thx for your help.

Probably your named.conf in /etc/ is messed up. You can open it in Terminal and compare it with named.conf.save. Or you've used an other programm to edit the named.conf outside the Server Admin GUI than the GUI isn't reliable any more. I've used WEB-Min one time and then ServerAdmin does'nt show the right things anymore.

  • WTR54GS DNS trouble

    Hello. As the title says, im having trouble connecting with my router using wireless on my laptop. I do not think it is my laptop because my girlfriends laptop is having the same problem as mine using the same wireless connection. Here is a few things to slim down what the problem could be:
    -I am connected to the access point just not the internet.
    -Have fully reset the router twice trying to get it to work. 
    -Direct connection to the modem works fine. 
    -When i do a diagnosis on the connection it says something like: There is a problem with the Domain Name Server(DNS) and lists www.microsoft.com in the message
    -I have vista
    I really think it is the router, but i cannot figure out what is causing it or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as ive been working on this all day, for the past 8 hours Thanks. I will check this frequently as i continue to attempt to fix it

    Make sure you have Internet Connection when you connect your Laptop straight to the router...If you have Internet connection then before you attempt to connect to your wireless network you should know all the wireless settings on your network...To know the wireless settings on your network follow this link
    When you attempt to connect to your wireless network you should use the WEP Key 1 and not the Passphrase if your wireless security is WEP...If the Wireless Security is WPA/WPA2 then you have to use the WPA Shared Key or Password...

  • Leopard, DNS trouble with CNAMES

    Hello,
    Hopefully someone in the forums will be able to help me out with this. Apple's phone support for this problem was extremely frustrating and left me extremely disappointed with the company and the purchase of my first Mac. The "2nd teir" support technician couldn't even adequately describe to me what DNS does and refused to transfer me to a more qualified technician.
    I've found that Leopard does not seem to handle DNS CNAME -> IP address lookups. An example is listed below. This is not limited to SSH. I have problems with HTTP connections as well. It's just easier to post the text. Has anyone else encountered this and come up with a solution?
    cncuxmbp01:~ kcurrie$ nslookup splunk.tare.local
    Server: 161.179.68.76
    Address: 161.179.68.76#53
    splunk.tare.local canonical name = cncux1z06.us.aegon.com.
    Name: cncux1z06.us.aegon.com
    Address: 161.179.77.141
    cncuxmbp01:~ kcurrie$ ssh splunk.tare.local
    ssh: Error resolving hostname splunk.tare.local: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

    The problem is that dot-local names are looked up using Multicast DNS on Mac OS X. Trying adding "local" to your list of search domains in the Network pref pane. That will work around the problem.

  • Internet DNS trouble!  Help!

    Everything was fine until I bought the new Intel iMac. My ADSL modem with a USB connector works great with my iBook G4, but will not with the iMac. The local ISP said there are no drivers for the Intel Macs, so I'm out of luck.
    So... I bought a Zoom model 5654 ADSL X5 modem, which connects via Ethernet. Everything seemed fine.. at first. In fact I am posting this on-line with it.
    But about every 5 minutes I loose the DNS. All my web based look-ups fail, and I am stuck for 5 minutes. Then, magically, it comes back! My activity monitor looks like an EKG! This has ben going ever since I bought the modem. I even tried with the iBook G4, and it's the same. Works great for a few minutes, and then the DNS stops, and I have to wait it out!
    Interesting, if I am downloading a large file, that will keep working. The download does not stop, showing that the NET is staying connected and just the DNS stops.
    Has anyone experienced this?
    I am connected to an ADSL (as I have no other option except a 56K modem). Here's some details:
    Network control panel set to built-in Ethernet.
    TCP/IP: Using DHCP, IP: 10.0.0.5, Subnet: 255.255.255.0, Router: 10.0.0.2
    -No DNS Servers or Search Domains
    -IPv6: on Auto
    PPoE: Off
    Appletalk: Inactive
    Proxies: None
    Ethernet: Auto
    - I tried switching the IPv6 to OFF. No effect.
    - I tried changing the Ethernet to Manual, 10baseT, half-duplex and full. No effect.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for suggestion Tony. I just tried it and no change. It worked for about 10 minutes, and then the DNS failed again.
    If I disconnect the modem and re-attach my old USB modem (on my G4 iBook) all is still finbe. It will stay connected and the DNS will function normally.
    It's only when I hook up the new Ethernet ADSL modem/router that the DNS fails. Note that the network still stays connected as before, and long downloads continue to download even after the DNS failures.
    I also noted that it appears (more testing needed to verify) that once the DNS stops working, if I go into the Network control panel and make any changes, I get the DNS back soon after - much sooner than if I just wait it out. But it still drops out after 10 minutes or so.
    And just to be clear, my system is not set to sleep at any time, so it's not related to that either.

