ip masqed redhat linux 9 cannot browse and trouble configuring printer to samba


Systems:
1. Redhat linux 9
eth0 -> USB -> Motorola SB5100 surfboard -> ISP
hostname=mofiddpc ip=DHCP

eth1 -> D-Link 538-TX NIC -> D-Link Switch
hostname=mofiddpc ip=192.168.0.1

lp0 -> Epson Stylus C41SX

2. Dual boot:
Redhat linux 9
eth0 -> D-Link 538-TX NIC -> D-Link Switch
hostname=ronapc
ip=192.168.0.2 gateway=192.168.0.1 domain=link.net.id
dns1=202.137.3.120 dns2=202.137.3.121

Windows 98 SE
TCP/IP -> D-Link 538-TX NIC -> D-Link Switch
hostname=ronapc
ip=192.168.0.2 gateway=192.168.0.1 domain=link.net.id
dns1=202.137.3.120 dns2=202.137.3.121 sufix=mofiddpc

3. Windows 98 SE Arabic
TCP/IP -> onboard NIC -> D-Link Switch
hostname=mfa
ip=192.168.0.3 gateway=192.168.0.1 domain=link.net.id
dns1=202.137.3.120 dns2=202.137.3.121 sufix=mofiddpc

Question:
1. I have found something odd with my home network. Windows 98 in system 2 and 3 can access the internet. But Redhat linux 9 in system 2 can't. How can i fix Redhat linux 9 in system 2, so it can access the internet?
I don't think suffix working yet since i haven't configure DNS server in system 1.
2. How to share printer in system 1 through samba? I don't know the path to spool. I've tried this:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -h mofiddpc -p StylusC41SX -u allow:all
lpadmin: add-printer failed: server-error-service-unavailable

i've been working with my network for 1 month, and i've been exhausted. So this is my last attempt to fix the remaining problem with my linux.

getting redhat to access internet

Sounds like a simular problem that I was having about a month ago ,
I was however able to access the web with linux sometimes , I think it eventully turned out
to be a server problem with my Internet provider , however when my provider gave me a static
Ip address I had to do something else I could have bought a router and gone from my dsl conection to my router and then to my hub where all my local network connections are.
I choose however to download a proxie server from the web (ccproxie) it was free to use for a small network i installed it on my windows pc that I wanted for my server and with alittle tinkering here and there I figured out how to configure my network proxie . I then went to my other PC's and set all my browsers to use a proxie server , Linux and windows work just fine with this windows proxie , I am
currently using windows ME and Fedora & SuSE with this server. Instant messengers work just fine
along with mozilla & netscape I do miss my news ticker (there was no proxie configuration built into it) I am sure I could have done this using Linux as my proxie server I certainly would have preferred
that but being a newbie I am still working on it , but this was a quick solution and seemed to solve some of my internet problems . I now can access the web with about anything I throw at it including
Morphix and some other simular operating systems I also tried win98 and it had no problem either.
I hope this helps
good luck ,
Dan

I'm sorry but some of my favourite websites don't behave well behind proxy. So i'm gonna wait for the next solution. Thanks though.

A friend says to make a gateway would solve. I thought there aren't any other option beside ip masq and proxy?

in windows i noticed that the host name would be ronapc.link.net.id but why in linux both server and system 2 it's localhost.link.net.id? when i tried forcing it by writing ronapc.link.net.id in redhat-network-config hostname, there's a message like "fail to get domain link.net.id". Could be a hint?

I've discovered a new tool in redhat called SWAT. when i try around, i think i accidentally become the domain controler of link.net.id. there's a bunch of people names in samba log that aren't mine.
