Setting Static DNS on E4200

I recently wanted to try using the Google public DNS servers on my home network. I have a Cisco E4200 router.
On the router's administration page, I set Static DNS 1 to 8.8.8.8 and Static DNS 2 to 8.8.4.4 and saved the settings.
Even after rebooting the router, the Setup page shows the Google DNS addresses listed above, but the Status page shows 65.32.5.111 and 65.32.5.112 as being the DNS servers its using.
Does anyone know how to set the E4200 to use different DNS servers?
Thanks!

Thanks. I ran the analyzer and in the direct probing of dns resolvers section, it showed this:
Your system is configured to use 1 DNS resolver(s).
The resolver at 192.168.1.1 (tampfl-dns-cac-112) could not process the following tested types: [snipped]
192.168.1.1 is, of course, my router's local IP address.

DNS Issues, can't set static DNS server

I have an Airport Extreme (which I'll call the router). It has an IPv6 tunnel (to Hurricane Electric), so it hands out IPv4 DHCP and announces an IPv6 network as well. The DNS servers configured on the router are OpenDNS'.
My Apple TV 2 is connected via wired Ethernet to the router. It was using a DHCP address provided by the router, which made the DNS server the same address as the router. I wanted to manually set the DNS to use my ISP's, so that I can make sure the Netflix streaming issue I have is not a DNS issue.
So I changed the Apple TV to a manual address, and set the DNS server to my ISP's DNS server (Apple TV can only have one DNS server? Odd.)
After I save this, the Network page shows the correct manual IP, mask, and router, but the DNS Address is an IPv6 address (one that belongs to my network, but the entire address isn't visible), not the one I set. When I Configure TCP/IP again, and I reach the DNS Address page, the first digit of the existing address is "20", and the rest of the digits are "0". Interesting note as well: if I press Down, the number will increment to 19, and so on, but if I press Up, it changes to 0. Obviously the UI isn't designed for IPv6 addressing, but there's an IPv6 address in there nevertheless.

I have tried to set the DNS Address multiple times now, and have restarted the Apple TV. The IPv6 DNS Address persists.

After 16 hours of working i don´t have seen this easy solution. I had tried with Internet Explorer and Opera but finaly i have need to use Firefox.
Thanks a lot to solve it.

Setting the DNS Suffix in Windows-2000:

This is a solution for the frequent problem that arises during installation of iPlanet Application Server on Windows-2000 platform.
Problem: After installation completes, the installation directory remains empty, there is no entry of iAS in "Windows start menu". It doesn't install anything.
Remedy: Set the DNS Suffix.
Procedure:
Right click on My computer (icon on desktop or in windows-explorer), then click on properties, go to Network identification Tab, Click on properties, then click the more button, set the Primary DNS suffix (like india.sun.com), and also check the Change Primary DNS suffix when domain membership change check box, click all Ok buttons.
Note:
1. Make sure that it is added to the windows registry:
Just run regedit and click on the My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \ControlSet001\Services \Tcpip\Parameters key, you will see the Domain key value set to your domainname, otherwise enter the domain name into this key value, and than reboot the m/c, and than reinstall the iAS. It should work.
2. Make sure you are using static IP address.

Two Xserves running 10.5 Server and setting up DNS...

