IP Ping Works - But no DNS resolution
Posted: Sun Jun 25, 2017 3:26 am
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
