Re: [masq] [masq] Problems w/masquerading in an NT LAN
Well, your NT clients need to be aware of a fully functional DNS server may it be internal (caching nameserver) or external. Since you are using DHCP, add the information as DHCP options in the DHCP server properties. I am assuming that your DHCP server is built on NT. Please do excuse me if my assumption is wrong.

I cannot get clients in the LAN to get http-connections established. Ping to Internet IP addresses works ok from LAN clients. Also, establishing http-connections from the Linux box itself works fine. This is running the latest (German) SuSE 6.0 Linux distribution (Kernel 2.0.36). Masquerading already is built into the kernel. The NT LAN is set up "dynamically" with a DHCP-server. Can someone help, preferrably with step-by-step instructions, since I'm a real newbie at both Linux and Masquerading (less than a week's experience).

Re: [masq] Problems w/masquerading in an NT LAN
maybe its just your DNS setup that isnt working. make sure your dns server on the workstation is set to the Linux machine. Right, that wasn't set up yet, however, I tried accessing WWW-addresses with direct IP-numbers as well, like http://131.246.119.80. That should work without having the DNS set up properly, shouldn't it ? It doesn't though. If you can ping the IP address and not browse to it, this is bizzare. Can you telnet to any machines on the internet. Maybe you should share your lan configuration with us including your ipfwadm commands. but firstly make sure you read the how-to on it, as without a dns server configured on the workstation, its not going to work anyway, it seems you havent read the how-to's. Another observation I made is, if I ping from a LAN client the Linux box establishes an ISDN connection, if I try accessing a URL in IE (again on a LAN client) it doesn't. So that makes me think that something with masquerading isn't set up properly. again, what is your ipfwadm configs and lan setup. --Stephen - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For daily digest info, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
