[OLUG] failures

[John Williams]

Ok.  I have been listening to this post since it started.  I have the same
problem with RH 6.1 but my situation is a little different.  I have DSL with
a cisco 675 as my gateway.  The router uses NAT and I can get outside but
can't get name resolution.  I have also tried everything listed in this post
that applies to me with no success.  If  those of you that have been
listening to this post since the beginning have any suggestions I would
appreciate them.

By the way .....works fine with SuSE.

Thanks,

John Williams
