Hi Johannes! Try to create and configure the file
/var/efw/red/resolv.conf with the vi editor in a SSH session or create it in windows OS (or your preferred OS) and then upload it to EFW using SCP protocol (if you use Windows you can use WinSCP). First: -obtain the domain of your ISP and the IP address of the two DNS servers used by your ISP (you can get them from connection status page of your D-link router) -check if SSH deamon is enabled on your EFW. Then connect to EFW through SSH protocol; login as root. cd /var/efw/red/ vi resolv.conf press "i" key (without quotes) on keyboard to enter in insert mode then enter the correct cpnfiguration as show below (without quotes): domain "isp.domain.name" nameserver "ip.first.dns" nameserver "ip.second.dns" For example: domain aol.com nameserver 195.112.4.4 nameserver 195.112.4.7 then pres "esc" key. then enter: :wq and press Enter to save and exit from vi editor. Restart EFW and try if the connection is working ;-) Bye!
