The first thing I would do is get rid of tmdns. With your setup, then last thing you want to add to the mess is the Zeroconf stuff!Hi All
As some of you are aware by now I am trying to network 2 computers by use of a wireless 'my router' which is connected to a wireless bridge which gets it signal from wireless bridge [located in an office across the street] which gets it input from another router [or did before system modification which I was not party to].
The first computer is a MSI motherboard box called Reality_Check running Mandrake 10.1.
The second computer is an IBM Thinkpad running Mandrake 10.1.
Anyway after reading the above you began to get one of the issues - Total confusion so in that regard I shut down the wireless portions of my wireless router.
I have set 'my router' for fixed LAN addressing with Big_Nate as 192.168.1.4 using DNS host Name 192.168.1.1 which Big_Nate after booting [it is a laptop] uses the preceding host name and DNS address.
On the other hand I have set 'my router' with Reality_Check as 192.168.1.2.
I have tried to set Reality_Check to use 'my router' at 192.168.1.1 but it keeps resetting the First DNS to be 127.0.0.1 and the Second DNS server to be 64.89.100.2 and keep using a DNS address of 192.168.1.251.
I have deleted and made new connection in Reality_Check by Make New Connection Automatic -> DNS Host Name = Reality_Check ->Host Name = Reality_Check -. Zeroconf Host Name = Reality Check
Should DNS Host Name should be Reality_Check but be name of computer or of 'my router'?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Frank
Just stopping tmdns will get rid of the 127.0.0.1 DNS server problem. It will also get rid of the DNS Host Name question, if I remember right.
If you have the dhcp server running on the router, then just configure your connection for dhcp, with a host name of Reality_Check. (Make sure your host name is in /etc/hosts).
If you do not have the dhcp server running on the router, or if you want to set a static IP address for Reality_Check, then you probably want to use the IP address of the router as your name server, and your gateway.
