Presently, I use a linux box as a gateway/firewall through which my three
Windows boxes access the internet. This linux machine runs diald and
dialmon.
When I start Netscape, etc. on a Windows box (which causes diald to dial
out), Netscape always returns a "could not resolve" or "timed out" error
on the initializing request. However, when I make a Netscape request
sometime in the middle of diald's dial out, this first request succeeds.
I'm guessing that there's a problem with some kind of timeout here. Is it
in Netscape or on the linux box? I've already modified /etc/resolv.conf
to include my nameserver 3 times, and I'm echoing a 7 to the ip_dynaddr
sysctl. Also, on the Windows boxes, TCP/IP is configured to include the
nameserver 3 times.
If the problem is on the linux box, does anyone know of a way to correct
it? I read an earlier message on this list about how buffered packets
work with some ISPs and not others, but that doesn't seem to cover this
semi-functional case.
