Hi, I have been struggling with the changeover from Cox@home to Cox.net in the past week and I have hit a cross-roads. I need assistance with troubleshooting some DNS issues that I'm having.
I'm running RH 7.1 with IPmasquerading and IPCHAINS. My problems are as follows: 1) Cox now requires DHCP, so I shifted eth0 to DHCP and it picks up the address just fine and the DNS servers. But they also issue dynamic hostnames with every lease. So in their literature they say that you can use anything for hostname. But if I do, then I can't resolve my hostname when I bootup...I fixed this by changing the hosts file to resolve my current hostname to my current address. But what happens when the address changes....I'm hosed again. 2) My internal clients cannot access the support.cox.net site at all. I think that this has something to do with the fact that they are masq'd and they have different domain suffixes? maybe... 3) internal clients can't access Mail. I think for the same reason listed above. They can ping the server, but are denied access, even when I put the fixed IP of the mail server into the box. 4)DNS confuses the hell out of me and I can't get my mind around the problem. any help would be appreciated. thanks Carl "He who has not first laid his foundations, may with great ability, lay them afterwards, but they will be laid with trouble to the architect and a danger to the building." - Machiavelli _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
