Which DNS side does not work? Authoritative or resolver? Can you ping any host by name from your server? Or does it have a problem with domains hosted on it?

Some times, it takes a little longer than 2hrs for the DNS/Nameservers to propagate, don't hurry into things and mess up.

Its been set since monday
Using layeredtech, set my nameservers as they say on there forums paste 4 IP's into my resolv.conf
SO then assigned my Nameservers IP's and set them with DomainSite, but they won't ping
ns1.scene-power.com
ns2.scene-power.com
Best Regards
Danny

Hi,
What is the IP address layered tech has provided to you?
You need to check if you have added your ip address in whm?
second, you need to setup resolver.conf properly.
Basically, if you list out the steps here you have taken (with ip address), i will be able to assist you more.

OK i was told by layered tech to just paste the following into my resolv.conf:
Code:72.36.190.2 216.39.90.2 72.36.191.2 216.39.90.3
Then I went into the hostname set that to:
Code:server1.scene-power.com
ns1.scene-power.com and clicked assign IP address, this assigned the IP:
72.36.203.139
then did NS2 this was assigned 72.36.203.140
I then went to my domain site and it said:
Code:A domain name must use our NS1.DOMAINSITE.COM, NS2.DOMAINSITE.COM, NS3.DOMAINSITE.COM, and NS4.DOMAINSITE.COM name servers in order for DNS Management to function.
Then in mangement I had the following choices to add a new record:
Code:A MX CNAME NS TXT IPV6
Me and a few other people have looked and it seems fine
Thanks Mate
Danny