  • VPN server configuration - dns troubles

    Some variants of this issue have popped up on this forum, but could not quite resolve my issue. I have VPN running on OSX 10.6 server, but when the client connects to the server, they cannot browse the Internet by their host-name. However, they are able to browse the web by entering IP addresses. On the server side, DNS servers are configured to be 8.8.8.8, and network routing definition set to 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0. L2TP IP range is 192.168.1.2 - 10. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Many parts of Mac OS X Server require functional DNS services.
    When you are operating behind NAT, no external DNS provider can typically provide you with DNS translations.
    Neither your ISP nor Google can provide you with DNS translations within private IP blocks.  Only local DNS can do that.
    The other matter here is the attempt to operate Mac OS X Server as a gateway.  That gets gnarly, and there are many discussions of that posted around the forums.  It's far easier to use an external gateway box, and to avoid configuring a Mac as an expensive and awkward and ungainly and insecure IP router; to avoid the potential to expose open ports or random server applications to the wilds of the internet, as well as avoiding the routing configuration difficulties inherent in the default Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server user interfaces.
    Irrespective of all that DNS configuration and LAN-local stuff, your VPN needs to have a DNS server from the target LAN or it will have no translations for a NAT'd network.  By default, most VPNs will use the provided DNS for NAT'd hosts as well as public hosts.  Which you don't have.
    The usual Mac OS X Server configuration order is the host software, basic IP networking and LAN routing, DNS services, Open Directory (OD), and only then with the rest of everything else.
    If that sudo changeip -checkhostname command is tossing a DNS warning, then you have DNS issues on the LAN.  Need help setting up LAN-local DNS on Mac OS X Server?  Here are detailed DNS set-up instructions.

  • DNS trouble downloading and surfing

    Hi.
    I got somewhat of a problem when surfing on the web, and downloading, while using my 5800 XM as a modem.
    After sometime surfing the web, my connection dies out, and same goes for downloads when i hit, blah, just 15-20MB, forcing me to disconnect, and reconnect again.
    I have tried using the OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220) on my phone, but also the automatic (0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0), and i keep hitting the same wall over and over.
    Even with the newest version of PC Suite, the problem stays.
    I dunno if its because i use Windows 7, but i certainly didnt have this kind of trouble when i Windows XP.
    And its only when i use the phone as modem, as i dont have the same problems downloading and surfing the web, with only my phone.
    Any help please ?

    A "waiting" app seems to be relatively common and I have not heard of a way of preventing it. To get rid of "waiting" one of the following usually woks:
    - sign out and back in in iTunes
    - Powering off and then back on your Ipod
    - resetting your iPod
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Can't delete primary zone in DNS after moving the server

