Jim! Solution 1 does not work because as you correctly suspected our name servers are on IPs outside the NS Proxy server address space, and since everything is being masked by the inside network mask nothing gets out. (i.e the outside subnet is 132.250.x.y and the inside is 10.0.0.x) I tried Solution 2. checked the resolve.conf (which inherits from the DHCP server the 10.0.0.2 address that is the Proxy/DHCPserver/SBSserver machine) When the same machine boots on the W2K side IE sees everything OK! I suspect that it has to do wit the SOCKS or Winsock settings. When I enable the Web Proxy setup on the USSE client and select "Use Proxy"/"Automatically detected script file" the behavior is the same. When a select "Use Proxy"/"Manually Specified Settings"HTTP:http://10.0.0.2:1080" I get the message Connection to host www.kde.org is broken as well as all internal 10.0.0.x addresses on Konqueror. Does any of this give you any ideas? Thank you immensely for the help. -jm

I am in the process of justifying with my group why we should switch to SUSE and I am pretty newbbie at LINUX as it has evolved the last five years. --snip--
From my suse client (which gets its IP from the DHCP server that also runs on the same 10.0.0.2 machine) I can ping all 10.0.0.x addresses and access all web servers as long as I use IPs (not DNS names) within

However, when I try to access (through Konqueror) outside sites I get the errors: " Uknown Host xxxxx " (regardless of whether the web proxy is disabled or enabled in the KDE control center)
Clearly you aren't getting DNS service. Solution 1: handcraft /etc/resolv.conf to point to the real DNS server (numeric address). Example:
nameserver 127.0.0.1 options timeout:2 attempts:2 search cft.ca.us math.ucla.edu
Of course you probably will have a nameserver on a different machine, not on localhost like I have.
Solution 2: Make sure that the "DHCP may modify resolv.conf" checkbox is turned on, in network configuration for your card. Make sure that the DHCP server is passing out the correct IP address of the DNS server (review what it gave you in /etc/resolv.conf). Make sure that the DNS server can access the wide world -- can MSIE on your Windows machines see web sites that your linux box can't? Fix M$ screwups in this area -- I assume the M$ machine is the DHCP server, and it *ought* to know where the M$ DNS server (active directory) is located.
Solution 2 is best on a laptop that connects on various networks. At UCLA-Mathnet we statically configure servers and desktop machines that aren't supposed to be moved around (solution 1).
Hope this helps. I hope you make a sale at NRL.
