Configuring airport DNS servers

I use an airport extreme base station which connects to the internet via an ethernet DSL connection. The airport TCP/IP settings are DHCP. The DNS servers, however, show 192.168.1.1 and not the DNS settings of the DSL. As a result the internet connection on my MacBook Pro is patchy at best with some pages that open and images not showing up. The only way I resolve this is by manually setting the DNS servers in my settings on the laptop. I have tried manually setting the DNS configuration on my Airport but for some reason this does not broadcast to all the computers in my house. The DNS settings that do appear on computers are the standard 192.168.1.1 and not the actual DNS. I cannot seem to figure out why the airport is doing this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am also wondering if it is possible to turn DNS relay off on an Airport Extreme or Airport Express. I am using the latest firmware on both devices, 7.6.1 and they are the latest model.
Regarding your question about DNS servers; the IP address that shows in your device as a DNS server is the Airport Extreme LAN IP address. DNS queries will be sent to that device, and the DNS settings which it uses will be used to look domain names up.
So, for now, put the DNS server addresses you'd like to use on your Airport Extreme. This is done through the Airport Utility, under Internet > Internet Options.
Also, as a final note, try the ' namebench ' program to find the best DNS servers available. It helped me choose ipv4 dns servers and I'm noticing a difference in loading times.

  • Airport not distributing DNS servers over network

    Hi everyone,
    I connect to the Internet over ADSL (ISP: Arnet Highway, Buenos Aires, Argentina) using PPPoE from my MacBook Pro.
    I have my ADSL modem connected to the Airport Extreme (802.11n) and distributing IP over DHCP just fine. Every device that joins the network obtains a valid IP.
    However, DNS servers aren't distributed by the router over the network. Every connected device has to be manually configured to set the DNS servers of my ISP to be able to resolve hosts, instead of 'asking' these addresses to the router, as it should be.
    Initially I thought there might be a problem obtainig the DNS servers from the ISP. So in the Airport Utility, in Internet / PPPoE settings, I've manually set my ISP's DNS servers, which should be distributed over the network to all connected devices.
    This doesn't happen, and every somebody new joins my wireless network I have to manually change the DNS servers for that connection which, as I'm sure you'll agree with me, can be quite annoying. Not to mention what would happen if my ISP decides to use dynamic DNS addresses.
    Thanks for any help you might provide.
    Cheers.

    Hello belbo,
    I connect to the Internet over ADSL using PPPoE from my MacBook Pro.
    Is your Macbook Pro Network configured to use PPPoE or DHCP?
    I have my ADSL modem connected to the Airport Extreme (802.11n) and distributing IP over DHCP just fine. Every device that joins the network obtains a valid IP.
    Is NAT enabled on the AE? Are the valid IP Address obtained from your ISP or from the AE?
    However, DNS servers aren't distributed by the router over the network. Every connected device has to be manually configured to set the DNS servers of my ISP to be able to resolve hosts, instead of 'asking' these addresses to the router, as it should be.
    When you setup the AE to use PPPoE did you enter a Domain Name or a DHCP Client ID?

    The DNS servers listed in the AE aren't distributed to each Network Device but are only used to translate names into IP addresses when need by a Network Device.
    This doesn't happen, and every somebody new joins my wireless network I have to manually change the DNS servers for that connection which, as I'm sure you'll agree with me, can be quite annoying. Not to mention what would happen if my ISP decides to use dynamic DNS addresses.
    If your AE is distributing IP Address using DHCP and NAT then this should not be a problem but I'm not sure without more information about the questions I asked.

  • If your Airport is connected but you can't surf, check your DNS Servers

    I just had 2 customers who upgraded their OS's to 10.6 and it stuck 2 DNS servers in their network settings, 65.106.1.196 and 65.106.7.196. Delete them and if your computer is set to DHCP, it'll acquire the correct DNS servers from your modem or router. You can find them in "Advanced".

