I am trying to setup IP MASQ on a home network. I am running Potato. I have the server which we will call C1 and one client which we will call C2. I have setup C1 for caching DNS. I have also setup C1 for IP Masquarading. I am having problems getting C2 to connect to the internet using names such as 'www.debian.org' although it can connect with '209.81.8.242'. This leads me to believe that this is a DNS problem and not a IP Masq problem (correct?). When I start 'nslookup' I get:
Default Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 and I can lookup domain names. Now, according to the DNS HOWTO I have a properly functioning 'caching DNS'. In my 'resolv.conf' file on C2 I have: nameserver 10.254.2.1 which is the address for my server. Why is my 'caching DNS' not working on C2? I am not certain what other information to include that might help in this problem and I try to keep my emails short. The only other information I can offer is that I can Telnet and FTP from C1 to C2 but I can only FTP and cannot Telnet from C2 to C1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Lance