    Woe is me!
    Our MacMini was hosted at a Colo site and working fine. No firewall in front of the machine, so we turned on the server firewall and only allowed mail, web, ftp, and a couple of other services. This worked great using our external public DNS wired to our domain names and public fixed IP address. Later, we got VPN up a running (the trick was to create a second, local IP address for the ethernet port), but this also required us to turn on the server's DNS to create a split-brained DNS server.
    Everything was working swimmingly... and then we had a hard drive crash. Since we were thinking about moving the server onsite anyway (our POS system was accessed through the VPN, but it could be slow and made our tasting room dependent on Internet access in order to run the POS), we ordered Comcast business class internet with a fixed IP address.
    We updated the external public DNS to the new public fixed ip. Rather than plug the mini directly to the Comcast router (which is in pass-through mode), we elected to put a AirPort Extreme in front of it, mainly so we could get all of the POS computers on the same local network without using the mini as a DHCP/NAT router. We created a DHCP reservation on the Extreme so that the mini had a fixed local IP address. We port forwarded everything we wanted to expose to the Internet. Email started to work again. However, web services and VPN are nada.
    This being Snow Leopard Server and having spent literally hours debugging DNS issues when we first got the server, I knew it wouldn't be straightforward. And it hasn't been. Even changing the IP address of the server has been a chore.
    We ran "sudo changeip <old IP address> <new IP address>".
    Then we ran "sudo changeip -checkhostname" and received:
    "$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
    Primary address     = 10.0.8.2 <new static internal IP address>
    Current HostName    = <servername>.<domainname>.com
    The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
    dirserv:success = "success""
    Oh no, the black pit of death.
    Even though I tried to modify the machine record in the local DNS to reflect the new internal static IP address, Nada.
    So, looking back on my previous research from Mr Hoffman and others, I stopped the DNS service, and I deleted the primary zone and reverse lookups in order to rebuild them from scratch. Except that no matter what I do, I can't delete the primary zone - it comes back like Dracula (even though the reverse zone and all of the zone records are gone). I tried rebuilding everything using the undeletable zone, but after a few services (saved each one separately), they would suddenly disappear.
    I am leery of messing with the DNS files on the server as I don't want to hose up Server Admin (my command line skills are rudimentary and slow). I have so much installed on the machine now that I am concerned about someone saying "reinstall".
    Help!
    Related to this is that it is not clear to me in web services which IP address you should use for the sites. The internal IP? The public IP? I thought Apache cared about the external IP address. And I think Apache is hosed at the moment due to my DNS troubles anyway.
    Thanks in advance!

    Morris Zwick wrote:
    And does anyone know which IP you enter for your sites in the web service? The public static IP or the internal private static IP?
    For the external DNS server I am sure you have already deduced that it should be the static IP issued you by Comcast and this will be forwarded by your router to your server.
    For your internal DNS server you could use either the internal LAN IP, or the external IP although the later might be affected by your firewall so this you will need to test.
    For the Web Server service in Server admin, if your only running a single website you could avoid the issue by just using the wildcard entry which will respond to any IP address, so this would be an empty host name and an IP address of *
    In fact you don't have to specify an IP address you could just use the hostname, so it will listen to traffic arriving at your server addressed to any IP address and as long as the URL that was requested includes the hostname you define for the site it will get responded to. So if as an example you have two websites you want to serve
    www.example.com
    site2.example.com
    then as long as both have the IP address for the site as an * (asterisk) then both should work as separate sites for traffic addressed to either the LAN or WAN IP address of the server.
    You will still need to use two IP addresses on the server to enable VPN, you could use a USB Ethernet adapter for the second one. Port forwarding for VPN is not as simple as other traffic as VPN requires traffic different to the standard IP and UDP packets. Routers that support 'VPN Passthrough' are specifically designed to accomodate this but I don't know if the AirPort Extreme does this. I have also found PPTP copes better with this sort of setup than L2TP although PPTP is generally regarded as less secure.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 First Run problems

