DNS conifguration problem!!

[irky_blue_stone]

1)yes other PC's are connected to the internet...i.e when we set the proxy server as 192.168.0.36(it is the IP of the PC to which the phone cable is directly plugged)

2)NO i dont think theres any DNS server running

3)Windows XP...is the OS of that PC

[SilentRage]

alright, then let's try this again.

route del default gw 192.168.0.24
route add default gw 192.168.0.36
ping 216.239.32.10

[irky_blue_stone]

Show me the results for the following command on 192.168.0.36:

route PRINT

Is XP running some sort of NAT software or proxy software or something to that effect? If so, what is it called?

[irky_blue_stone]

yes he has installed "winproxy" on his XP machine....


route PRINT on 192.168.0.36 give the followin

I think I give up man. I have no experience with using a PC as a router. This may be WinProxy's fault - that maybe the packets ARE leaving the mandrake PC, but packets can't make it back.

This much I do know for sure. If you can't ping a domain like "www.google.com" then it may be a dns problem or network problem. If you can't ping an IP address like "216.239.32.10" then it is NOT a dns problem and is completely a network problem.

[razan]

can u add the DNS provided by ur ISP in the /etc/resolve.conf
and try to connect to the internet.

Hi guys..

I have the same trouble with the DNS as irki_blue_stone...but in my case I'm trying the next example:

http://langfeldt.net/DNS-HOWTO/BIND-9/DNS-HOWTO-3.html

I have already gotten the next result correctly:

$ dig -x 127.0.0.1

;; Got answer:

but not the next one
dig cs.mty.itesm.mx

I got the same problem:

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> cs.mty.itesm.mx
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached


I'm working inside a campus and I have an IP address asigned dynamically (DHCP)

[SilentRage]

Next time don't post in somebody elses topic. I seriously doubt you are having the same problem as the other guy did. Just because 2 people sneeze doesn't mean they've both got a cold.

I want to see the results for the following command:

dig +norec cs.mty.itesm.mx

[jirc2000]

Thank you man...I created another post for my specific problem

The result for the command that you requested is on " Caching Only DNS problem"
