I am not able to get the Samba4 internal DNS server to respond to DNS requests on the network.
I am running Samba4 4.1.0pre1-GIT-c1fb37d on my CentOS 6.3 system. I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO I configured Samba4 to use the internal DNS server. My Samba4 server is 192.168.0.13. Its full hostname is ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net. The realm is ALLENLAN.NET. The DNS testing section of the document passes: $host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.allenlan.net. _ldap._tcp.allenlan.net has SRV record 0 100 389 ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net. $host -t SRV _kerberos._udp.allenlan.net. _kerberos._udp.allenlan.net has SRV record 0 100 88 ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net. $host -t A ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net. ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net has address 192.168.0.13 I configured my Windows XP system with a DNS of 192.168.0.13 (Samba4 server). When I perform the Windows command "nslookup ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net" (or any variation of that) it reports: DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.13: Timed out (above 3 messages repeat again) Default servers are not available Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.0.13 The Windows system can ping the Samba4 server by IP address. Any help would be appreciated! More configuration information below. /etc/resolv.conf: domain allenlan.net nameserver 192.168.0.13 /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf: [global] workgroup = ALLENLAN realm = ALLENLAN.NET netbios name = UBUNTU-AD server role = active directory domain controller dns forwarder = 192.168.0.1 interfaces = 192.168.0.13 127.0.0.1 bind interfaces only = yes log level = 3 server services = smb, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, winbind, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate, dns /etc/hosts: 192.168.0.13 ubuntu-ad ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 $hostname ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net Thank you.
