font-family:Arial'>I just reinstalled Fedora 5 (no GUI, and did a 206 MB yum
update) on a box I use with two NICs for my home network gateway and firewall.
The eth0 NIC is connected to a DSL modem and the eth1 NIC goes to a switch for
the LAN. DHCP is running the FC5 box for the LAN and seems to be working fine. I
use iptables for the firewall and I copied the same set of rules from the
Fedora 3 Bible except for the TCP rules for allowing access to web and ftp
stuff. (I don’t have anything running that needs to be accessed from
outside.) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>DNS, however, is not being very friendly. I can ping ip
addresses but not domains from a command line on an XP box inside the LAN. Email
seems to be coming and going somewhat OK. But websites won’t come up in
the browser. I’m fairly certain the problem is my DNS setup. nslookup on
the XP box returns “can’t find server name for address 192.168.0.1”
I can’t get the zone file updates from the W2K3 domain controller which
was working just fine before. I sure I set up the named.conf and created the
zone file for my domain just like before. (I reinstalled in the first place
because the linux box locked up and wouldn’t reboot for anything.
Hardware problem, I expect.) I also had the linux box looking first at its own
DNS before going out to the web so I could browse sites on my development
server on the LAN. My LANs domain name is not a registered name but exists just
for me inside my LAN.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Can anyone offer some typical gotchas or often overlooked
setup details that I probably missed that would likely cause these symptoms? I’ve
been reading HOW-TOs for a week and I’m just burnt out it. --
