Yes, I have started named in ntsysv, after some time named dies down
with the message 
FATAL: IPCACHE_init: DNS lookup tests failed

Yes, this is done , 
I have a pristige Zyxel ISDN hub which is 192.168.1.130
and on the linux machine I have two internet interfaces 
one is 192.168.1.50 and the other is 192.168.50.99
while I am able to surf the internet on the linux machine through the
ISDN Zyxel hub, if I connect any other windows machine which is on the 
other netork 192.168.50.0 , whose gateway is set to 192.168.1.99
I am not able to connect to the internet throug the isdn link.
The moment I invoke internet explorer to connect to some site say 
www.pcquest.com, the isdn hub comes up and connects outside but 
the IE gives the message server not found .
Any hint will be useful.
All the windows machine here are on dynamic ips leased by a NT server 
what all info has to be given by the dhcp which is on NT ? 
In this case who will do the name rresolution for the external addresses
as the NT server is intrnal it has only a name server which resolves internsl
addresses and the ISDN hub does point to the vsnl name server, but will this work on the 
other side of the router??
I am not able to resolve this ??
any help?
