If that is your resolv.conf, then that explains some things. Your box
is looking at the ISP for name resolution and the ISP has no idea (nor
could care) what your internal LAN address space is. Change the
resolv.conf to look at itself (127.0.0.1) and setup BIND with some
simple DNS and RDNS records. You could use pretty much any box on
your network for DNS, but the key is that it has to know about the
internal space.


Or fix your /etc/host.conf to lookup in files first and then use DNS, then put your local network in /etc/hosts. Much simpler for a small network.

E.g. /etc/host.conf

# First try the /etc/hosts file
hosts
# Now try the nameserver next.
bind


And /etc/hosts

192.168.0.1   myhost

Then leave resolv.conf alone. It will be used for anything not in your local hosts file.
