Subject: DNS Help

Well, I seemlingly got my dns server running but nothing can communicate

with it. Of course if anyone can help me you may need to know how I have
my=20
network set up:

Internet Via Cable modem goes directly to the WAN port on a Linksys=20
Wireless-B Router.
Router goes to a patch panel and to a switch which goes out to the=20
individual ports in the house
Server is hooked up directly to Router, and Laptop/Desktop using
Wireless=20
connections.
The Linksys router has DHCP set up, with 192.168.1.1 being the router
itself
The server is set to use 192.168.1.2
DHCP release is set to 192.168.1.100-150
DHCP is set to assign 192.168.1.2 as the default DNS
Router has built in Firewall, port 53 TCP/UDP is set to forward to the
DNS=20
Server.

From the server I can do a dig and all my records return exactly
correct,=20
and my reverse look-up works as well.

From my linux desktop dig doesn't even appear to try to contact my local
dns=20
server first. It goes straight through the router.

From my laptop with nslookup I get:

Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.2: Timed Out
Default server: vip1bycymi.bycy.mi.charter.com
Address: 24.247.24.53

So my reverse lookup isn't working for one, as I can tell from the first

line. When I change the default server to "192.168.1.2" and type in=20
"bcthund.home" i get:

>bcthund.home
Server: [192.168.1.2]
Address: 192.168.1.2

DNS request times out.
     timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request times out.
     timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to [192.168.1.2] timed-out

I don't know if this is a DNS Server issue, or a firewall issue, or some

sort of propagation issue. I can't seem to pin it down and it's
difficult to=20
find any relevant information online. Any suggestions I would greatly=20
appreciate.
