If the DNS seems to be the problem (according to the message) then the first todo is to debug DNS settings. On Windows you can check the proper DNS with ipconfig /all command and check whether DNS is properly set or not. Another debug solution can be to insert LOG rules at the end of the script iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG --log-prefix iptables-forward iptables -A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix iptables-input then with checking the log you can see what is dropped. But be careful. There can be a lot of log lines. But for debugging it can be a good solution. Usually it is worth to create a junk chain and drop a lot of known packets without logging (of course only if you know they are really junk) -- --- Friczy --- 'Death is not a bug, it's a feature' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