Hello.
I have two Xserves (a G5 and a new Intel), both with fresh installs of 10.5 Server on them.
Xserve #1 not going to be hosting any external services (FTP, web, email) and only housing internal, mission critical & confidential data (the server is set up with a mirror RAID on the OS drive as well as mirror RAID on the storage drives + nightly tape backups for offsite storage). Right now there are no plans for enabling iCal on this server as we're trying to keep the server as basic as possible (as we can afford zero downtime on this server), but if the initial setup of 10.5 requires configuration at first run to allow this type of thing, I'd like to deal with it now so as to keep my options open (as I know iCal on 10.5 requires Open Directory enabled).
Xserve #2 is going to host FTP (for external clients) and internal file sharing for the design/production department (basically, for transferring files back and fourth between departments, so no data via this share will be "critical" as it's only temporarily on the server and will always exist in other locations). Even though this server will not host "critical" data, it will share the same backup/RAID scheme as Xserve #1.
So, I'm curious as to how I set up DNS in this situation (so we can associate a domain name to our static IP address). We already have our main domain setup via 3rd-party hosting service (for web & email as we do not want to bring these services in-house), but we're purchasing a second domain that will be associated with company (via a static IP, so we can give a domain name instead of IP address for people needing to connect to the FTP server, make it easier for employees to remember the address for remote connections, etc.).
Because Xserve #2 is going to be hosting FTP, would it make sense to setup DNS on this server and not set it up on Xserve #1? Also, and this could just be me being paranoid, but because Xserve #1 will be housing "critical & confidential" data I want to eliminate as much contact with the outside world as possible with this server, so this is another reason I feel Xserve #2 should have DNS running instead.
Oh, and not sure if this makes any difference, but between the WAN and the LAN is a SonicWALL firewall and currently it deal with port forwarding, etc. depending on what services are being requested from the WAN (ie. remote machine connections, FileMaker remote connections, etc.).
Any advice would be appreciated!
Regards,
Kristin.

There's a couple of things in your post I don't understand:
the server is set up with a mirror RAID on the OS drive as well as mirror RAID on the storage drives
How are you doing this? Both XServes support only three internal drives and two mirrors require 4 drives. Where does the fourth drive come into play?
I'm curious as to how I set up DNS in this situation
There are numerous ways of doing this, but with a single static IP address your best bet is to leave DNS where it is - managed by your hosting provider. Just add a record in the domain zone (e.g. ftp.yourdomain.com) that has the IP address of the public interface your SonicWall firewall. You don't need a separate domain for this. You also don't need to setup internal DNS for this (although you may need internal DNS if you're running Open Directory.
Because Xserve #2 is going to be hosting FTP, would it make sense to setup DNS on this server and not set it up on Xserve #1?
Assuming you're referring to setting up a DNS server - use them BOTH. Make one of the servers the primary server (I'd pick the internal-only server for this) and set the other server to be a slave (so it copies all the zone data from the primary server). That way you have a replica of the data to provide additional resilience.

WRVS4400N DNS Options for Open VNS Using Static DNS

How can I get an ip address automatically from my ISP, but set a static DNS ip address for using Open DNS service? This can be done on many other routers including the Linksys home routers. Why doesnt it exist on WRVS4400N?

I was doing some reaserch on this router, notice the routers RV series are the ones that had this feature, however in the WRVS series this option does not exist, you can get a RV series router and use the WRVS as a access point in order to get your wireless sinal.

Unable to set Static IP in Wicd

Wicd will get an IP just fine if I let it do DHCP. When I try and set my static IP it acts like its connecting and then just says not connected. The wicd .log has:
Putting interface down
Releasing DHCP leases...
Setting false IP...
Flushing the routing table...
Putting interface up...
Setting static IP : X.X.X.164
Setting default gateway : X.X.X.1
Connecting thread exiting.
Sending connection attempt result Success
X's to not show my IP. I entered the same information into the Properties tab that I would in windows or that I do in rc.conf and resolv.conf that lets me set a static ip without using wicd. There is 2 lines that I dont have that I have left blank and wondering it this is why its not working because I dont know what goes in them. DNS domain and Search domain(i have no idea what these 2 are looking for). I tried entering the server names for DNS 1 and 2 but that didnt work. I tried just ph.cox.net and cox.net in the DNS Domain field and that didnt work. So now im stumped and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your time reading this and any help you can give.

Well that makes me feel better, I did leave them blank but it would not connect. I actually tried googles DNS in DNS 1 and 2 and received the same results as with my proper ISP's DNS.
I did not try Global DNS Servers way that you described, I was entering in the information in the properties tab. I will go ahead and try this method.
Im correct on my gateway, I run an ipcop box as my router and set everything in my house with static IP's so I have the DNS and gateway information correct.
Thank you for your suggestion, ill go try that and see if it works.
I am not sure if it matters but I am using wicd-gtk to set everything and not doing it through the terminal with just wicd or wicd curses.

RE6500 system time not set and, why set a DNS address?

