Hi there! I recently tried many times to install and configure a web server, but all over in failures... But thats other question... My question now is, how can I configure the DNS? I've bought a domain name, and there I've to put one name server at least, but I don't know what to put there... If I put my ip address, in this case: 217.129.173.164 it didn't accept it, but if i put my hostname : cb-217-129-173-164.netvisao.pt it accept it, but it doesn't work... For example, my domain name is osiriscomplex.net, what I have to do to create the name server, can i use my hostname instead? What about the records? What I have to do? Thanks in advance... and excuse my bad english (I'm portuguese)
Delegation looks ok: host -t ns osiriscomplex.net osiriscomplex.net name server cb-217-129-173-164.netvisao.pt. But trying to retrieve records from your NS doesn't work: host -t ns osiriscomplex.net 217.129.173.164 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached It would appear that there's no name server running at 217.129.173.164: nmap 217.129.173.164 Starting nmap 3.55 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-03-13 19:59 EST Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0 Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 12.084 seconds Got port 53 open and name server running running on that machine?
And how can I create name servers for that IP, that IP is my home IP, and at this time I have the machine down... Thanks for your help

Thanks for your help falko! I bought managed DNS for my domain. Later I created the A records, and the MX record. the osiriscomplex.net domain is already working, but another A record I have created, is only working at my localhost ( isis.osiriscomplex.net )... I don't know if I did the right things, but now I have this resolved for some time. I have to read with more time the Traditional DNS How-to. Thanks!
I'm lost! ... My domain seems to be in 2 servers... I think it's because of the name servers... I created 2 NS records at the managed dns service, and the target is my IP (is it?), next, I try to change the name servers for that domain, and I put there 2 name servers, ns1.osiriscomplex.net and ns2.osiriscomplex.net, but it gives me an error, something like: NameServer ns1.osiriscomplex.net is not a valid Nameserver What can I do?... Is there some step by step tutorial, explaining how can I create the name servers, and so on?... Thanks for all the help
You must create A records for ns1.osiriscomplex.net and ns2.osiriscomplex.net. They don't exist yet: Code: dig ns1.osiriscomplex.net ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> ns1.osiriscomplex.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 17494 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ns1.osiriscomplex.net.
