Search Again: Re: reverse zone error From: Men & Mice Support Date: Tuesday, January 8, 2002 Time: 4:51:57 am The problem is that, when you connected to the server, you entered the IP address, not "ns1.zada.net". This may have been necessary at first, but you should change this as soon as possible so that QuickDNS Manager has the server's name. To fix this, disconnect from your server (if necessary) and then reconnect using the server's hostname. The assistant creates NS records when it creates new zones (which this assistant is capable of doing), so it needs to know the name(s) of your server(s) when it does this. Therefore, it refuses to run if it doesn't know the name(s) to use. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 9:36 PM -0800 1/5/02, Hazlitt Krog wrote: >I'm using QDNS v3.5.3 on a PowerMac G3/266.
