Hi guys!!

Well, our DNS server is a Solaris 8 with bind-8.2.3
and I have to install a primary domain controller for file and printting etc.
I try "dcpromo" and want to create a new tree and a new forest, everything goes fine but in the last step it shows an error message: "can't find DNS server for dinamic actualization".
I'm new with bind, and I tried to configure it, I made a forward zone with my DNS server and w2k server name and IP address. A reverse zone too.
The "resolv.conf" file is has "nameserver 127.0.0.1" and his own IP address.
Also the DNS IP address is the preferred in the w2k server tcp/ip properties.


I use "nslookup" and this is the answer:
***********************************************************
Predetermined server: dns.w2k.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.0.1
***********************************************************


And if I use the DNS IP address the answer is:
***********************************************************
Server: dns.w2k.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.0.1

Name: dns.w2k.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.0.1
***********************************************************


If I try with the w2k server name is this:
***********************************************************
Server: dns.w2k.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: wintest1.w2k.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.0.2
***********************************************************


And with the w2k server IP address:
***********************************************************
Server: dns.w2k.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.0.1

Name: wintest1.w2k.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.0.2
***********************************************************


This is the resolv.conf file:

options {
directory "/etc";
pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "/etc/db.cache";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "named.local";
};

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/192.168.0.rev";
};

zone "w2k.mydomain.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/w2k.mydomain.com.hosts";
};

This is my forward zone file:

$ttl 38400
w2k.mydomain.com. IN SOA dns.w2k.mydomain.com. wontolla_8.hotmail.com. (
1005283797
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
w2k.mydomain.com. IN NS dns.w2k.mydomain.com.
wintest1 IN A 192.168.0.2


And the reverse zone file:

$ttl 38400
0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA dns. wontolla_8.hotmail.com. (
1005282794
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
0.168.192.in-addr.arpa IN NS dns.
1 IN PTR dns.w2k.mydomain.com.
2 IN PTR wintest1.w2k.mydomain.com.


PLEASE!!!!!, any ideas will be apreciated!!!
I have no idea what the problem is, I know 0.01% about UNIX
I can't setup the w2k server as DNS (politics).

Thanks to all of you!!!!!!!!
