        Sometimes it is necessary to reboot to get the system to take notice of changed settings.

            I'd like more details on how you came to the conclusion "its not working". For example, complete the statement I did … on ... system and I saw the response ... but I expected (or wanted) to see ...

            Please post the output of the command ipconfig /all given to a command prompt windows on the Windows XP system.

            After you added the entry you should have seen the prompt The DNS forwarder configuration has been changed.
            You must apply the changes in order for them to take effect.

            Did you then click the Apply changes button to the right of this prompt? (If you didn't then the DNS forwarder won't have noticed you changed it configuration.) If you aren't sure then add a "dummy" entry and make sure you apply the changes and then retest.

              when im try to ping lap.aruntest.ir  from my xp system  it says host unreachable...

                More like a few weeks? :-)

                Please help.

                Assuming the configuration you have described earlier is still current: you have added a DNS entry for host aruntest in domain lap.aruntest.ir (fully qualified domain name: aruntest.lap.aruntest.ir)

                Perhaps your DNS forwarder entry should be host=lap domain=aruntest.ir … (to match your ping command). Perhaps your ping command should have been ping aruntest.lap.aruntest.ir (to match your DNS forwarder entry).

                Edit - to correct formatting tags.

                      you must type in the full domain name, not just host. example:
                      host: server1
                      domain: jackson.com

                      to access this host it would be:
                      server1.jackson.com

                        Hi,

                        what should I have to do, that it is possible for me to ping the host without enter the FQDN ?

                          use its IP or setup a DNS server like BIND or tinyDNS , or use a DNS service that lets you make queries against it such as OpenDNS and create a shortcut.
