Hi, I have a DNS server setup on a desktop machine thatis also my print and SAMBA servers. The DNS server is responding but Wireshark is reporting a DNS Server Error as the replies to what appear to be the DNS queries. **** WireShark output **** No. Time Source Destination Protocol Info 69 7.811350 192.168.0.50 192.168.0.12 DNS Standard query A samhaber2.sampathome.ca Frame 69: 83 bytes on wire (664 bits), 83 bytes captured (664 bits) Ethernet II, Src: Ibm_13:63:8a (00:11:25:13:63:8a), Dst: D-Link_07:7d:d3 (00:05:5d:07:7d:d3) Internet Protocol, Src: 192.168.0.50 (192.168.0.50), Dst: 192.168.0.12 (192.168.0.12) User Datagram Protocol, Src Port: 41883 (41883), Dst Port: domain (53) Domain Name System (query) [Response In: 70] Transaction ID: 0x0c06 Flags: 0x0100 (Standard query) Questions: 1 Answer RRs: 0 Authority RRs: 0 Additional RRs: 0 Queries No. Time Source Destination Protocol Info 70 7.811845 192.168.0.12 192.168.0.50 DNS Standard query response, Server failure Frame 70: 83 bytes on wire (664 bits), 83 bytes captured (664 bits) Ethernet II, Src: D-Link_07:7d:d3 (00:05:5d:07:7d:d3), Dst: Ibm_13:63:8a (00:11:25:13:63:8a) Internet Protocol, Src: 192.168.0.12 (192.168.0.12), Dst: 192.168.0.50 (192.168.0.50) User Datagram Protocol, Src Port: domain (53), Dst Port: 41883 (41883) Domain Name System (response) [Request In: 69] [Time: 0.000495000 seconds] Transaction ID: 0x0c06 Flags: 0x8182 (Standard query response, Server failure) Questions: 1 Answer RRs: 0 Authority RRs: 0 Additional RRs: 0 Queries *** End of WireShark output *** Also, very interesting is that I thought the DNS deamon was dnsmasq but when I turned that off in the Services menu I expected to get no response or at least something different but it is exactly the same Network traffic. Logically I sohuld conclude that the process 'dnsmasq' is not the DNS server process as indicated by the man page. DNSMASQ(8) DNSMASQ(8) NAME dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server. SYNOPSIS dnsmasq [OPTION]... DESCRIPTION dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS, TFTP and DHCP server. It is intended to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Where does the 'dnsmasq' command line get run from? I would like to review the commadn line and possibly turn on the logging. Does anyone have the DNS server working in OpenSUSE 11.3? Does anyone have the SAMBA server working in OpenSUSE 11.3?
