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. |=20 | 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=20 | fine. However, I can't use the | Unix host as an Internet gateway (e.g. for http)=20 Install a proxy server (Squid) on the Unix box, then tell Microsuck Internet Explorer to use that box as proxy on port 3128 (default). | 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. Did you setup the file called /etc/hosts ?? There is a sample - just add entries for your LAN machines. Also you have to setup Samba on that box so that you can share any printers attached to it with Winblows boxes. You may also wish to run a caching DNS server on that box, maybe. -Wash S y s t e m s A d m i n i s t r a t o r -- ~\\_ =20 Odhiambo Washington \\\\ =20 Wananchi Online Ltd., `\\\\\ =20 1st Flr Loita Hse, Loita Street |\\\\\ =20 PO Box 10286,00100-NAIROBI,KE. \\\\\|__.--~~\ =20 Fax: 254 2 313985-9 _--~ / =20 Fax: 254 2 313922 /~ ////// _-~~~~' =20 E-mail: wash@wananchi.com ('-//////-// =20 URL : http://www.wananchi.com //////(((-) =20 GSM: 254 72 743 223 / 254 733 744 121 /////" =20 _///" =20 +++ If bankers can count, how come they have eight windows and only four tellers? --ibTvN161/egqYuK8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE755UVn7LIsuxjem8RAoEuAJ92ityovYXsNzmuYWVBBu4IxWQvmgCfc8Mj D5XP4KSkHgLjtFxrNDcMUew= =1IOZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ibTvN161/egqYuK8-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
