I currently have a small network with some Win9X and WinNT clients running on it. One of the Win98 machines has Sygate 3.0 installed on it which is used to share a dial-up internet connection. The other machines simply point their default tcpip gateway and dns server at the ip address of the machine with Sygate installed it. This works perfectly with Windows clients. I attempted to get it to work with a Linux box but it won't quite work properly. Everything works except for DNS lookups. If I specify the ip address of a server somewhere out on the internet, it is routed through the Sygate machine and I connect fine. However, if I attempt to do a dns lookup (through Netscape, by pinging, it doesn't matter) I just get that their is no DNS entry for it. I made sure that the address of the DNS server (the win98 box with Sygate) is setup on the Linux box. The Sygate box even initiates a dial-up connection when the Linux box does a DNS lookup. Has anyone else ever seen this configuration (that worked). I would like to implement Linux on some machines but without this I will be unable to continue. Thanks for any suggestions.
