Cannot find server

[graydon]

I just recently had to reinstall my RH9 system everything works fine now but dns on my windows box. All required modules for nat are enabled, and all original seetings I had on my windows box have remained unchanged.

I'm able to ping to localhost, the gateway ip, and my static ip from the windows machine. And able to ping from linux to windows.

Any help appreciated

Make you sure your have your ISP's DNS in your /etc/resolv.conf

It should look something like this:

nameserver ip

Yup got my isp's DNS set both in /etc/resolv.conf and dns section on windows. no luck

Could you describe your network in more detail please? What you posted is a little short on those specifics.

my linux box is setup as the gateway router with 2 nic cards
eth0 and eth1. eth0 holding the lease from my isp. eth1 I have given a class c ip of 192.168.1.1 which is the gateway address I've always used on my windows box without any trouble. My windows machine was given an address of 192.168.1.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 which corresponds with the subnet of eth1.

No troubles before. Nor with dns until today. I've checked double checked and triple checked all my dns settings on both machines and everything is exact.

As for pinging from 192.168.1.2 I can ping, 192.168.1.1, 127.0.0.1 localhost, and the ip that I'm using now 65.xx.xx.xx. I can ping from here to windows no problem.

All machines have been defined in /etc/hosts if that matters.

Here also is my ifconfig and /sbin/route output, hopefully someone can notice a problem as ics still not working for me.
