t 'NT-Unix network'
| I've got a small home LAN with a FreeBSD box serving as Internet
| gateway, DNS, and print server for another FreeBSD host and a Win2000
| host. Now I'm trying to set up an NT host to use the same services,
| but I've come to a problem I can't solve.
|=20
| I've got the 3Com Ethernet card working properly. I can ping e.g.
| www.freebsd.org from the NT host via the Unix gateway. DNS works;
| I can nslookup www.freebsd.org from the NT host, or nslookup the
| NT host from another host on the LAN. Traceroute and tracert work=20
| fine. However, I can't use the
| Unix host as an Internet gateway (e.g. for http)=20
Install a proxy server (Squid) on the Unix box, then tell Microsuck
Internet Explorer to use that box as proxy on port 3128 (default).
| or as a print
| server from the NT host.
| C:\>lpq -S sten.alder.net -P lp
| returns
| sten.alder.net: lpd: hostname for your address (7.7.7.4) unknown:
| no address associated with hostname
| sten is the server at 7.7.7.1. lp is the print queue. gylne is the
| NT host at 7.7.7.4.
Did you setup the file called /etc/hosts ??
There is a sample - just add entries for your LAN machines.
Also you have to setup Samba on that box so that you can share any
printers attached to it with Winblows boxes.
You may also wish to run a caching DNS server on that box, maybe.
