Can anyone help with this problem please!

I am trying to set up BIND on a linux box called (obviously!)linux
which has an ISDN link to my ISP and a private ethernet network. I use
DHCP on the private network with 1 Win98 (tnlaptop) and 1 Win95 (kenelm)
box.  My private network I call bonditc.co.uk. (address 192.168.10.0) My
problems are these:-
nslookup on the linux box does not know kenelm, tnlaptop or
bonditc.co.uk
the kenelm does not know tnlaptop but does know linux
tnlaptop does know linux and kenelm

By 'know' I mean I can ping one from another using the name all machines
can ping each other using the IP address.
Config files as follows:-
Thanks for any help
