IP Ping Works - But no DNS resolution

Post by alexxxp »

Hi Guys,

This is probably a repeated question but searching for DNS isn't allowed due to the brevity of the search term.

Just installed latest Gargoyle on a WRT1900ACS Linksys. Install happened without issues. GUI is accessible and appears to be pulling an IP via DHCP from the ADSL modem/router.

It is also handing out DHCP IPs to client on the network.

However, I can't hit internet names from the browser. If I ping the IP it works but not the name. NSLOOKUP indicates 192.168.1.1 is the DNS server (which is the gargoyle box).

No matter what I do clients get fed 192.168.1.1 as the DNS server. I would expect this to work and gargoyle to pass the DNS request onto the modem which then passes it to the ISP.

Even so, I thought fine, it's not working, I'll force all clients to just use 8.8.8.8 but can't find anywhere in the GUI to set this.

Do I have to use shell to configure this further? It seems like a straightforward setup so not sure what I'm missing.

Any assistance would be immensely appreciated.

Cheers,
Alex
