Topic: gateway set-up

[Henry]

I'm using e-smith ver 4.0 b6 and 5 win 95b clients all linked in a 10base t w/ a hub. I have file and print servers set up and running well. My question is the settings for using the gateway service.

Netwok card set-up:

ip addresses 192.168.1.2.....6
netmask 255.255.255.0
wins off
dns set-up:
name  "computer name"
domain  e-smith domain name  i.e. homenet.net
gateway 192.168.1.1  (e-smith box address)
tcp/ip set as default protocol


The modem is jumpered and matches the irq set up in the e-smith config routine.
dial-up config is set up correctly

When I load netscape, I get a "dns not found" error. No connection to the server. Am I missing some setting?

Thanks for your help.............

    Sounds like you've set up the computers manually, but didn't give them the address for a DNS server.  The e-smith system will provide that service, or you can just use your ISP's servers.  You might be better off setting your machines to obtain an IP address automatically--then the e-smith box will configure them correctly using DHCP (assuming you have it enabled; I think it's on by default).
