The error messages have not changed, at least as far as meaning is concerned. They both indicate that your DNS configuration is invalid or non-functional. What DNS server are your windows boxes using? Is it reachable to them given your network configuration? Try pinging an IP address rather than a hostname, such as 68.142.226.37 (one of Yahoo's servers) and see if that works. If it does, then you've got a DNS issue. If it doesn't then, your problem is much deeper. How are you configuring the network parameters for your windows machines? DHCP? Manually? -- SNMP -- Security Not My Problem. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
