Dear all,

Redhat 6.0 is originally acts as our linux server. Recently, we install
Red Hat 7.1 as our school server. The config is the same as that of the old
server. We can ping the ip outside our internal network. However, it is very
strange that the other services cannot work, e.g. it cannot connect to the
internet through Netscape, Mail server also cannot work even for the
computers (using the outlook in Win98) in our internal network. But it can
send mail to the other clients by entering "mail somebody" at the server
computer. Why? Note that DNS service does work because it can update the
data from the old server but NFS service do not work. Please give some
advice, thanks.

Sincerely yours,
Simon