    Installing Dreamweaver CS3 Saga.
    I've had some trouble and despite looking for answers and
    trying a few things I'm getting nowhere. I've included a timeline
    of events below to help explain.
    0) System: New Dell Opliplex 745 running XP Pro Sp2 and
    networked to a domain. Educational License ordered for MOPS school.
    Disk delivered.
    1) Tried installing in regular user's account. When it
    prompted for admin details, I entered them, but it didn't work.
    Insufficient rights to install, fair enough.
    2) Logged on as domain admin. Tried installing. Failed!
    Insufficient rights. Hmmm.
    3) Logged on to local computer as administrator. Installed.
    Success! However, could not find the serial number so selected
    "trial" option. All worked ok. Emailed supplier to find out why
    serial was not included with disk.
    4) Gave regular user full admin rights on computer to avoid
    future hassles.
    5) Obtained serial from supplier (it was on the invoice).
    Entered serial number while logged on as user. Dreamweaver accepted
    serial but then a blank dialog box (titled Adobe Dreamweaver CS3)
    opened over the top of the rest of Dreamweaver and froze up access
    to Dreamweaver. Can't close box, can't interact with box apart from
    moving it around over the top of DW. It doesn't count as a separate
    window in the task bar.
    6) Ended Dreamweaver process, loaded it again. Blank dialog
    box appeared yet again however Dreamweaver began some adobe
    updating. ~140mb download. Around 20mb in, some files began
    installing - so far so good. Then, adobe updater vanished and we're
    back to frozen dialog box.
    7) Restarted computer. Logged on as user again, ran
    Dreamweaver again. Frozen blank dialog box again HOWEVER I did find
    that if I was quick I could interact normally with Dreamweaver,
    open files, etc for a few seconds until dialog box kicks in. Also
    when ending the task instead of ending the process, the windows
    message says "The system cannot end this program because it is
    waiting for a response from you. To return to windows and check the
    status of the program, click cancel. If you choose to end the
    program immediately, you will lose any unsaved data. To end the
    program, click End Now." Obviously this refers to the blank dialog
    box but I can't interact with the box so I can't respond to DW.
    8) Remembering previous troubles, logged off and logged on to
    local machine as administrator. Ran Dreamweaver again. This time an
    initial dialog box asking about file associations popped up. Then,
    Adobe update began running, this time 120mb download. Once again,
    around 20mb in, some files installed and then Dreamweaver frozen
    dialog box once more is revealed. The rest of the updates are
    nowhere to be seen, adobe updater does not seem to be running any
    more.
    9) Found an issue in forums with corrupt Bonjour installation
    causing DNS trouble. Figured this might be affecting the updates,
    uninstalled the service as outlined elsewhere on this forum. Did
    not help.
    10) Decided to attempt a repair install from the disk. It
    seemed to work but then only the shared components seemed to
    install. But underneath that in the installation window, it said
    both Dreamweaver and the Shared Components failed to install. So
    did it fail or did it not fail? Your guess is as good as mine.
    11) Ran Dreamweaver again. This time, a green "scrolling
    credits" style window appeared, with "Click here to continue". Upon
    clicking, the credits window disappeared and all looked well. I
    alt-tabbed to something else but when I went back into Dreamweaver
    the blank dialog window was back again.
    I've searched the net, and scanned these forums but I am
    unable to find a similar issue or any clue as to how to proceed
    next.
    I am going to try to uninstall Dreamweaver and reinstall it
    fully, while logged on as local admin, probably I will use the CS3
    clean script that I found on the forums to make sure its all gone;
    and then I will enter the serial at the same time as installation
    to avoid ever triggering the trial installation conditions. In the
    meantime if anyone has any suggestions feel free to chip in with
    ideas.
    PS Further information which I just remembered: Internet
    access is restricted by a proxy. Adobe updater worked fine after
    giving it username and password to log on to the proxy. Perhaps
    this frozen screen is trying to access the internet?

    Further information - when I tried to uninstall I was advised
    by the uninstaller that I should deactivate CS3. But I couldn't
    find how to do that in the few seconds before everything freezes.
    I had an inspiration to pull the network plug out and sure
    enough, the frozen window became a window which reads:
    Dreamweaver is unable to connect to the internet to register
    your product. I selected "Register Never" so hopefully this will
    fix my problem!

