ipmasq dns problem
I have installed ipmasq as a firewall on a debian computer (Woody,
kernel 2.4.18) placed between a DSL modem and a wireless router. The
system works perfectly with the computers on the LAN using Woody or
Testing but I have been unable to use Netscape from a computer using
Windows ME. I can access the internet - i.e. I can ping internet IP
addresses and get a response. If I start Netscape and try to reach the
same addresses with domain names, Netscape times out trying to resolve
the domain name.
After lengthy cnversations with tech support I have been told that this
is because Windows expects network sharing to activated on the firewall
server. Is this true? If it is true, how do I do it?
At this point the ipmasq installation is pure vanilla.
Any suggestions short of dumping the Windows ME opperating system would
be greatly appreciated. Actually, I'd even be happy to dump Windows ME
but my grandsons would rebel.
