Hi everybody,
I' m using a linux (RH5) box as a Samba server and gateway plus a cisco
router to access internet via ISDN.
My linux box address is 192.168.1.1. From the windows boxes I want to
use the linux as a file and printing server as well as a gateway to the
internet.
On the windows clients I've set up TCP/IP static addresses to be
192.168.1.x , I disabled WINS, and configured the gateway address to
192.168.1.1. Now I've got a problem with DNS configuration:
-If I disable DNS I don't have any access to the outside world but all
local services work well.
-If I activate DNS and enter the DNS address of my provider (a "real"
internet address), access to remote and local servers via any protocol
work well (which makes me think that my linux box routing table and ip
forwarding are correct) BUT when I make local requests with telnet for
example (telnet linuxbox) the router first dials up ... asks the
providers DNS to resolve name ... fails and return... resolve the name
localy and succeeds !
I tried to add the server name and IP address in the hosts.sam and
lmhosts.sam files under windows directory without any success.
Do I have to set up DNS on my linux box or can I simply configure my
windows clients to do normal name resolution : lookup hosts file BEFORE
asking nameserver !
Thanks,
bruno