How do I set the RE6500 system time to current day if it's showing January 1970? It is connected to the router on both frequencies and the extender output is working on both frequencies. I have set the RE6500 to a static address of 192.168.1.3 as the router address is 192.168.1.1. In the RE6500 the default gateway is set to the router address of 192.168.1.1. Is it necessary to set the DNS address in the RE6500 as the router is the default gateway?

Hi Chadster766; thanks for the prompt reply. I tried using the external primary DNS address set in the router - saving and rebooting - and when that didn't work, I used the same IP address as the router 192.168.1.1. That didn't work either; I did a warm re-boot of the computer after setting the DNS in the RE6500. What am I missing or, should I reinstall the RE6500 and use the default DNS settings? I'm using Windows 7 Sp1 and the RE6500 icon does not appear in Network, so it appears to be an issue between Windows and the RE6500.

Unable to set static IP to wireless printer Officejet 6600

First sorry my poor english, still keep trying We do have an HP Officjet 6600 Printer for about 6 months.This printer has USB and WLAN, but no LAN port. We used the printer until 2 weeks ago. At that time, **bleep** starts ...As long as we used the printer, he was connected via Automated WLAN (DHCP) and everything worked fine.The printer was connected to our WLAN Modem which assigned the DHCP IP Adress automatically.Then, our Internet provider updated our cable modem, which is also our WLAN router, and since that time, the printer does not work anymore. He always shows an error after booting, and told us to restart the printer, and all lamps of the printer are continously blinking. There is no way to access the printer menus on the printer.After a long and intensiv internet research, i found out that the cable modem is responsible for the printer error!It looks like the WLAN DHCP Server of the cable modem sends DHCP messages, which the printer cannot use correctly. If I shut down the modem (with the integrated WLAN router), the printer boots normal without an error, but I cannot use him becaused he is not connected to WLAN as because the modem is offline.So I wanted to set the printer to not use DHCP by assigning static IP to the printer. But this does not work! I tried 10 times or more to assign static IP, Subnet, Gateway and DNS-Server, no way, the printer always show "IP not set" (same for the others). Can anybody tell me why I'm not able to set static IP, Gateway etc. to the printer?!Thanks for every suggestion.

Hi , Thanks for reaching out to the HP Forums. I understand you are having some difficulty modifying your network settings. Since you now have a new cable modem, let's start with a more basic approach. Please use the following document for instruction to reset the printer to your new network settings: Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless Network. You may notice, when you open the link, that the full title mentions the Photosmart B209a, the instructions presented apply to your printer to so please don't be alarmed. I hope this helps.

WRT54GS static DNS entries

Hi,
I am setting up the WRT54GS to use my own static DNS servers inside the
text fields "Static DNS 1-3" under the setup tab. I just want to confirm
the router will use the DNS servers in numerical order? That is DNS server 1 will be used first and DNS server 3 will be used as a last resort. It seems intuitive the router would work this way BUT I want to confirm this before relying upon the feature.
Also can the router automatically use the DNS servers provide by the ISP
if user specified DNS servers noted are not operational?
Thanks,

Assuming you are using DHCP, configure your router with the DNS servers in the order you want. From your PC go to a command prompt and insure you have the updated IP config by typing in ipconfig /renew. Then type ipconfig /all. The output provided will tell you the order of DNS servers that will be tried.
Your second question:
The router will not use the default ISP DNS servers if your hardcoded DNS servers fail. By typing in DNS entries in the router, your are overidding the DHCP feature in your router.

Setting up DNS on Xserve when DHCP and Nat ae controlled by windows machine

Trying to set up an Intel based Xserve on an internal network to have 6 other G5's authenticate to. But I am having problems setting up DNS.
This server is being added to a windows network that has DHCP and NAT handled by a different windows machine. I have also assigned the xserve with a static IP address of 192.168.1.XXX Now this server is just going to run a few programs for the 6 macs in the art department. Software Update, Version Cue, Suitcase Server. I have version cue and suitcase server up and running. But I would also like to have the macs authenticate to the server for the updates.
If I type in hostname at terminal I get:
localhost.xserve
and when I type in host 192.168.1.XXX
I get some error about no name aviable or something...
How can I setup simple dns just for the server? Would there be any down falls for having DNS setup on this machine when it is conected to a windowws network?
Please help. Sorry for the long winded explination.

