I can ping the computer and the computer can ping.
Well I have setup a computer oddly its also Fedore 7 as a router. I have four other windows computers and they seem to get online fine. Is there a winsock fix tool that removes everything, to add it back. I am using firestarter to get on line and the windows boxes seem to like it. but it seems as just as soon as I install this computer it hated me lol.
dsl modem (self pppoe )> Fedore 7(router aka the computer I am on now) > gigbit switch > < LAN windows xp, windows 2000, windows xp, windows ME , Fodore 7.
Okay fine the ME computer I have not turn on in months lol
Well I have tried change in DNS address to see if that helped. no luck then I entered in 64.233.167.99 (aka google.com) in Firefox. but that did not work. I can get on my web server, web min. ftp servers on it and the remote computers. .
PS: the Computer wants to be a server and hates its clients. lol
I should say I am using Firestarter. and that my windows computers are getting online just fine. I would think that install ssomething like that would mess up firestarter.
the default route is working for this machine so it knows how to handle unknown addresses but the odd think is that the ip_forwarding on the 86.28 is working cause it know where to send the packets to the next hop.
Well the think is it too a long time to replay the late line and to think that the gateway ip was not right. I don't get. what would cause system-config-network to run slow? by the way I changed that last number . its not that I don't tusrt you. its that this in not a private post. thank you for your help.
