Hi, Guys:

Guess it might be a stupid question, but been struggling with this for days. Would appreciate if someone can work me through.

Got a Linux box + Win2K (workstation). Wanted to setup a local network using a router. After install RH8, the 2 machine can ping each other OK with IP (192.168.100.1, 192.168.100.10). But not able to use domain name "rrr.com"

I wanted to run DNS, ftp, Web server in the Linux box, but since I was so frustrated with RH8's graphic tools (I had them run with Redhat 7.0), I'm almost giving up.

Thank you very much for any comment you have.

There is excellent documentation that details all of the things you want to do. Here are some links:
