DNS wont resolve when using eth ip address

[Tanathka]

Fedora 9, BIND issue:

When ever I use 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/resolv.conf my server can resolve DNS names.
However if I change the IP address to the one used by the sole network card of 192.168.36.2, it wont resolve at all.

None of my client PC's can resolve when pointed at this IP address either.

IPTABLES have been switched off.

Can someone point out what's stopping this working?

I just needed to allow port 53 to be open on the eth0 interface.
