Title: Network connection problems
Post by: vc001 on July 10, 2006, 08:56:04 PM

Hi, i am new to linux. i have an internet connection problem.
i want to set up an test network before to try squid, my network setup is

linux box:
eth0: 10.0.10.200/24 - this network connects to the main server.
eth1: 192.168.1.1/24 - connects to a win2k system.

currently i configured BIND using webmin, also set this machine as a NS.

and this machine has a host "srv-1.testnetwork.local"

Win2k machine:
one network card, ip is 192.168.1.2/24
it points to 192.168.1.1 for in the dns and gateway setting.

it has the host of "test2k.testnetwork.local"


so far, i can surf the internet from the linux machine, and able to ping test2k.testnetwork.local, and domains on the internet eg google.com


but on the win2k system, i only can ping "srv-1.testnetwork.local" and ip of 10.0.10.200, not any other valid ips in the 10.0.10.0/24 network and ips/domains on the internet.

however, when i using nslookup in this machine, it can resolve domain names to ips, like google.com and microsoft.com.

could sone one please point out the mistake i have done or steps i missed.

thank you.

do i have to configure the linux box to use a public dns?

but in the linux it can ping domain names on the internet ok.

i thought if i set up the linux box as a ns locally and if it can not resolve then it pass (forward) to our live server 10.0.10.1, and so on.


thanks

I think for that ur DNS should act as a forwarder..
