DHCP and routing to the WEB

by shanghai sam . Updated 24 years, 7 months ago

Dear Sirs,
I’m in the process of changing the TCP/IP from static to DHCP. We have small network with about 20 clients. There are two NT servers and two Linux Servers on the NET. On one of the Linux server (RedHat 7.0) we have two NIC’s, where one is connected to a CISCO 1700 that has a fixed IP address. We have been assigned with a small range of IP addresses. This Linux server acts as a firewall where we are masqurading the our internal net from the outside. This is working quite well. I’m now starting to set up the DHCP server, on the Windows NT 4.0 sp6. Every thing seems to be workin quite well, but I’m not able to browse the web any more. I’m able to ping different servers on the outside. The internal network is working working quite well. When using IE 4.0 I’ll get this error message on screen:
cannot find’???p:///???p://www. and so on’
I’ve not setup a DNS / WINS server on the internal network, but has a link to the public DNS as previusly used in the static setup.
Would appreciate inputs how to correct this error in my DHCP setting.
