Hi! I have already asked this question before and got a few answers that i am very thankful for, they got me in the right direction but i donīt get it to work. Itīs a pain. Here is my problem: I have a small LAN with a couple of Win95 machines and a FreeBSD box running the 2.2.7 realese wich i use as a Samba server aswell as a Gateway to the internet via user ppp(dynamic IP) with the -auto -alias switches. The problem is that when i want to conect to a samba share it triggers the modem to dial and as far as i can see itīs DNS lookups that causes it? Is this a paradox? If i use packet filtering to prevent the dns lookup packages that triggers the dialup, i canīt rech the internet from the win95 boxes!? Here is an example of logging tun0 with bpf (the win95 box IP addres 192.168.1.6): 09:19:39.409585 192.168.1.6.netbios-ns > my ISPīs nameserver.domain: 19+ A?MYDOMAIN.mydomain. (41) 09:19:40.080166 10.0.0.1.domain > 202.12.27.33.domain: 64940 (43) 09:19:40.916258 192.168.1.6.netbios-ns > ......... I have tried to install a caching name server (on the FreeBSD box) but iīm not to sure that it is configuerd the right way. What am i doing wrong? Many thanks!
