DNS for local net not working

Thu Aug 09, 2007 5:19 pm

Hey guy's.

I'm trying to configure a simple host.domain to one of my IP's on my
local network but I'm just not getting any where...

Winbox - IP - DNS - Primary and secondary servers are configured.
Allow remote requests are selected.
And now I'm adding my hostname to my local IP.

The IP exists and I can brows to the device using the IP (wifi AP)...but
using the given domain name gives me this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Gateway Timeout

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When using Hotspot, it is also trying to redirect me to the DNS name...but nothing comes up.

Any other settings on other sections I need to set before this will actually work?

Thanks in advance...

your dns settings are set correctly?

your users have set up your dns cache router as primary dns server?

Yip

It gets assigned by DHCP - I did check this.
I even tried manually setting it on my computer - no change.

Put it to you this way - I'm obviously doing some thing wrong /
not doing something I'm supposed to. I just don't know what.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to enable DNS via winbox you do:

IP - DNS - Settings
now tick Prim (and secondary if you have) and enter your Internet DNS
server addresses.
Tick "allow remote requests"

click apply and OK and voalla! It's set.

Now there are no sttings to change regarding DNS at "IP Pool" or "DHCP"
so I'm guessing this should work now - click "Add static DNS entry",
enter the name you want and IP it should point to and now you can
brows to it (given it has a service to brows too...).

What am I missing?
