Let me try to be quick here.
I'm using floppyfw with DHCP and IP masq. I have my DSL modem attached to the floppyfw machine. It is successfully establishing a connection on boot. I can ping various web sites from that floppyfw machine through the cable modem. DHCP is successfully working as well - it's assigning an IP address to my Windows 98 machine.
So now that I have the floppyfw system working properly, I'm trying to browse the Internet through my Windows 98 client. I set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1 (the IP address of the floppyfw machine) in the TCP/IP properties for the network card. In those same TCP/IP properties under the DNS tab, I added verizon.net as the domain and the two name server IP addresses I use with verizon. I reboot, go to a dos box, type 'ping xyz.com' and I get the standard host not found message.
The floppyfw and the win98 machine can ping one another, so I don't believe it's a cabling issue. The win98 machine is being assigned an IP address by the floppyfw DHCP. I just can't get 98 to access the net.
Any thoughts? I'm new to all this so please let me know if there's any other information I should be providing. I have read over a lot of docs, and as far as I can tell, I'm doing everything right.