    Finally got it fix and setup!
    How I did it:
    1) Turn on AEBS, press and hold on reset button for 5 sec.
    2) Turn off AEBS after its initialization. (only center light permanently ON)
    3) Turn on iMac.
    4) Remote all KeyChain files related to AirPort. AEBS is still off.
    4) Update AirPort software to v4.2
    5) Update AirPort Extreme card dirver to v1.0 (update 2005-001)
    6) Restart iMac and login then Turn on AEBS.
    7) Pop-up shows "Apple Network as980510" is found, click OK.
    8) Run AirPort Setup Assistant from Application/Utilities
    9) Update AEBS firmware to v5.7
    10) After AEBS restart successfully, fine its configuration accordingly.
    11) Set dial-up ISP parameters and click Update
    12) At iMac System Preferences>Network click 'AirPort' then 'Configure'
    13) At 'AirPort' tab, change 'By default join' to 'Preferred Networks' and choose the one defined at step 8.
    14) At 'Proxies' tab, checked 'Web Proxy (http)', 'FTP Proxy' and key in ISP's proxies according.
    15) Launch Safari and start surfing.
    Because I have missed out step 12-14, that causes me hours of troubleshooting and late night sleep. Finally.... it works and I'm confident it's solved. Hope it will help some of you out there! Cheers!

  • My airport extreme cannot connect to the internet because it says it has no DNS servers. How can I fix this?

    I just moved and am setting up a new apartment. Verizon put in internet service yesterday. I got a network going on my airport extreme but it could not connect to the internet because it says it has no DNS servers. help! What do I do now?

    Ensure that the ethernet is connected to the WAN port (with the dotted circle).
    You may have to reset and reconfigure your Airport Extreme.

  • My airport keeps saying no dns servers, how can i fix this problem

    My Airport extreme will not stay connected to the internet.  It keeps saying no DNS servers, repairs its self and goes out again.  Anyone have a way to fix this more permanately?

    How is your AE connected to the internet?  via a router or cable modem?

  • Configuring DNS servers with PPPoE

    Hi all,
    just received my base station, I'm trying to configure a custom couple of dns servers ( usually I work with opendns instead of the default ones from my ISP ) but after checking I notice that base station is still working with the default dns of my ISP. I tried to reset and re-configure the PPPoE connection but it still doesn't work.
    Any suggestion?

    Hello again, I feel sort of annoying by posting so many things. 
    I created a user in DC3 and it was replicated to DC1-New. If I do it the other way around, it does not work.
    In other words, the replication process only works this way DC3 --> DC1-New. I have checked it is not a firewall issue, all are off, since I began this lab.
    If I run repadmin /showrepl in DC1-New ,
    it sees DC3 and all success messages regarding the replication.
    If I run repadmin /showrepl in DC3,
    it just sees nothing.
    I also run dcdiag /test:knowsofroleholders in DC3 and
    there is this message: The holder of the Schema master is a deleted DC (DC1) . The same of all the 5 FSMOs. 
    I am trying to find a way to tell DC3 that the FSMOs holder is not DC1, but DC1-New. 
    Thanks for your support.

  • How can I override the DNS Servers and Domain Name used by my Airport Time Capsule?

    The defaults picked up from my ISP's DHCP are to use the ISP's DNS servers and ISP's domain. I do not want this.
    With my prior router I set the DNS servers to Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and my domain to either "bannister.us" (which I own) or "bannister.home". I do not want simple names resolving to some ISP default. (Yes, I know exactly what this does.)
    In the Apple AIrport Utility (version 6.3.2) the fields for DNS and Domain do not allow editing. (Why??)
    Is there some way to override this?

    Unfortunately not one that will work with the latest version TC.
    The way around it is to use a different router.. It can be a very simple router.. I usually recommend units like the TP-Link WDR3600 as they take good third party firmware like gargoyle, openwrt, dd-wrt.. ie they have real controls and beyond that a proper Linux firmware with command line interface.
    You can then change the TC over to static IP. It will not be the router.. but it will effectively become the local dhcp server.
    I have adsl so I cannot reproduce your system.. I have a bridged modem.. a router.. AC66U.. and a TC.. but the TC is not in bridge.. it is in static IP mode.
    Let me demonstrate.
    By setting a range on the main router from 1-199 (leave a space.. ) so set the TC to 192.168.2.201 and then you can set DNS and domain as you like. Set the dhcp range (leave a space) you could use 203-253.. then I use the main router as 254.
    It is brilliant.. all computers behind the TC receive the IP from the TC with whatever IP and dns (and domain although I haven't changed it).. Effectively the TC works as its own dhcp device.. but is merely a secondary dhcp server to the main unit.
    (This gives me netflix which is why I do it.. from well outside the US).
    It may be of use.
    Why leave a space.. well it helps it to work.. I have not tested it but another person reported issues and found leaving a space .. ie last ip in the router.. 199, static ip 201.. first dhcp 203 (i used 205 to help me keep count!!). worked.. I have not tried to reproduce the problem.. so I reproduce the solution.. it might be like sheep jumping over the fence.. even if the fence was removed the sheep keep jumping over at the same place. Just say bahhh and do likewise.

