  This is after a restart from a windows vm that I installed the forwarder on and I put info in the outputs.conf 

outputs.conf.PNG

 this is my outputs.conf file i tried to make it the same for windows and linux

currently box 1 is linux vm and box 2 is windows vm Ihave alled traffic on 8089,9997 and so on

i can ping linux host and what I believe to be the ip of splunk.

so first question is whats that error telling me (what do I need to change)?

If my linux ifconfig comes back as 10.1.1.2

but my nslookup of httpS://dinkdonk   comes back as 10.1.10.20

which am I using as the ip for forwarding ip address 

like when I do this on either linux or windows that ip should be the same right ? see below

./splunk add forward-server 10.10.10.10:9997

./splunk set deploy-poll 10.10.10.10:8089

Also just making sure in this case my linux vm is my DS and search head and indexer right?
