Hi,

I have been trying to get delegated to run as a DNS server on WINDOWS XP PRO without success. The following is an extract from the bat file I use to set up the service. I have used a similar basic setup on Linux and WINDOWS 2K which have worked fine. The XP version has been patched to the latest SP1 + fixes and the windows DNS service has been stopped. I am currently using "Delgate 9.0.4". The machine uses hardcoded 192.168.0.* addresses for the local LAN and a DHCP address supplied by my broadband supplier for the external connection. Using Ethereal I have tracked DNS requests into the system but no responses. I can see no specific problems in the delegate logs. Delgate appears to be sat on UDP port 53 as you would expect.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

delegated -vt -P53 SERVER=dns REMITTABLE="*" PERMIT="*:*:.localnet" RESOLV=cache,file:"c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts",dns RES_CONF=file:"c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/resolv.conf" DNSCONF="domain:delta,origin:dylan,para:4" ADMIN=root@home.. HOSTLIST=".localnet:192.168.0.*,localhost,./32" LOGFILE="${PORT}[date+.%%w]" VARDIR="C:/Program Files/Delegate" TMPDIR="C:/Program Files/Delegate/tmp"


Many thanks 

Stuart
