I_NEED_HELP Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 At uni we are currently doing a module on system configuration and administration using redhat 9.0. The last couple of weeks we have been setting up DHCP to allocate an ip automatically to a windows 2000 machine running in vmware. after setting up dhcp we then use the host as a router to the guest by using NAT to create a gateway. Last week we had all this working fine. This week we went on to install samba to share between the guest and host operating system. We downloaded samba at the beginning of our three hour lab. Installed it all and managed to create the shares. However we then went to download a driver on the windows host and had no internet access suggesting our gateway had gone down. However we went to the linux host os and found we have no internet access. We have managed to pin down that the machine cannot access our DNS server. Our samba still works, im guessing because obviously it does not need the dns server. Now my question is why may our machine have suddenly been unable to access the dns server, it was available before samba was installed. Can anyone answer this i will not be able to acces the machine till next monday but any suggestion before hand will be grateful.
