hi sam,
its the DNS that´s stumped me. How do I enable things such that when a client on my LAN picks an ip address from the dhcp module, i can ping it using its hostname (e.g. fooPC) rather than its ip address?
The following is how i´ve configured things:
Under the ´Core´ section, and under Network ---> DNS, i configured my name resolvers to be 127.0.0.1 and 10.0.3.5 (my ISP´s name server).
Under the ´Infrastructure´ section, and DHCP, Common Options tab -
Default gateway = zentyal
search domain = zentyal domain - abx.ltd
primary nameserver = local zentyal dns
i created a range from 192.168.0.51 to 192.168.0.100
Still in the same Infrastructure section, under DNS, i created a domain called abx.ltd with an ip address of 127.0.0.1.
My external (internet-facing) interface obtains an ip by dhcp, while my internal interface has a static ip of 192.168.0.254.
I hope all that helps.
Thank you.
