Hi folks, Ok..running 8.1 here,using the box as a proxy (squid),at present trying to connect another box (also 8.1). I can ping the proxy (& vice versa) but can't surf thru it (dns?).
X does not start auto. So I enter my login info & enter the command to start x. All well up TO this point. Now however, after entering the command, I see a message "host name lookup failure". Then x starts as planned. Now as I look thru my stuff..I see the hostname in all the places it's supposed to be ( I think..lol ). Just not sure how to fix this issue..and whether it's contributing to my inability to get this box to proxy. There may very well be issues with squid that is causing this..but if I could get this message to go away..I'd sure feel better :-) fwiw..getting (unknown host) when i try to surf. Also I just noticed that when I do a "whereis" for lisa --kde2,it finds it,,but nmblookup is a command that cannot be found. Furthermore when in drakconf,and Itry to start "named"..aka bind..I get a failed message (x-tra command line arguments). not sure if it has anything to do with what I'm trying to do,as I'm thinking this may be a web thing,but if I can ping but not surf,that would be a dns issue..correct ? Thank you all very much for your time. I'm sorry for the long post,just trying to be complete :-) Lee
