<p class="MsoNormal">I have two windows 10 pro boxes, both with Bind 9.12.3 tools installed. On one machine, entering “dig” by itself gives me back the root server list as expected. On the other machine, I get an error that says no name servers could be contacted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, if I specify the local name server on that second machine by entering dig @192.168.1.250, I get the root server list.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My logic says that since I can talk to the recursive server, I don’t have a firewall issue. Instead, BIND is not finding the list of name servers (by reading the registry)? I tried putting in a resolv.conf file in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
with contents:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">nameserver 192.168.1.250<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">nameserver 192.168.1.251<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">nameserver 8.8.8.8 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And that made no difference. Running the command prompt as an administrator makes no difference. At this point I’m stumped and welcome any suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
