Hi everyone!
Brand new Linux virgin here..... so sorry for the dumb ass questions you
will see coming from me..... but....
I have a red hat Linux box (V6) running on a NT network.... NIC is working
great... can ping my hearts content away.... (no samba config'd yet - that
is the next thing to tackle!)
everything is working good...
I'm trying to set it up so I can surf the net through our LAN...
I'm located at a remote branch that runs a 512kb frame relay to our head
office.... our DNS (MS) server is on that end....
I believe I have configured all the networking IP's correctly (IP's, subnet
masks and gateway (router).....
I have added our DNS server to my resolv.conf file in the following format:
search domain.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
So in a nut shell I can't surf the web by domain or IP....
tried a NSLOOKUP on a domain (yahoo), and it returned the following error:
Can not find server name for address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (which happens to be my
dns server): Server failed
default servers are not available
The only thing I can think of, is that maybe the IP I have assigned to the
machine has not been granted access on our firewall (which I will find out
tomorrow)... but I was wondering if I am missing something from the Linux
point of view?
Any ideas?
