Hello Redhat list: I recently discovered through trial and error and a few visits to netcraft.com that I cannot resolve the names of servers running a Windows operating system through my bellsouth.net dsl connection.
I'm using Redhat 7.3 and connecting through a Draytek router which connects to a USB modem. The Draytek spoofs bellsouth into thinking it is talking to a Win machine. I realized this weekend after trying to connect to my insurance company's website, then failing to connect to barnesandnoble.com that something was amiss when I could connect to those sites using the win machine in another room. I also cannot receive ads from doubleclick.net (what a shame!), but I do get a pesky dialog every few minutes at wired.com letting me know that I can't resolve ads.doubleclick.net. This is what I know: the Blue Cross Blue Shield site uses Bellsouth's servers running Windows 98, bn.com runs Windows 2000 server and ad.doubleclick.net runs Windows 2000 server. I also found a couple of other sites which I cannot resolve -- all running Windows 2000 server. Every site which I cannot connect to uses a Windows product. I have not encountered this problem with any site running Unix or Linux or Solaris. I've tried several browsers including Netscape 6.1, Mozilla .9, and the Konquerer packaged with Redhat 7.3. Has anyone ever heard of this kind of problem. Is it a case of the Curse of Clippy because I deep-sixed Office. :-) Cheers, Susan -- Liftime member of the Triode Guild -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
