I've set up a simple network that runs the Sygate NAT on a Window95 machine. All my other
windows clients have no problem using the Sygate gateway for cable modem internet access. However,
I can't get my Linux client DNS working properly. KC-Roadrunner uses DHCP for the DNS server ip,
so it's not a static value that I can set for the nameserver in linux. Following the sygate
instructions I set the nameserver & gateway as 192.168.0.1 on the client machine. The Linux client
can ping the gateway and external numeric addresses, but I get 'Unknown Host' errors if I use a
name address.
I've looked at every FAQ and web page that I can find on this and still no luck. Has anyone set
up this combination and got it working? Thanx in advance for any help.
