asked on
nslookup query
When I type nslookup and get the > prompt, I then type ls mydomain.com with the following output:
**** Can't list mydomain.com : Query refused.
What's happening here? Have I missed out something?

I have W2K running on a Dell Poweredge server. The "Query Refused" interprets to "The DNS name server refused to service the request." This doesn't tell me why!

Have you configured your name server correctly ? http://www.mynic.net.my/newhp/nameserver.html
how is your network configured?
Is your dns server located in a different subnet? Is your network using a DHCP server? Have you corectly configured the dns zones?
You have to give us some more details about your configurations if you can't solve this for yourself.

I can nslookup my domains and hosts from the nslookup command, it's when I go into the interactive mode, the > prompt, that I can't see a list using the ls command. I tried checking my security settings but I'm not sure what to look for as there doesn't appear to be a simple security setting, only permissions allowable to users/groups.
Still a bit puzzled, but I think my DNS server is working properly.

I see your question here previously https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20949245/nslookup.html
has it not helped you ?
Also try a dot at the end of the name like
nslookup www.yahoo.com.
and see any difference

For all you experts out there, I think the reason I can't use ls is for security reasons! Almost no modern DNS server respond to the ls command, so it isn't much to worry about. However, zone transfer are worth worrying about!
