I was correct, it was an ipchains problem. I had to add a port 53 udp entry for the ppp server ip range in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains I am not exactly sure why though.... But it is working now.

I am trying to get it to serve up PPP connection to windows clients. The whole thing works perfect in every way except that it will not pass dns traffic to remote PPP connected machines. It does not matter where the dns server is, it won't work even though I can ping the IP that the dns server is running on. I'm guessing it is an ipchains issue??? I added a line to ipchains to enable MASQ for the dialin ip range. Running winipcfg or ipconfig on the windows box shows the correct dns server as specified either on the windows machine, or by the ms-dns option on the server. I have tried 3 separate windows machines, all have the same problem. Win95, Win98, and XP all share the same problem. I can ftp, and open html pages by ip address only. No dns. I can gateway through the linux box from all the windows "network connected" machines, and dns will work. This problem only affects the ppp connected machines. Anybody run into this problem.
