I've got a small home LAN with a FreeBSD box serving as Internet
gateway, DNS, and print server for another FreeBSD host and a Win2000
host. Now I'm trying to set up an NT host to use the same services,
but I've come to a problem I can't solve.
I've got the 3Com Ethernet card working properly. I can ping e.g.
www.freebsd.org from the NT host via the Unix gateway. DNS works;
I can nslookup www.freebsd.org from the NT host, or nslookup the
NT host from another host on the LAN. Traceroute and tracert work
fine. However, I can't use the
Unix host as an Internet gateway (e.g. for http) or as a print
server from the NT host.
C:\>lpq -S sten.alder.net -P lp
returns
sten.alder.net: lpd: hostname for your address (7.7.7.4) unknown:
no address associated with hostname
sten is the server at 7.7.7.1. lp is the print queue. gylne is the
NT host at 7.7.7.4.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
