Home Networking Question

[Warren Togami]

Can you post your ipchains script?

It sounds like a DNS problem.  If NAT is configured properly you should be
able to configure your Windows clients behind the Linux box with the same
DNS settings as the Linux box itself.  All requests will simply be routed
through the Linux box.  It works seemlessly for me.