  • HT1178 I'm setting up airport for first time. I'm getting error no DNS servers help

    I'm setting up airport for first time. Getting error no DNS servers. What is DNS server and how do I fix this?

    DNS server is that translation from a website address in words meaningful to us.. eg www.google.com to an actual number that computers can use. Without DNS the internet may work but you would have to know the ipv4 address of every site you want to visit.
    Whenever you don't know the meaning of a term just type wiki plus the term in google search.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System
    We cannot really help fix the problem without knowing a good deal more info.
    So
    What modem do you have.. make and model may be a help?
    Who is your ISP.. may be helpful??
    Is the modem also a router?
    How is the TC connected to the modem?
    How is the computer connected to the TC?
    A primary example of where you get this problem is a pure cable modem.. ie has no router in it.
    When you replace an existing computer or router that is plugged into it, with the TC, requires that you power cycle the modem. In some cases the off time is 5min.. for a lot of services, it needs to be off 20min.. and for some even longer.. maybe an hour or overnight.
    But it is not worth getting into specifics without knowing the rest of the system.

    You are running an internal DNS server presumably but don't have these hostnames (A-NAME or C-NAME records) set on external DNS servers.
    If you run a whois on your domain you can find our who hosts the DNS for the domain if you don't already know. Often DNS hosting companies will have web based tools for you to edit the DNS entries yourself or alternatively you may need to email them and ask them to create the records.
    It sounds like you would like to point the addresses ubuntu.domain.com and win.domain.com to the IP address 92.62.26.10 as well. To do this you will have to make sure the services running on each box use a different port to one another. (I.e. You cannot have something running on port 80 on both servers).
    Depending on your router also you may only be able to do basic forwarding (I.e. Port 80 forwards to Mac.domain.com; port 443 forwards to ubuntu.domain.com; port 25 forwards to win.domain.com).
    If you need more flexibility you may need to get more external IP addresses.

  • How do you setup a server to use multiple DNS servers that are not connect to each other?

    Is there a way to setup a server that connects to two different domains to use the proper DNS server for name resolution?
    Let say there are two DCs: serverA.subdomaina.domain.com and serverB.subdoamainb.domain.com.  The domains are independent and not connected.  Now you need a common server that is connected to both and need to resolve names from both
    domains.
    Is this possible?
    I have setup a server in a workgroup.  One NIC has the subdomaina.domain.com connection specific suffix and the other nic has the subdomainb.domain.com.  Each NIC has the DNS server listed for the domain it is connected to.
    This configuration will resolve FQDNs of one domain but not the other.  This I believe is due to the fact the server only querys one DNS server and doesn't try the other DNS server.
    Is there any way to make the server try another DNS server, if the first one doesn't have the entry?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Here adding to the words of “Tim”, a forwarder is a DNS server on a network used to forward DNS queries for external DNS names to DNS servers outside of that network. You can also forward queries according to specific domain names using conditional forwarders.
    A DNS server on a network is designated as a forwarder by having the other DNS servers in the network forward the queries they cannot resolve locally to that DNS server. You can refer information regarding forwarders and how to configure from beneath link.

