Hi all, here is my problem.

I have Redhat 9 running. My network is setup as follows. Cable modem connected to a Linksys router with a number of PCs and the one Linux server on the internal LAN. I managed to get the modem working, then I got ppp and the dialin part working on the Linux Server. Then when I tried to do an NSLookup from the dialin PC I kept getting an error, so I setup DNS internally on the Linux box (or so I thought).

Linksys Router is 192.168.1.1
Linux server is 192.168.1.150
Dialin user gets assigned 192.168.1.151

Here is the problem. I dial in to the server and get connected fine, I can even ping all of my internal IP addresses and external internet addresses. On a PC on the internal LAN, I can use the Linux DNS server to resolve names. But the PC that is dialed in can't seem to get to the DNS server using NSLookup, even though I can ping the Linux box which is the DNS/Dialin server.

I can't think of anything else to check. Here is the message the dialin PC gets when running NSLookup.

*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.150: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.150

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.

*** Request to UnKnown timed-out

Thanks in advance for any help,
