Can't resolve DNS through IP MASQERADING

Amir · 09-12-2003, 02:34 PM

I am very very close to getting my ip masquerading to work. This is my setup:

www
|
eth0
|
Linux PC
|
eth1
|
Win XP

Now, i used the HOWTO for IP MASQ for ip tables and i am able to ping outside ip, but i can't ping the host. For example i can't ping www.yahoo.com but i can ping (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx thats for www.yahoo.com). Can anyone help me resolve this issue? I'm using redhat 9. If you can give a step by step answer, that would help, i'm new to linux.

thanks in advance.
