ipmasq dns problem

[Thomas H. George]

I have installed ipmasq as a firewall on a debian computer (Woody, 
kernel 2.4.18) placed between a DSL modem and a wireless router.  The 
system works perfectly with the computers on the LAN using Woody or 
Testing but I have been unable to use Netscape from a computer using 
Windows ME. I can access the internet - i.e. I can ping internet IP 
addresses and get a response.  If I start Netscape and try to reach the 
same addresses with domain names, Netscape times out trying to resolve 
the domain name.

After lengthy cnversations with tech support I have been told that this 
is because Windows expects network sharing to activated on the firewall 
server.  Is this true?   If it is true, how do I do it?

At this point the ipmasq installation is pure vanilla.

Any suggestions short of dumping the Windows ME opperating system would 
be greatly appreciated.  Actually, I'd even be happy to dump Windows ME 
but my grandsons would rebel.
