Thanks, I checked it out, and timeouts don't seem to be the problem.
"ipchains -L -v" reports 0 packets and 0 bytes denied for forwarding (i.e.
all were masq'ed). As for the whole DNS thing, I have tried setting my
Win98 machine to use the ISP dns IPs and have tried setting up my linux box
as a forwarding name server and pointing my Win98 box to it for DNS. Both
produced identical results. Has anyone on this list succefully set up IP
MASQ with Media One's Road Runner cable modem service?
Thanks,
Bob
