I don't know anything about NT, but can't you give it your ISP's nameservers and tell it to use the Linux box as a gateway? > Perhaps there is some other simple fix like showing named to my nt box > but not to my linux box.

Just take 127.0.0.1 out of /etc/resolv.conf and put your ISP's nameservers in. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
