IP MASQ help?

[kamuran2]

Ok, I've been going through the IP MASQ HOWTO at http://members.home.net/ipmasq/howto/beta/c-html/index.html. I went through it and set up my MASQ server (Server is running Redhat 7.1). The internet works on the server, but the internal clients can't connect to web sites (clients are running Windows 98).

Here's what I've solved from my troubleshooting:
The LAN is working fine, cause the clients can "see" the server, and vice versa.
One strange thing is that when the server is connected to the internet, MSN messenger could connect from the clients (AOL messenger and other programs like Half-life couldn't connect).
I also I pinged the external IP of the server from the client, and it got a response, but I couldn't ping sites such as msn.com or aol.com.


K, I think that's about it... If you have experience with IP MASQ, I could use some help. Thanks.

HI! Your problem could be on the config of the windows or /etc/serviçes, in the windows you must activate the DNS and specify your dns server and you must put the ip of the port of connection<ip of your pc that makes routing, probebly it's 192.168.1.254, something like this) and you must check in /etc/services if the http-rman(i think) must be disable, just put # before the line, and this should be enought, of course that i'am presuming that you have your routing configured. But check this steps it could be the resolution to your services.
