Hi Dan,
AFAIK, you do need to specify your DNS server, whilst this is
automatically done under MS Windows.
This is done by having the line:
nameserver <ip address of DNS server>
in your /etc/resolv.conf
HTH...

Subject: [SLUG] Dial-in Server
Hi,
I have setup a Linux box as a dial-in server. When I dial-in and connect
from my windows machine I cannot view web pages or send/receive email. I
can however connect to the machine using a SSH session so I know the
connect
is there and working.
This must be something to do with the DNS settings. On the TCP/IP
properties of the dial-in connection in Windows I have both the "Obtain an
IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".
My
question is do I have to set these values? Should I enter the same DNS IP
addresses in the Windows settings as those in the resolv.conf file on the
Linux box? Also should I be entering in an IP address in the "Use the
following IP address" - which is what it masquerades as on the network,
right?
Can anyone help.
Dan
