OK bear with me while I try to explain my problem. I'm somewhat a Linux noob, so this maybe an easy solution for you.
LaptopA is on it's own subnet, it's handed an address by a linux DHCP server. It can ping anything on side A or side B (separate sublent) by name and IP. DHCP server cannot ping laptopA by name only by IP, but can ping sideB by either. SideB cannot ping sideA by name, only by IP. The problem lies somewhere in the config of my DHCP linux server I think. But all the parameters that it's handing out are correct.
When I do an nslookup from the linux dhcp server I can see that it's looking at the correct DNS server but it comes back SERVFAIL. Yet, when I do an nslookup for something on sideB it comes back with correct results.
I know this may sound really confusing, but I NEED help!!! if you need any other information or clarification please ask. I will watch this post. Your my last hope! Thanks in advance