  • Update Policy for multiple networks with specific DNS servers

    I have a mid size network with 5 locations all with different IP addresses. All sites host their own DNS servers and connect directly through an ISP dedicated VLAN.
    Main Site
    10.1.1.1
    255.0.0.0
    Remote Site 1
    192.168.100.1
    255.255.255.0
    Remote Site 2
    192.168.101.1
    255.255.255.0
    Remote Site 3
    192.168.102.1
    255.255.255.0
    Remote Site 4
    192.168.103.1
    255.255.255.0
    All sites can be managed through the main site, but have their own DNS servers on location.
    My purpose is to point all computers and devices to a new DNS server from their previous static assignment. (XP and later versions)
    My question is can I use GP or DHCP* to push DNS server information to each device making them site specific without having to travel to those locations?
    Requirements:
    All devices on 10.1.1.1 will be changing from 10.1.1.2 to 10.1.1.4 (decom of old 2k3 server)
    DNS servers at each 192 location will need to point secondary server to 10.1.1.4
    Devices at main will need to use 10.1.1.4 as primary and 10.1.1.3 as secondary.
    Devices at each site will need to keep their respective DNS server.
    *If I use DHCP to change the information on a per scope level, can I use GP to force computers with locally set static assignments to update to DHCP static assignments
    Bonus: If anyone can give me an estimate on how much network traffic/bandwidth this would create that would be great because I would consider staggering the assignments as I am a 24 hour business.

  • Time Capsule - No DNS servers and Double NAT

    I'm connecting an MBP running 10.5.6 to a Time Capsule which accesses Virgin Media broadband using a cable modem.
    It has been working fine for 6 months, but I made some changes this morning to get my wireless camera onto the network, which broke the connection, and don't seem to be able to undo them.
    The TC now flashes amber, and going into Airport Utility I get the following errors:
    - No DNS Servers
    - Double NAT
    I've typed the DNS servers' IP addresses for my ISP into Airport Utility but it doesn't seem to recognise them. It also complains about a double NAT problem but I don't have another router assigning IP addresses.
    I've also tried a hard reset on the TC, switched it and the modem off, waited 30 mins and then switched back on again - no luck.
    Screenshots of all the settings on my TC from Airport Utility are here:
    http://web.me.com/julianlove/Site/TimeCapsule.html
    I'm not very knowledgeable about networking so any assistance appreciated.

    Double NAT is an indication that you have two devices on the network both trying to perform routing duties. You only want one device doing this on a network. Solve the NAT issue and the DNS issue will go away as well.
    What is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

  • Time Capsule Problems - No DNS Servers Where did they go?

    I have an iMac and macbookpro using a TC connected to high speed cable modem. Everything has worked fine for a year+. All of the sudden I can't connect to Internet. Under airport utility it says I have no dns servers and has two empty boxes. Then it says something about choosing or not choosing the bridge option. Never had to deal with any of this before and don't know what to enter.
    I checked and modem and everything leading to TC is working ok. I tried turning off/on, unplugging, some other guesses but no luck.
    I work from home and could really use some help asap. It is extremely appreciated...thanks!

    I am experiencing the same problem with my time capsule. I have owned the timecapsule for a couple of years and have had no connectivity issues with it.
    Regarding the Double NAT:
    I have tried switching to bridge mode, but I just loose internet connectivity completely. I would appreciate it if someone would post any common problems with using bridge that I should look for.
    I would think that if Double NAT were an issue that the Airport would report it consistently rather then intermittently.
    Regarding the lack of DNS:
    I also switched to several combinations of DNS servers (comcast, google, and openDNS). No combinations solves the problem.
    When I loose connectivity in NAT mode I go get a drink of water and comeback and the problem has resolved itself. I then reestablish my VPN link and continue work.
    I have not noticed this when I am not using VPN; but I have a hard time believing that a VPN running on my MBP would affect the TC. I use VPN a lot, so the odds are that it will happen when I am using VPN.
    I have had this ISP (comcast) since February. The problem (the TC reporting double NAT and no DNS) started to happen in June.
    I have always had problems with my VPN dropping while I am using comcast. Under my previous ISP VPN rarely dropped.

