[plug] DNS

[Robert Andrews]

Hi thanks for the help fellas
Yes I think you are right about the windows machine I have a windows machine
at my workshop (XP)
that is on my wireless network I enabled Internet shareing on that comp so
that it could
route packets between its wlan card and its ethernet card that the other 2
windows 98 machines
are on.
Haveing read some info on XP internet shareing it assigns by default the
address 192.168.0.1 to its bridgeing device
however after allowing internet conection shareing I manually changed these
address to 192.168.3 on.
This still does not match 192.168.1.1 however it is windows and who knows
I will have to wait till tomorrow so I cant shut it down to see if the prob
gos.
And yes my Linux box is the gateway for my other comps.

Regards Bob Andrews.

Since you're getting a netbios port showing in tcpdump, presumably it's
something to do with Samba and/or Windows PCs on your network.  Is it a
response
to a prior query from the smb network - a workgroup membership thing maybe.
Run
tcpdump with no arguments to see what else is out there (may have to pull
the
plug on some machines so you're not inundated with traffic?)

Why do you have a ppp0 network port anyway?  Are you the gateway for your
radio
LAN?  Isn't that where the IP address config is?
