Hi,

I have setup a Linux box as a dial-in server.  When I dial-in and connect
from my windows machine I cannot view web pages or send/receive email.  I
can however connect to the machine using a SSH session so I know the connect
is there and working.

This must be something to do with the DNS settings.  On the TCP/IP
properties of the dial-in connection in Windows I have both the "Obtain an
IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".  My
question is do I have to set these values?  Should I enter the same DNS IP
addresses in the Windows settings as those in the resolv.conf file on the
Linux box?  Also should I be entering in an IP address in the "Use the
following IP address" - which is what it masquerades as on the network,
right?

Can anyone help.

Dan
