Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Domains and DNS
So i got my DHCP sorted out and each client gets a default gateway and
points to the server for DNS and the server gets its DNS from open DNS.

its working great! even after i got the DNS (and internet) working i still couldnt
log on to my domain...which was called FDS.homenet.

Then i reinstalled the server and called my Domain Ilonka.local and this works fine.
why did i have to add the .local and whats the difference if you .local or not,and
why was i not able to log on to my domain.(it was moaning about DNS)

and i have read but still dont understand what a fqdn (fully qualified domain name)
is?

you guys have been great,please help further,im learning so much!

Default Re: Domains and DNS
The reason you need to add .local is because .homenet is not a top level domain (TLD).

However read here: http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/44818/q-can-i-use-the-local-or-pvt-top-level-domain-tld-names-as-part-of-an-active-directory-ad-tree-name.html

It says not to use .local because it's not a reserved TLD. (Well, technically it says it's not reserved for local network use -- but it should be safe anyways.)
