Hi,
When I redeployed the upgraded Webserver at WMT I found that it worked
perfectly to provide content for Visitors using a phone, but I couldn't
connect to it with my laptop.
This was very confusing to me, because the Webserver hardware had been fully
tested here at home using my desktop PC equipped with a TP-Link TL-WN725N USB
WiFi Adaptor. Back home I setup my test rig to emulate the setup at WMT and
found that it still worked with my desktop, but confirmed that it didn't work
with my laptop.
Eventually I discovered that my laptop didn't seem to be aware of the DNS
Server Address (which is on the Webserver at 192.168.0.1), eg:
terry@XPS-13:~$ systemd-resolve --status
Global
Protocols: -LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
resolv.conf mode: foreign
Link 2 (wlp58s0)
Current Scopes: none
Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
However, when I plugged in the TP-Link adaptor, I got:
terry@XPS-13:~$ systemd-resolve --status
Global
Protocols: -LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
resolv.conf mode: foreign
Link 2 (wlp58s0)
Current Scopes: none
Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Link 3 (wlx503eaa80bf54)
Current Scopes: DNS
Protocols: +DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/
unsupported
Current DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
DNS Servers: 192.168.0.1
Any thoughts on why the built-in WiFi isn't working? I've updated the OS on
the laptop to the latest version, which is the same as the desktop.
