Nameservers newbie question

[h90]

i want to use one of my domains as nameserver like:

ns1.firstdomain.com
ns2.firstdomain.com

and use that nameserver for all my other domains, but either this does not work or I miss somehow on how to set the details for the other domains on that nameserver.

Please help

Unless you give real information we can't lookup anything to see where you've gotten so far, so the only suggestion I can give you is to read a good book.

For example DNS for Dummies.

If you give specific information, perhaps we can help you.

OK, what I could do:
On reseller level I can create the name server:
ns1.dreammodchip.com and
ns2.dreammodchip.com

that worked.
Now I can log in as the user dreammodchip and change the DNS settings,
that worked

now I want to set the domain
psxtune.com on
ns1.dreammodchip.com and
ns2.dreammodchip.com
that does not work. It seems I can only use that nameserver dedicated to that domain. But I want to use it for several domains

It appears that your domain dreammodchip.com is registered either with Network Solutions or with a Network Solutions reseller.

It appears your nameservers are registered with them, but at the wrong IP#.

Each nameserver must have an IP#; if both nameservers are pointing to your server then you should have two IP#s pointing to your server.

You need to log on to your account where you registere dreammodchip.com, and change the nameserver registrations to your IP#s. This is NOT the same as assigning a nameserver to a name. If I remember correctly, Network Solutions may call this something like register a host.

Once that's done it could take up to 72 hours to become active.

Once the nameservers are active they'll work for any domain.

BTW, DNS for Dummies would have had the answer to this .

that is not the problem, I did not set that yet and I know that very well, I have only the problem with direct admin.

"Once the nameservers are active they'll work for any domain."

how can I set the settings for psxtune.com which belongs to user "psxtune" to ns1+ns2.dreammodchip.com which belongs to user dreammodchip?

Or how can I add other domains to the nameserver?

I have no problems understanding how DNS works theoretical (I make that since 8 years), just on how to set it in DirectAdmin.

Please in the future use the forum's built in quote function; it's too hard for me to follow what I wrote and what you wrote.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

Where can't you set the nameserver?

In DA, or at your register?

If in DA, then where are you trying to set it (the complete URL)?

BTW, your years of experience with DNS don't impress me. My years with DNS don't even impress me.

That's why I recommend reading books; it's what I do when I need to figure something out.

found the problem already.
I write the solution here maybe it helps someone.....

I must first set the nameserver with "modify user" to ns1+2.dreammodchip.com than I can modify the sameservers settings.

While it was for me logic that I make all the nameserver changes at the user who owns the nameservers domain and not at the targets domain.....

I needed unbelivable many hours to figure that out....

with my nameserver experiences I didn't try to impress you (seems to be an impossible mission anyway )
I wanted to point out that I know the basics about nameserver and it is unlikely that I missunderstand something there.

Thanks for trying to help
