First thing to check for: has the domain been properly delegated to you? What kind of response do you get from say, $ dig domaininquestion.tld ns or dig domaininquestion.tld any Is the machine you are setting up among the ns records listed by dig? > but i got a problem, when i use nslookup then i change the server to my DNS > machine IP local network (by using another computer in the local network), > it works fine, but when i use the IP of my internet account, i got time-out > why? how to solve it ? If your machine is supposed to be the master, you should check that it is set up to answer authoratively for your domain to at least the authorative slaves and preferably to the world. Check that any firewalling of port 53 udp *and* tcp is turned off while you're at it. These are at least some of the more common errors. Good luck with the debugging! -- Peter N. M.
