Is this a common problem with routers? I have a Netgear with the same name server problems. For my linux machines I usually set up a local caching DNS using the ISPs DNS as forwarders, which works great for Linux but no such luck for Windows. Since they configure via DHCP, it makes it a pain for a laptop. I thought it was maybe a Netgear problem, but maybe not. I was just wondering if this is a common router problem. -- Joe Morris
If you have a local linux box running a caching dns server just point the windows box to it but also include your ISP name servers as well. The linksys I have (wrt54g) can supply a list of name servers but cannot act as a name server except for local dhcp addresses it has issued. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
