You mentioned that your MS Proxy was running Socks.
Are routing services turned off? Could you route to the Linux box?
I.E. Find some way to give Linux direct access to the internet by utilizing
routing...
If the NT machine only provides access via socks your might be SOL. I'm
unaware of a viable socks client for Linux...
Re:DNS
Socks clients will normally rely on the Socks host to handle resolution
requests, either directly or by forwarding them on up to a full DNS. It's no
surprize that Linux cannot resolve since it is not able to talk to the Socks
host.
Logging in via Samba is not going to help you with this if the system is
hamstrung by Socks.

Agreeably so, but at the moment I am forced to go through the NT machine. I
got samba up and running without a hitch, in fact my boss was amazed that in
37 minutes I had done a complete install of MD7.2, had it up on the network
and printing through the NT server. Now if I could just get it on the net
they would be sold on Linux forever.
Another small bit of info is that the Linux box does not resolve names or
get an active ping outside of the network.
Thanks,
