if i ping www.yahoo.com it returns unreachable.
if i ping xx.xx.xx.xx it will always return ping.

if i put DNS address in IPcop then if i ping www.yahoo.com from the
client, it will work.

I want the setup to work so that you dont have to enter any proxy
settings into the client browswers.

I have the proxy settings the clients would have entered into IPCop's
setup gui.


I am pretty sure when i do winipcfg on the clients no DNS address show
(and they shouldn't right?  because i dont have then in IPcop.)
The gateway does show up i believe, and it's the same as the one i have
entered into IPcop.

But I still can't figure out why webmail sites won't work.
