[newbie] Internet problems

[Tom H]

I have hooked up my Linux (Red Hat 6.1) to the DSL 
I am running Ip Masqurading on the system and it is routing to the internet for 
the other 4 systems. The strange thing is I am unable to astablish a connection 
to some web sites that use security. Or various other sites. If I connect it 
directly to the 98 or NT machine I can hit them fine with no problems. What am I 
missing.

 Do you have the addresses for your name servers on your isp?  The
 easiest way to enter them is to go into linuxconf, network, client, dns
 and put in what they give you.
 
 
 

[newbie] DSL problems

[Tom H]

I have DSL and I am trying to set it up for my 
gateway to the internet. Also I would like to have it be my firewall. I 
currently have Pac Bell and it came with the Alcatel external modem. I have got 
it to the point where it will dial up and when I run ifconf I get this reading






This 
tells me I am getting connected to the internet. The problem is when I open the 
browser I get an error saying:

Warning: 
the following hosts are unknown:

blah
blah

This 
means that some or all hosts will be unreachable.

Perhaps the problem is with the name server? If your site must 
use a non-root name server, you will need to set the$SOCKS_NS environment 
variable to point at the appropriate name server. It may (or may not) be 
necessary to set this variable, or the SOCKS host preference, to the ip address 
of the host in question rather than its name.


I have looked for any info on this and an unable to find any 
help. Please point me in the right direction. Or tell me what I am 
missing.
