Gentry you may also want to look in SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Tcpip6\\Parameters as well as SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Tcpip\\Parameters for the search list. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/win32/api/iphlpapi/nf-iphlpapi-getadaptersaddresses Mark > On 1/8/2024 9:41 AM, Gentry Deng via bind-users wrote: >> Hello there, >> >> >> Due to an accident my local network is missing IPv4 DNS but has IPv6 DNS so >> it has little impact on accessing the internet. >> >> But I found that neither `dig `nor `nslookup` worked, and reported an error: >> >> >> ``` >> >> C:\Program Files\ISC BIND 9\bin\dig.exe: parse of C:\Program Files\ISC BIND >> 9\etc\resolv.conf failed >> >> ``` >> >> >> There is actually no "resolv.conf" there, they get the DNS from the system >> and if IPv4 DNS is missing it will throw an error.

Re: [Windows] [9.16.45] Missing IPv4 DNS prevents tools from working
Yes, this bug can be fixed. Just find a software developer and pay him some money. Or fix it yourself, you have the code. I suppose ISC does not want you to buy a paid support subscription to fix this one but maybe they do, you could try contacting them. Oh, wait. You must be wanting this fixed for FREE. Gotcha! Perhaps a review of what the point of Open Source software is might be in order?

Creating "resolv.conf" manually also does not prevent the problem. I noticed that version 9.16 is about to be EOL. I wonder if this BUG can be fixed before EOL? After all, this is the only version of BIND 9 that still supports the Windows platform.

Re: [Windows] [9.16.45] Missing IPv4 DNS prevents tools from working
No, 9.16 is already in the “security or critical bugfixes only” for two years (or so). This is a very minor issue on platform that’s being obsoleted. Sorry.

Does it have an IPv6 address?