  • Issue opening website with webvpn

    I have clientless webvpn configured on my ASA5505.
    Most website can be opend when using Webvpn.
    But when i open a website, like youtube/google, i get the message "Connection failed     Server   - youtube.com -    unavailable."
    When i open the website on ip address there is no issue.
    I found out that website with ipv6 and ipv4 addresses are unavailable and website with only ipv4 addresses are available.
    My ASA doesn't have an ipv6 address.
    Does someone know how to make this work?

    I looked over your config and saw IPv6 config on Vlan1. Can you please disable it? It's useless when you don't use v6 on your outside IF and causes DNS troubles, because v6 replies are preferred.

  • Trouble with DNS set up

    Hello !
    I've got a real trouble with my dns configuration... and i can't understand! so, i need some help....
    well, qutie newbie in mac os server, i run in on a G4, and i had not noticed any trouble until i've decided to run open directory as a master with LDAP, wanting to have a kerberos protection for the users.
    Kerberos doesn't want to play with me !
    I've been in console mode to have a look, and, actually i've seen this :
    "Oct 17 11:31:08 wakan servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 192.168.0.109
    Oct 17 11:31:08 wakan servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no reverse DNS entry for server, various services may not function properly"
    Ok... my DNS has a trouble... but i don't know how to fix it ! Is there anybody in this world who can help me?
    I don't want to have a real DNS for my little server... but i understand that my config is not good. I can understand that having a caching DNS can improve the quality of my config, and, in other hand that it is necessary for having the services of OSX server in an effeciant way, but i don't know the way and the parameters i've to put in my config to fix it.
    Now, just some words on my config...
    First, i've got an adress provided by my FAI (the frenchy workd for ISP, i think) is "193.252.209.135". This adress is set on a d-link modem router via PPOE. The DNS of my provider (wanadoo.fr) are 80.10.246.1 and 80.10.246.132.
    After this there is my G4 With mac osX server.
    • en0, the "extenal gate" and the internal ethernet on the computer is plug on the modem with the adress "192.168.0.109". the router is set on "192.168.0.1". the dns are 80.10.246.1 and 80.10.246.132.
    • en1, the "internal gate" for the network, an PCI card in the computer, has the parameters : adress "192.168.3.1", subnet "255.255.255.0", router "192.168.3.1". no dns records. (no VPN service for the moment). After this, i've a switch for the macs behind the server. (without any link agregation)
    All those parameters have been set by the gateaway assistant.
    And now the parameters inside the admin server :
    DHCP : en1 - adress from 192.168.3.2 to 192.168.3.254, name 192.168.3. no static card. Router 192.168.3.1. No name for domaine by defaut, name servers 80.10.246.1 and 80.10.246.132 No LDAP, no WINS.
    DNS : No zone transfert, recursivity is ON. No zone records.
    NAT : set on full, Transfert and Network Address Translation.
    When i've been on the terminal, i had those information:
    "wakan:~ st$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
    Password:
    Primary address = 192.168.0.109
    Current HostName = wakan.local
    The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool."
    All my "main" services are working fine (AFP, Firewall, DHCP, DNS, Update) Open Directory is running without Kerberos. By the way, all the macs after the G4server can have a corect access to internet, and share information via LDAP of Open Directory, but i've to say that, a couple of days later, a friend of mine, who has a PC computer, can't have a DHCP dynamic address when he plug on my little network. I think that it is an other trouble, and i've decided to have e look to this later... but if someone knows how to resolve it...
    So here begins the nightmare for me... so if anybody can help me... i realy need some help to fix this mystery!!!
    Special thanks!

    As the router modem is already doing NAT why use NAT in the server?
    If you want to use OpenDirectory and other services you should/need to set up the DNS correctly using the server's private IP (and others in the same range the server is setup with). The domainname used internally can be different than your public one.
    And then use the server as the only DNS for you LAN clients and the server itself. Forwarders (your ISP DNSes) in /etc/named.conf usually speeds up lookups of external addresses (also turning off IPv6 can help that too).

  • Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?

    Question
    Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
    Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!

    AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
    Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility.

  • Having trouble setting up Open DNS with mac.

