dns with windows

[m0n0]

i have set up the DNS service in my linux machine as mono.net with the ip 192.168.0.1
and i can access to it from konqueror

and from my windows machine with 192.168.0.2 i can access to it with 192.168.0.1, but when i type mono.net i cannot connect to my ip, it conects to an internet page

i also edit the file windows/hosts.sam but the problem is still there

any ideas??
thanks

Not quite sure what you mean here.
You have set up a DNS server on 192.168.0.1 or just called your linux box mono.net ?
mono.net is a domain not a host. you should give your server a proper host name like server.mono.net then you can enter this into the host table and just ping server.

Am I reading this wrong ?

i just fixed the host name problem and now i´m using server.mono.net

but what do i need to get the html page on the linux machine from the windows machine
cause when i type 192.168.0.1 (server ip) it shows me the page, but now i need to get the same page using the DNS service that i set up before in the server

httpd? Firewall open on port 80?

So type http://server.mono.net into the browser in Win98.

If your DNS is set up properly to resolve "server" to 192.168.0.1, then this will work. You can already connect by IP address, so the firewall isn't a problem, and httpd is obviously running. :)

It's the "if" in that last sentence that could cause the only problem.
