Hi,
I got my system put together. I have booted a Gentoo 10 CD. This is
the setup as far as the network goes.
Internet
DSL modem
Gentoo rig named smoker
New rig, no name yet. Lightening will work for now. ;-)
I got it working from internet to modem to Gentoo rig as usual. I also
can ping, BY IP, my Gentoo rig smoker from lightening. I cannot get
smoker to resolve the traffic from Lightening to the internet. When I
try to ping google, it sits there for a bit and I see traffic from
Lightening on gkrellm but it never forwards to the internet. After a
bit, it says " ping: unknown host google.com".
I'm pretty sure the issue is smoker. I went through this before and my
old script doesn't work. Basically, smoker isn't forwarding the traffic
from Lightening to the internet. I been following the home router
howto and even turned the commands they list into s new script. Still
no workey.
This is from smoker:

I think this is the problem. Networking has always been a pain in the
but for me. eth0 is the network for lightening to smoker. eth2 goes
from Gentoo to the DSL modem.
Need help. Ideas? Suggestions? Questions?

P. S. Rig is nice so far.
