domain help

Oh, yeah, that won't work unless you're actually running a DNS server yourself. You need to set your name servers to a dns that will hold your domain info. Registerfly has their own name servers, like I said in my previous post... so I use dns1.name-services.com, dns2.name-services.com, etc.
so then why could he get to my site?
heres the log proving it:
12.85.168.35
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt)
Date/Time: The current date is: Sun 12/01/2002
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy) 12.85.168.35: [url]http://ns1.hazardnet.net/index.php:80[/url]
defy all logic? lol
Didn't he type in the IP address?
That's how I'm able to get there, by typing the domain i get errors.
what i'm saying is, he added the name server to the list, and when he typed in the address... ns1.hazardnet.net, he was able to get to my site, ..look at the log on my last post
Umm... when I click the link in your previous post I get errors.
DNS, and how domain names work in general, is a rather simple concept. You register your domain name with a registrar. Your registrar tells other dns servers in the world what dns to look for when trying to find your site. Now, once you get to the dns that has your domain info, then it tell you where to go to find the actual site. Your site, and the DNS server will be completely different... unless, like I said before, you're running a domain name server from your home machine (which I highly doubt, since this would only be something a very experienced user would do).
That being said, here is a screen shot of the settings for one of my domain names, http://gagon.net: screen grab.
GAHHH, i know that!!! would you please read my posts COMPLETELY, i know your just helping, and that you dont have to but this is getting frustrating...
what i was saying wasit worked a Few times for him, and sometimes it didnt, it worked about 5 times for him, hes on 56k, and the first time he was on, he went to it once and it worked, then the next time he got on, he went to it about 5 times, sometimes it worked, some times not..
SOO, what i'm saying is.. WHY DID IT WORK FOR HIM...
Well, that truly is bizaar that it actually worked. It's possible that your server is trying to function as a dns (I'm guessing maybe you're running 2k server, and enabled dns server)... how your machine got your domain info, I don't know.
and i think it SHOULD work the way i have it set up, because my neighbor put in, a few days ago ns1.hazardnet.net and my ip and he said that he got to my site from it a few times, and he did, i have the logs showing it.. but it only worked for him, now.. i dont know if it started working, he got it, then it stopped working or it has something to do with him setting it? i'm confooosed.
No, it shouldn't actually work that way. It sounds like the only way he got to your site was by your IP.
You need to give more, detailed info, to really know what's going on.
I can tell you this though, without having an in-depth understanding of DNS, I wouldn't attempt to run one. I have ran one before, and they can be a bitch to configure correctly... not to mention a resource/bandwidth hog.
yes, win 2k server, IIS 5.0, and i dont believe i have DSN setup on it.. wanna tell me how? i doubt i have it up
If you don't know whether or not you're using it... then you shouldn't be using it.
You need to figure out how to set it up with your registrar (I'm assuming they have dns servers you can use).
k anyways, all i know is i have it set to obtain the DNS Server address automattically.
Umm... yeah, that's part of your network stack... more specifically tcp/ip. Doesn't really have anything to do with your domain/dns.
i still dont get how he got to my site if what you are saying is true.. it doesnt make any sense..
Well, how did he get to your site? By IP, or domain name?
domain of coarse... i've had my site working with my ip for quite a while now
Well, the only way it could work is if your server is somehow functioning as a dns. The only scenario I could think of is you have dns server turned on on your machine.
Is it 2K pro, or server?
Go into computer management (start>programs>administrative tools>computer management), goto services, and see if you see something that says "dns server" (not dns client).
If this isn't the case... then it truly is a mystery. I've never heard of anyone doing this, and have it work, without actually running a dns server from their machine.
DNS Client is in there, the description of it is:
Resolves and caches Domain Name System (DNS) names.
i also have DHCP running, the description of it is..:
manages network configuration by registering and updating IP addresses and DNS names.
oh, win2k pro
Yeah, of course you have those in there. Every 2K machine will. DNS server is something totally different than DNS client.
It doesn't look like you're running a DNS. I don't know how your current setup would actually work. In theory, it shouldn't.
how do i setup DNS Server?
Well, I don't mean to be condescending, but given the questions you've already asked, it's obvious that setting up and running a dns will be over your head. No offense... I just think you're going about things the wrong way.
You should check with your registrar to see if they have domain name servers for you to use. If not, find a new registrar. I highly recommend registerfly.com.
If you are absolutely set on setting up a dns, here are some links:

I feel dirty for posting a link to an .asp page.
over my head, doubtfull, anyways, i have tried contacting them, no one answers.
