I'm going slowly insane....... I cannot get my windows boxes to reach the net through my linux box (gateway) Using wvdial.dod. Windows boxes are 192.168.0.2 and .3. Linux is 192.168.0.1 and I use that IP in windows as the gateway IP. In windows I put my ISP's nameservers for DNS. Only iffy part is what do I put for host and domain? When this all worked before, I put linuxbox as host and used its domain, but I have tried all combos this time around. Yes, IP forwarding is set in rc.config. I am truly at a loss. Windows boxes initiate the modem on linuxbox and connect, but are dead in the water. Linuxbox reaches the 'net fine and all machines can ping each other and also exchange files. This is nuts, it all came together so easily before. I am using 6.4 . Thanks a million. -- TRBishop tb64710@ltec.net RLU#12043 SuSE6.4

Just a thought, do you need to use a proxy for the dial-up to your ISP?

Host should be the name of the windows computer and domain should be the same
one that you use on your linux box. Gateway should be the linux box. DNS
should be Your ISP's. And you should disable WINS and DHCP. Unless you use them.
Also check to make sure you not using a proxy for your windows box unless you
really use one.

Put the domain on the gateway machine to that of the ISP's domain. Host can be anything. Actually, nameserver configuration is probably the most important part.
The winblows machines use the gateway address, which you got right, also they should have there own unique host on the same domain.
Got it work to work through DSL and its sweet. Just wish the primary nameserver would work though.
