying to inplement the fix that is decribed here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4041 about creating reverse lookup zones and pointers. Although there is information there about it, it links to Microsoft's website with details about it but they're pretty vague. I was wondering whether anyone would be able to provide assisstance to someone without much DNS experience?
    Thanks.

    The workarounds or fixes discussed in that technical note are all sequences over on Microsoft Windows Server and involve the Windows Server 2008 DNS server. 
    Which particular sequence are you trying with Windows Server, and what's confusing you about it?  (So that somebody here might be able help with this.)
    What OS X Server version?  If you're trying to do IPv6 on 10.6.8, AFAIK that involves manually editing the zone files, and that can perturb Server Admin.app.  Based on a quick look, there's no IPv6 AAAA record support in the GUI.  (But you're probably using the Microsoft Windows Server DNS servers?)
    Which Windows Server?
    The best fix is to register a real domain and migrate the local network and the domain servers over to that.   The Apple networking engineers have recommended against using .local for DNS for a while.  They've indicated they try to make this work, but that it likely won't be reliable.  Microsoft is moving away from this, as well.

  • Help with running bonjour

    I can't get bonjour to run on my computer. I have tried uninstalling, installing the previous version and downloading bonjour for windows from apple.The service starts normally and is running but the IE plugin shows "bonjour service not available", running the printing wizard shows the same. I ran the dns-sd which shows
    c:\>dns-sd -V
    DNSServiceGetProperty failed -65537
    c:\>dns-sd -I
    Registering Service Test.testtxt.tcp.local.
    DNSService call failed -65537
    I have itunes 8 installed, haven't found the need to use bonjour before so would usually uninstall it. Don't know much about bonjour, tried searching the forums but couldn't come up with anything. Can anyone help with this?

    I get into the same situation consistently after switching the network connection from Ethernet LAN to Wireless LAN. The only fix I know of is to restart the PC.

  • Help with Windows Sharing Please

    Hello,
    I am new to Mac and this is my first mac book 17 running Mac OS X 10.4.8 pro i've purchased through work. I only recieved this 2 days ago. I am having a problem connecting to my windows 2003 active server / domain controller at work and I am having a problem connecting to my windows xp computer share at home when i take my laptop home with me.
    At work I am connecting to my network via wired built in ethernet with the following ip
    IP - 10.43.144.190
    SN - 255.255.240.0
    GW - 10.43.144.2
    DNS1 - 10.43.144.80 - This is my primary Domain controller DNS
    DNS2 - 10.43.144.81 - This is my secondary Domain controller DNS
    I also have parralels installed running windows xp for my proprietary software that only run on xp with the following address
    IP - 10.43.144.191
    SN - 255.255.240.0
    GW - 10.43.144.2
    DNS1 - 10.43.144.80 - This is my primary Domain controller DNS
    DNS2 - 10.43.144.81 - This is my secondary Domain controller DNS
    the only difference is that my ip has change.
    The problem that i am having is when i go to the finder and network i see all my computers on the network even my windows server. but it won't let me connect. i get an error the the alias no longer exsits do i want to fix or delete.
    So i try installing directory access plug-in via directory access and when i go to connect to my domain controller i get an error that it cannot find or resolve my domain name.
    Know if your familiar with stupid windows in order for you to connect to AD your computer must be able to resolve the domain name via DNS. to when i go to ping my domain name eg. my.company.com i get an error cannot resolve. but when i ping the ip address it sees the server.
    So the first problem that i see with mac is that for some reason it resolves the ip address but i need it to resolve the domain name, and i can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
    and if your answer is to modify the hosts file - i tried that and if your familiar with windows networking that won't work on windows machines either - again STUPID WINDOWS.
    So in short how do i connect to my 2003 AD Server.
    The reason i know that my laptop will connect to my domain is that remember i installed parralels on this macbook with windows xp. well guess what - you got it, I connect to my domain. so i know that it isn't a hardware issue or a network issue its a mac issue.
    Finally i am having the same problem at home connecting to my network via the airport. I see my computer but cannot connect to my computer with windows xp shares. Any suggestions?
    If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated. I tried calling MAC support and they were no use. They said they were transfering my problem to the engineers. and then they said that they couldn't help me becuase its beyond their scope of repairs. but if its a mac os x problem how can it be beyond their repair? I mean come on I purchased this mac for work, told by the sales man that i would have no problems and that mac support is there for me if i cannot connect but they seem like they aren't. I could've went and purchased a dell and not have this headache of connecting to my server of workstation.
    Again sorry for the ranting but if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated

    Not to sure how to direct you with your issue at home, but here is some help with the server at work.
    As I know it, you have two routes. You are obviously (to me) familiar with networking so you might already know that you can install File Services for Macintosh on the server. It's a component of Windows Server that allows you to connect Macs via AFP to the server. Just install it, share a folder and connect via AFP. Easy, but the drawback is that you are limited to 31 character filename lengths on the Mac share.
    I am assuming you want to stay SMB. For that, you need to disable SMB signing on the server via a Group Policy. Here is a link describing that:
    http://simultaneouspancakes.com/Lessons/archives/2004/12/howtodisable.shtml
    Also, Microsoft has an article on binding a Mac to the domain. It's not necessary, but you can do it if you want to get Active Directory working between the Mac and the server. It will require that the long username for an Admin user on the Mac be exactly the same as a user on the Windows network. If it's different, it won't bind.
    I don't know how that will affect your laptop when in use at home.
    Hope that helps.

  • I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

    I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
    Product: D110a all-in-one
    OS: Windows XP Professional
    Error messages: None
    Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
    The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
    IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
    When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
    least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
    It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
    out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
    Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
    printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
    trunk is a round, solid object.
    I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
    I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
    how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
    I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

    Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
    connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
    Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
    Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
    INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
    eth0="dhcp"
    eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
    eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
    No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
    But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
    Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
    Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
    brazzmonkey,
    you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
    Use, f.e., netcfg:
    Comment your old lines.
    In /etc/rc.conf insert:
    NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
    DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
    In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
    First one is named  Eth0-dhcp.
    Contents:
    CONNECTION="ethernet"
    DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
    INTERFACE=eth0
    HOSTNAME="your hostname"
    IP="dhcp"
    DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
    Second one is named Eth1-static.
    Contents:
    CONNECTION='ethernet'
    DESCRIPTION='whatver'
    INTERFACE='eth1'
    HOSTNAME='hname'
    IP='static'
    ADDR='192.168.0.10'
    GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
    DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
    The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
    Hope it helps.

    PS: netcfg must be installed.

  • Help with a simple 1811 configuration

    I have a very basic level of understanding with Cisco products and I need help with what should be simple and even doable by me.
    I have a Cisco 1811 integrated router and am simply trying to use it on my home network.  I can configure the router with an enable secret password, password encryption, VTY, aux, and cons logins with no issues.  The router has 2 Ethernet interfaces, 0 and 1 and 8 switch ports.
    The idea is to bring Comcast ISP service into one of the Ethernet ports and then have three machines on the switch ports able to access the Internet.  Also I have an off-the shelf wireless router that I thought I would just plug that into an available switch port and allow a wireless AP as well. 
    This is so simply, that I can't believe I can't figure it out, but I can't.
    I set int F1 to DHCP, performed a 'no shut', and connected the ISP's router and have an up and up indication.  I have setup a static network with my three machines on the switch ports and enabled all applicable ports and have up and up indications - however, no traffic flow, even amongst my static Layer 2 switched LAN - not even a 'ping'.  By my understanding of Layer 2, this should work right now, whether the ISP service is working or not - WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
    The addressing scheme I have ended up on is 172.16.1.0/28
    Obviously without the first hurdle cleared, of why the switched LAN doesn’t work, I haven't got any deeper.  Do I need to configure NAT?  I don't think I would need to in the scenario right?
    All of my experience, and none at the CCNA level, has been with larger Cisco equipment.  One thing I noticed on the 1811 was that when trying to create a new VLAN, it appears to work yet does not do anything and the 'sh vlans' output returns nothing, not even the VLAN1 I can see with 'sh ip int brief". 
    Anyway, if anyone has time to help a newbie out I would appreciate it; I’m lost.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Thanks for the help Andrew!  You know, I think if this was two separate devices (switch and router) I think I would be up and running, but this integrated stuff is throwing me off, not to mention that the IOS is a much older version (I guess) than what I'm used to. 
    They were throwing this 1811 in the trash can at work, so I just emptied the trash can.  I have no documentation at all but I have since found the 1800 series documentation on Cisco.com and have tried to implement the basic configurations cited; with what seems like success, but still no joy.  I did have to recover the password and did so with 0x2142, I bypassed the setup and compared the default configuration with what is listed in the documentation and they DO NOT match; I also tried to go through setup mode with the same indications.  Additionally I've also learned that the 1800 series is pre-configured on certain options (DHCP, VLAN), which is new to me - I thought Cisco routers were not configured by default - isn't that kind of the point?  (By the way, the below port status may not be correct since I now have all the ports unplugged)
    Anyway, here is the 'show run' command, the 'sh ip int brief' command, followed by the 'sh version' command:

    cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

    If you mean updae server
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Otherwise what server are you talking about