    When I try to set up Open DNS I get the following error message:
    Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.1.1/Basic.tri” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.
    I have a Linksys router. I can get the router so save the settings using my Microsoft laptop, but I get an "oops" error message from Open DNS saying I am not set up on their site and just sends me back to step one. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    No, you cannot put the router in front of the modem.
    You might look for any information your ISP gave you for your modem, such as a user guide. Or use the instructions at OpenDNS for a Motorola router, it should be similar. Remove the router and directly connect just one computer to the modem and try to access the modem's built in utility, as you have with your Linksys router. Motorola's default address appears to be "http://192.168.10.1/", the default username is "admin", and the password "password". If you encounter a question about obtaining the DNS service dynamically, check NO, then handset the OpenDNS servers, save and possibly restart the modem.
    If you are successful in configuring the modem, go back to the router and leave the DNS settings blank, as well as on each computer. Then the computers should receive the service dynamically from the modem.
    After all that, hopefully the OpenDNS website detects you using their service and allows you to proceed with setting up your account.

  • Trouble with DNS/NetBIOS name resolution over VPN

    I’ve got one for the DNS/WINS gurus out there who are also familiar with VPN connections.
    We have a VPN setup on our Mikrotik RouterBoard 532 for a number of employees running Windows 7 Pro laptops. Unfortunately the Mikrotik is maintained by our ISP so I don’t have access to it, but I can call them to make changes. Anyhow, I do not believe it
    is a problem with the Mikrotik.
    The problem is with resolving NetBIOS names (UNC paths, drive letters, etc…) over the VPN from remote locations, and ONLY with laptops joined to our
    abc.local domain. If I use my home PC or disjoin the domain laptop from the
    abc.local domain and return it to WORKGROUP, keeping the same Windows VPN client settings, I am able to resolve paths just fine.
    For example, when I type \\server1 from Start>Run, it fails and tells me “server1 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.” Using the FQDN is no problem at all, which makes me believe the problem is with NetBIOS resolution
    and takes me to the WINS servers on the network.
    The VPN hands out primary and secondary WINS servers, and they appear to be configured correctly in our Server 2003/2008/2012 environment. When I run
    nbtstat –A IPAddressOfLaptop from a WINS server it resolves the laptop, and the same command from the laptop looking to the server resolves OK too.
    What’s strange is that when I ping “server1” I get a valid response from server1.abc.local, as expected, but for some reason I still can’t browse to it from start>Run… “\\server1”.
    The DNS suffix abc.local is in the “DNS suffix or this connection” field in the properties of the VPN client since the Mikrotik VPN is unable to deal this to clients.
    I have ruled out Group Policy as the culprit because even after removing any group policy from applying to one of the laptops the result was the same.
    I’ve used every resource and tool that I could to try and find where the problem lies and can’t seem to solve it. Everything looks properly configured.
    I would greatly appreciate some assistance!

    When you run an ipconfig /all, do you see the WINS server addresses being provided? How about the connection specific suffix for the domain, domain.local (or whatever it is called)?
    I assume that you are using the Microtik as the VPN server and you are not using AD accounts for authentication. I would highly suggest to do that, otherwise, there will be a mismatch.
    What VPN client is being used?
    What is offering DHCP, a Windows Server or the Microtik?
    FYI, using NetBIOS connection method, such as \\server1, will use the current logged on account for authentication. If the VPN credentials are not AD credentials, but the VPN client is setting the logged on credentials account
    (some of them do that), then it will cause issues.
    From what I see that NetBIOS is not being blocked, so that doesn't appear to be an issue, but it's coming down to credentials. Maybe in the mapped drive you can preset the credentials, and might be one way around it.

  • Time Capsule blinks yellow,when I go to airport utility to set up, it Says This apple wi-fi bse station doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to internet.  My internet works, but I can't back up anything. What do I do??

    Worked fine for about a couple of weeks after my son -law installed the time capsule.  I can access the Internet both from my wife's I phone and from my desktop.  I think that I need to get the DNS server numbers and put them in the two blanks; but where do I get them?  Thanks, Jim

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.
