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 New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
The setup you say you have now is what I had at one point and changed because my entire network would be unavailable if that name server was unavailable (say the ISP was unreachable). You then have no name server. You should be able to just tell your machine that 192.168.1.1 IS the name server. Greg Wallace
