Hi all,
I ahave configure linux to act as a router. I
have
set up the iptables and forwarding and the DHCP
server. when I ping an a public IP address such
as
68.x.x.x for yahoo, I am able to ping. However,
when
I ping a domain name such as www.yahoo.com, I
cannot
ping. How can I have the IP address to resolve to
a
domain name.

You need to set up a DNS server (Bind) and make sure
you configure your
DHCP Server options to include handing out DNS
information with the DHCP
request. Or if you are not using a DNS server you
at least to need
configure your DHCP server to hand out the DNS
information from your
Internet provider.

Without more details on what you are trying to
accomplish it is too hard
to recommend a solution.

Your main goal is that you need to configure DNS and
your DHCP server
options to hand out the DNS information to the DHCP
clients.
