BIND DNS server (Windows) - Unable to access my local domain from other computers on LAN
- by Ricardo Saraiva
I have a BIND DNS server running on my Windows 7 development machine and I'm serving pages with WAMPSERVER.
My ideia is to develop some tools (in PHP) for my intranet at work and I want them to be accessible via LAN in this format:
http://tools.mycompany.com
I've already placed BIND and I can access http://tools.mycompany.com on the machine that holds BIND server, but I cannot access it from other LAN computers.
I've done the following on my router:
defined static IP's for all LAN computers
set Port Forwarding to my server (remember: it serves DNS and Web pages)
set DNS server configuration to point to my LAN server
On LAN computers, I went to Local Area Network properties and also changed the DNS server IP in order to point to my local DNS server.
If it helps, here is my named.conf file:
options {
directory "c:\windows\SysWOW64\dns\etc";
forwarders {127.0.0.1; 8.8.8.8; 8.8.4.4;};
pid-file "run\named.pid";
allow-transfer { none; };
recursion no;
};
logging{
channel my_log{
file "log\named.log" versions 3 size 2m;
severity info;
print-time yes;
print-severity yes;
print-category yes;
};
category default{
my_log;
};
};
zone "mycompany.com" IN {
type master;
file "zones\db.mycompany.com.txt";
allow-transfer { none; };
};
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "qfApxn0NxXiaacFHpI86Rg==";
};
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};
...and a single zone I've defined - file db.mycompany.com.txt:
$TTL 6h
@ IN SOA tools.mycompany.com. hostmaster.mycompany.com. (
2014042601
10800
3600
604800
86400 )
@ NS tools.mycompany.com.
tools IN A 192.168.1.4
www IN A 192.168.1.4
On the file above 192.168.1.4 is the IP of the local machine inside my LAN.
Can someone help me here?
I need my web pages to be accessible from other computers inside my LAN using my custom domain name.
I've tried on other computers and they can access my server via http://192.168.1.4/, but no able when using http://tools.mycompany.com .
Please, consider the following:
I'm completely new to BIND
I have basic knowledge in Apache configuration
Thanks a lot for your help.
