Ray, This appears to have been a DNS setup problem on my part. After working through your e-mail, I went back and reread "Chapter 3. Using dnsmasq" of the Bering-uClib User's guide. I had not followed the directions in "3.5 Using dnsmasq with ppp/pppoe".
The Shorewall "Basic Two-Interface Firewall" guide has not been updated for Bering users using dnsmasq.lrp: http://www.shorewall.net/two-interface.htm#id2502019 "You can configure a Caching Name Server on your firewall. Red Hat� has an RPM for a caching name server (the RPM also requires the bindRPM) and for Bering users, there is dnscache.lrp. If you take this approach, you configure your internal systems to use the firewall itself as their primary (and only) name server. You use the internal IP address of the firewall (10.10.10.254 in the example above) for the name server address. To allow your local systems to talk to your caching name server, you must open port 53 (both UDP and TCP) from the local network to the firewall; you do that by adding the following rules in /etc/shorewall/rules." #ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S) AllowDNS loc fw Based on this, I turned off "Obtain DNS server address automatically" on my Windows XP workstation in network TCP/IP properties and set the system to use the internal IP address of the firewall as the primary and only named server (192.168.1.254). This seeems to work and I am able to "surf the web", although I do not know if this is the best way to set up the DNS server address. I also tried "Obtain DNS server address automatically" and this appeared to work as well. Suggestions would be appreciated. [Note: In Bering-uClib 2.2, /etc/shorewall/rules appears to have a line that opens port 53 for UDP but not for TCP, as recommended above for dnscache.lrp.] I ran ipconfig /all: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : parent Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : private.network Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 3: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : private.network Description . . . . . . . . . . . : NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-0E-A6-6F-9F-7C Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Saturday, September 18, 2004 11:07:3 0 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Sunday, September 19, 2004 11:07:30 AM I will let the system run overnight and see what happens.
