If you already have a DNS server on your network then just adding the nameserver entry in resolv.conf should do the trick.
In your point 7 you said you added the hostname, this should be the IP address of the DNS servers, if you add a hostname it will need to do a lookup to find out the IP address and well... I think you get the point...

Hi,
You need to do the following things to run DNS on Fedora:
1- Edit the /etc/resolv.conf and put this entry:
nameserver ipaddressofyourmachine
2- Edit named.conf and enter the domains which you want to add.
3- Enter the rndc key in the named.conf
4- edit the zone file for that particular domain which usually resides in /var/named/.