  • Domain Controllers that are DNS servers DNS Client settings

    [Copying verbatim from a mail by Joe ]
    So I have been pinged by a few folks recently on configuration of client DNS settings on Domain Controllers that are also functioning as DNS Servers. Lots of debate. I understand there has been long time debate within MSFT as well.
    From http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/07/17/friday-mail-sack-saturday-edition.aspx there
    is the quote
    "3.When referencing a DNS server on itself, a DNS client should always use a loopback address and not a real IP address."
    From http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=9166 (Windows
    Server 2008 R2 Core Network Guide)
    "9.        In Preferred DNS server, type the IP address of your DNS server. If you plan to use the local computer as the preferred DNS server, type the IP address of the
    local computer.
    10.       In Alternate DNS Server, type the IP address of your alternate DNS server, if any. If you plan to use the local computer as an alternate DNS server, type the IP address of
    the local computer."
    From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378900(v=ws.10).aspx (DNS:
    DNS servers on <adapter name> should include their own IP addresses on their interface lists of DNS servers)
    "The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. However, if the DNS server is also a domain controller and it points only to
    itself for name resolution, it can become an island and fail to replicate with other domain controllers. For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller. The loopback address should
    be configured only as a secondary or tertiary DNS server on a domain controller...
    Add the loopback IP address to the list of DNS servers on all active interfaces. The loopback IP address should not be the first server in the list."
    ESPECIALLY "For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller. The loopback address should be configured only as a secondary or tertiary
    DNS server on a domain controller." and "Add the loopback IP address to the list of DNS servers on all active interfaces. The loopback IP address should not be the first server in the list."
    Why shouldn't loopback not be first, the justification is why you shouldn't only use loopback, not why it shouldn't be first.
    From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff807362(v=ws.10).aspx (DNS:
    DNS servers on <adapter name> should include the loopback address, but not as the first entry)
    "If the loopback IP address is the first entry in the list of DNS servers, Active Directory might be unable to find its replication partners. 
    The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. However, if the DNS server is also a domain controller and it points only to itself,
    or points to itself first for name resolution, this can cause a delay during startup. For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller. The loopback address should be configured only
    as a secondary or tertiary DNS server on a domain controller."
    This also seems like justification against only using loopback versus using it first.
    Are there any actual real documented issues for using loopback first and a remote DNS server second and perhaps third? If the local DNS server service isn't working yet (or at all), I would expect the DNS Client process
    to try to connect to it, fail, and then failover to the secondary just like I would expect it to failover if the remote DNS server was secondary and it was unavailable and it failed back to the loopback. Am I making a bad assumption?
    And by documented I don't mean random responses to questions on the internet or other such items. I mean a KB article or technet article or properly researched and tested other web article from a reliable resource.
    thanks, 
    joe

    As I understand it, the scenario whereby a DC could become an 'island' if it points only to itself, or to itself first, was repaired in the Windows Server 2003 product cycle. See
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275278 for information about this scenario.
    However, there is still a known problem of slow boot times that can occur. See
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2001093 for information about this. The scenario that is discussed assumes there is a power failure and servers shut down due to overheating while on backup power. When
    multiple servers come online simultaneously after power is restored, there can be a significant delay.
    The recommended configuration is one that avoids a single point of failure, but also tries to optimize the speed of resource record registration, so that Active Directory can properly synchronize.

  • BUG in IMS 5.2 P 1 on Windows 2000 : not using the correct DNS servers

    Hi everyone,
    I encountered a queer bug in Ims 5.2 on Windows 2000.
    Let me explain it to all of you to avoid spending time and money debugging this problem.
    The problem may occur on Windows 2000 Server if the server used was formerly configured to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server (before using it for mail purposes).
    Windows 2000 doesn't delete its DHCP client configuration even if the machine is re-configured with a static IP.
    It stores the information in an interface registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
    If you install IMS52 after this, the server will use the DNS servers configured in the DHCP configuration rather than the ones specified in the static IP config to lookup the MXs.
    So if the nameservers configured in the DHCP config are not reachable, the smtp server will systematically fail sending outbond mails.
    To avoid this, locate the DHCP interface key in the Registry and remove it.
    Remarks :
    I know that this situation is not common but it may occur in certain occasions for people like me who are making demonstrations on clients sites.
    I'm not sure it is specifically related to DHCP rather than static config. I would say that IMS uses the first interface found in the registry (in alphabetical order) even if this interface is not active...
    A good idea is to remove completely from the registry all the interfaces keys not currently used by the system.
    Hope this will help some of you.

    Interesting. Thank you for the observation. Not something I have seen, either.
