Hi all

I am a new linux user , i have got a LAN of 5 computers. 4 workstations running windows 98,2000 & XP. The server machine is running linux redhat and has an external us robotics modem connected to it . The other computers connect to the internet through the server. Workstations were meant to connect on demand. As of lately my workstations cannot connect to the internet. I am able to ping the server from workstations , but cannot ping an internet site. I am able to ping internet sites at my server ( during ping the modem dials and is ligths of modem show that it is connected ) still workstations cannot connect to the internet even if server is connected.

has this worked in the past?
what version og Red Hat?

This network has been working fine . In fact i am supporting a couple of networks that have got a linux server with windows workstations . But most of the other networks have got ISDN's and leased lines

The server is running Redhat 2.7

or 7.2?

how internet sharing is configured?

NAT or Proxy?

its proxy

Thanks for your assistance . I have managed to solve the problem, the problem was that the squid directory was full so i deleted some files to give space and it worked .
