You do not have to re-install things.
You can check your config file syntax by named-checkconf, to check zone file confignamed-checkzone zonename

Check if the port 53 (both udp and tcp) is open in the iptables (if it's set to on) or any external firewall sitting between the client and server.

Check if both the server and the client are on the same subnet, if not, make sure that routing is taking place properly.
