DNS settings

I don't understand why DNS settings appear in the setup both on the LAN side and the WAN side.
What does this mean?
Which should be set if  I want all clients to use a specified DNS list?

Client devices report the dns as 192.168.1.1. 
I don't aappear to have a way to determine which dns is actually used externally when a connection is made.
This mabye by design of Linksys routers:

You an still use custom DNS, however the client HW will only get 192.168.1.1...

    What are the correct mail account settings and more importantly the correct DNS settings

    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • VPN Client and DNS settings

    Hello,
    here are few posts (quite some time ago) telling the same trouble:
    The VPN Client does *NOT* restore the original DNS settings.
    Upon BM3.8.2 Massimo told, that this is a bug in that version of the VPN
    client. I face this issue with 3.8.16 and nwclient 4.91.4 with or without
    the three currently available hotfixes [1]
    Anybody else facing this trouble with the current VPN client release?
    May be an older one works better, any experiences?
    This trouble is fact even after clean disconnects. But it happens only now and then,
    I might need to try it 50 times to see it once.
    a followup in CMD boxes with ipconfig /all does show, that the times
    to restore the original DNS settings vary from 2 to 30 seconds. Mostly about 5 seconds.
    Massimo also told, that a "VPN-down" due to a Win-Shutdown can cause this: So is
    there a possibility to trigger a "clean-VPN down" in the Win-shutdown sequence?
    As a workaround I packed this line into all users "run" key:
    netsh int ip set dns name="LAN-Verbindung" source=dhcp
    so at least after a reboot it's corrected.
    Any suggestions appreciated,

    Hello Craig,
    thanks for your answer.
    [VPN Client sometimes doesn't restore DNS settings after disconnecting]
    e.g. TID 10096552 is telling such a trouble, that should be fixed with
    BM VPN Client 3.8.10

    Anybody else who knows about that tool?
    After doing some "teachment" to these VPN users the incidents of this
    trouble didn't show up as frequent as before. So I assume, that one
    reason might be this:
    Scenario
    VPN connect
    PCA connect to host in corporate LAN
    PCA full screen *SHOULD* be activated (ALT+ENTER)
    working, working, working
    shutdown PC in corporate LAN
    close VPN tunnel
    shutdown local home office PC.
    When it was missed to activate PCA fullscreen without noticing this,
    then the "remote" start button is not visible.
    So instead of shutting down the remote PC, the local PC is shut down.
    By that, the local shutdown is killing (not cleanly disconnecting)
    the VPN client. When this happened (and I 100% can reproduce this)
    after the next boot of the home office PC the VPN connect will *ALWAYS*
    fail. After another reboot the VPN connect will succeed again without
    any problems.
    Is this a known issue? (I cannot find that TID I found before telling
    missbehaviour when VPN connects are not disconnected clean. IIRC this
    was something fixed in a VPN client version /several/ subversions ago)
    Home Office PC = XPSP2+Hotfixes, VPN Client BM 3.8.16, nici from that
    one first, now taken from NWClient 4.91.4, no difference.

  • How do I change the DNS settings to BC but keep the MX setting for emails?

    How do I change the DNS settings to Business Catalyst but keep the MX settings for emails?
    I'm basically created anew site using Muse and want to host it on BC and upgraded to the Web basics + to allow for hosting of downloadable pdf's etc.
    There are up to 50+ emails address set up on the current set up and I want to just change the NDS settings for the domain to ponit to the new site/hosting an not have to worry about them chaning all the meail settings etc.
    Records do I need to change in BC?
    Thanks
    Iain

    Hi,
    You shouldn't need to do anything as long as you do not state hosting email with BC.  Just ensure to check you DNS in a lookup tool that it's still referencing your external email service.
    Otherwise you can set up external email set-up if the option is present.

  • No DNS settings when using built-in (hardwired) ethernet

    Iv'e never had an issue with wireless operation, but now that a wired connection is necessary, I've run into something strange.
    When connecting to a LAN with a DHCP source providing IP, router, DNS settings and more, the ibook fails to populate the DNS settings. I've got a valid IP and gateway address but no DNS servers are defined. I can put them in manually, but that would require me to change them each time I connect to a different wired network instead of relying on DHCP to do it's job.
    Has anybody else seen this issue?

    If (as you say "is the case") this is a small, Netgear cable router...then the Netgear will be acting as DNS server. Likely the Netgear is getting a dynamic IP address from ISP, or it's been set with static values the ISP has told the homeowner to enter into the Netgear. Either way, DNS will be provided to Netgear, and the Netgear should be sending the DNS on down to the client computers.
    (Do you "see" any DNS server info in the Configuration panel when you're on wireless? If so, what IP address is that DNS server?)
    Why does it work wireless, but not cabled?
    You really need to go into SystemPreferences>Network>Configure...and tell us what you have configured in the eth0, or built-in Ethernet section.
    It might not be a bad idea to reboot the mac after you plug in ethernet...probably not needed, but we don't know enough about your network settings.
    You also say you can't access sites by name. Can you hit a website using an IP address in the Safari addressBar?

