Hi All,

I have a Fedora 11 Server which act like a Internet gateway for our LAN. I have my own iptables andt squid. We daily starts up & shuts down the server. Since last few days I am facing a unique problem. When we starts the server we are able to brows the Internet on the Server but from the client machine we are unable to do so but we can ping any internet sites/Static IP from the Client machines. After 2-5 times of startup and shutdown of the Server. We are able to browse internet from the client machine.

So I have written to this forum what may be the problem ?

If it exists then the line should look like the one given below-

If it doesn't exist, then add the line.

On the terminal type (as root)-

Thanks for the reply.

But that is not the problem. That Line is already exist there.