  • DNS Settings have Changed with Snow Leopard Update

    Before I upgraded to SL, I was able to append a DNS server to the list of servers that my MacBook Pro acquired from the DHCP server. This way, I didn't have to manually edit my DNS settings all the time when I was in the office and wanted to access our lab network by name. Now after the upgrade, I have to remove all manually entered DNS servers before it will use the DNS servers given to it by the DHCP server. Is there a way that I can always append my lab DNS server to the list given to me by DHCP?
    Thanks,
    John

    I am on or office wireless network which handles the DHCP lease and DNS addressing, but I am an engineer in the office and access the lab often and we have another DNS server in the lab to handle all of the lab network. The Sales folk don't need access to the lab so the DHCP server doesn't give out the lab dns server... I would like to access the lab via name, not IP, so I need the lab DNS server on my list of servers. If I can't append this to the DHCP list, I have to manually add all three every time I am in the office. I am frequently out at customer/vendor sites and use thier wireless, so I get thier DNS list.
    Short answer is I need our lab DNS server on the list and frequently move from network to network... I want it to work the way it was before the "upgrade", which wasn't much of an "upgrade" if it breaks this. I want my Leopard back.

  • Changing Upstream DNS settings

    I have an Xserve running OS X Server 10.4.11 and want to change the upstream DNS setting form my ISP's to OpenDNS. The DNS settings in Server Admin don't seem to provide this option and from what I've read, the system Network DNS setting must point to the internal DNS server.
    I've read some reports that advocate editing /etc/named.conf but the exsiting file is very sparse and doesn't contain any forwarder entries.
    Where the heck are these things set?
    - Tim

    Thanks Antonio
    The Server Admin settings for 10.4 DNS are significantly different than 10.3.9 but the basic info is similar. Everything I read says I must edit the /etc/named.conf file and add the forwarders, but my named.conf file has no forwarder entries yet my DNS server DOES query my ISP's DNS for outside addresses. This must be set somewhere ... but where?
    This is all there is in the named.conf file
    // Declares control channels to be used by the rndc utility.
    // This must be enabled on Mac OS X Server for Server Status to provide valid
    // information! (Remove the leading slashes to enable.)
    // ** STUFF YOU MIGHT NEED TO ENABLE **
    controls {
    // unix "/var/run/ndc" perm 0600 owner 0 group 0;
    As you can see, there is none of the stuff you would expect, so it must be being done elsewhere.

  • Redundant domain controller DNS settings

    Hi guys,
    We have two domain controllers, both DNS and GC. I am curious as to what the recommended IP DNS settings should be for both DCs? I think it is like this...
    DC1
    DNS1 - DC2
    DNS2 - DC1
    DC2
    DNS1 - DC1
    DNS2 - DC2
    Is this the right setup?
    Thanks
    Aaron

    Is this the right setup?
    Yes it is correct. I would go with 127.0.0.1 for 'Alternate DNS server'.

  • Can't save DNS settings - 'Reset'

    Hi everybody,
    I've been trying for a day to setup my DNS to my server (PowerMac G4 running Leopard Server 10.5.4)
    So, I would like to add a primary zone, a machine (the server) and a reverse DNS.
    I can do this (is appears in the list) but when I click 'save', all the settings I made disappearing (well, not exatcly, it only reset all machines/aliases and reverse settings) but I keep the primary zone (if I add a nameserver, click save... the nameserver is not saved/the machine is not created)
    I don't know what I did wrong. I also found a '101' about DNS in Leopard Server... I did the same as the '101'.
    In my system log, I found this:
    +Jul 17 13:41:39 server servermgrd[186]: servermgr_dns: Failed to save zone 'null.' because the zone does not have a nameserver.+
    I don't have a 'null' zone! I've got a tucpasquic.com. zone (it is in the list) and it is kept when I save (tucpasquic.com. is my primary zone)
    Is there something to do to reset all the DNS settings?

    Hi again,
    so, I didn't find why it didn't work... but:
    I created a new zone with the same name of the 'bugged' zone, and it worked, don't ask me why!
    Anyway, I've got a successfull message in changeip:
    +The names match. There is nothing to change.+
    This was the only thing I wanted!

  • TS1317 Internet Connectivity Issue - specifically with the DNS settings

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering if someone can help me resolve an internet connectivity issue on my MacBook Pro.
    It appears to be a problem specifically with the DNS settings. I am connected to the internet but can only reach a website by typing in the IP address, not the domain name. The error messahe says: "Unable to resolve server's DNS address."
    Regardless of whether I use Wifi, 3G modem or cable, i get the same error.
    Operating System is Mac OSX Version 10.6.7
    Please help!
    Thanks

    It sounds like your MacBook Pro has either incorrect or missing DNS IP address information in it network profile. Let's start with your wireless connection. You would find these in System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > DNS tab
    If your main Internet router is performing as the DHCP server, it would provide the DNS IP addresses (typically from your ISP) on this tab. You may have two or more addresses listed. If they are grayed, that means that the addresses are coming from the DHCP server.
    In the following example screen shot, I am using DNS servers provided by OpenDNS. Notice that they are grayed as they are being provided by my main Internet router. Again, these should be either ones provided by your ISP or ones you purposely set up, like my OpenDNS ones.

  • Rogue DNS Settings appearing after initial DHCP lease

  • What do I enter for DNS settings?

    I was looking through my mail log files and discovered my domain wasn't being resolved correctly. So I did sftp in Terminal and it returned an error that mail.myserver.com could not be resolved.
    My servers IP address 192.168.88.8 and my DNS Server's DNS settings are 192.168.88.8 and 127.0.0.1. Is this correct?
    Thanks

    External forward and reverse DNS both need to be correct for your mail to be routed into your server and particularly for your outbound mail to be accepted by remote mail servers (and not perceived as a spam engine), and your local network needs to have DNS functional for at least the server. The reverse DNS inherently involves your ISP.
    Put another way, yes, you need DNS for a traditional setup.
    These days, it's usually safest to assume that everything needs DNS.
    If you're not on a business-class DSL service, you'll end up establishing a relay through an authorized mail server somewhere else; with what amounts to relay through an SMTP mail server elsewhere with valid DNS.