Yes, it's possible. Although I'm no longer favorable towards fake "domains" like .lan or the like.
Besides which (and most people don't know) ".lan" is actually an existant TLD. So it's not so great either.
Set the server to what it's FQDN should be, and set it to answer to & for itself only.
Is everything else internally using ".lan" ? If not you're going to have to point clients to your server strictly by IP alone and while that's fine, this setup is starting to sound just ugly, if not somewhat Frankenstein-ian
But to limit requests you'll have to edit /etc/named.conf by hand.
Google can lead you to the information, there's plenty out there - here's one for example:

WRT54G Setting static ip and port forwarding for Xbox360

1)This is my first post and I'm a little new at this. I have a WRT54G v5 router with the latest firmware update. I have the proper ports fowarded that I found on this site. I basically want full priority to my xbox360 because I have been having some lag issues and dropping out of rooms, especially when someone is on the computer. I set a static ip on the xbox, I just picked 192.168.1.36 (Is that an ok #?).
2)I have everything hardwired so I disabled 'wireless access web" under administration and I also disabled "wireless network mode" under the "Wireless" section. Is this correct or ok?? I don't want my neighbors or anything wireless accessing my router, will that do the trick?
3)I'm looking at the first page you see at the linksys config page (under setup) and I see a section that says
Static DNS 1:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Static DNS 2:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Static DNS 3:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
My question is do I need to put the static ip that I assigned to my xbox in one of these static DNS entry spots??
4)Under: Applications & Gaming>QoS I set Ethernet port 4 (the one my xbox is on) to high priority. Is that all I need to do to get priority to the xbox over the computer? Or do I need to enter something under "Device Priority" such as device name, mac address, etc.? And do I need to enter something under "Application priority" such as: Application Name, Optimize Gaming Applications, Priority, and Speciific port #, etc.??
5) Should I disable UPnP?
It's kind of a lot of questions but I really want to understand this fully, any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks alot!

How to set up DNS behind a NAT router...

I am trying to configure DNS in Panther Server as the SOA for my domains and as a LAN name server. I've read several explainations about setting up DNS including technical document 106853 "How to set up DNS in a NAT environment" which says:
Note: For Mac OS X Server 10.3 or later, you should use the Server Admin
application to configure DNS and NAT. Please see the Network Services
Administration Guide for additional information.
Seeing how picky BIND is, this sounds like a good idea, except I can't configure views like that.
Questions:
1) What happens if I create an A record in my main domain for newmac.mydomain.com-->10.0.1.2? People outside the LAN can't get to it, right?
2) Can I create really simple names for the LAN like newmac-->10.0.1.2?
Thanks!

You can use "system-config-network" command to configure your DNS configuration.

How to set static IP for C4599 printer ???

Re: C4599, wireless Error-Printing, unable to 'communicate' with the device ???
Sure we can set a static IP (actually we are going to reserve an IP address - even better). But first, please mark the post that helped you solve the problem as "Accepted Solution".
Connect to the wireless router by typing the IP address of the wireless router in the address field of your browser, then click Enter. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the wireless router. The wireless router will prompt you to enter the user name of 'admin' and the password. The default password is 'password'.
See the procedure on page 8-16 of this < http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... > document to reserve and IP address for your printer.
You will need the MAC address of your printer (this is on the Network Config Page you printed from the front panel of the printer).

Thank you for the followup.
Just got back to this thread after trying what you suggested re new install program.
Months ago, when originally tried to install new C4500, spent weekend, literally 4hrs on a Sat and 4hrs the following Sun with HP support on the phone trying to get C4500 wireless to work.
Finally downloaded a new install program and after installing that and making other numerous setup adjustments, which I cant remember, it worked (the only saving grace for the time spent) for a while.
But for the sake of trying, we did put in the original disk, just like page 4 (or our original paper manual) instructed (per your last post).
The disk loaded and the program did its thing and then get...
"A newer version fo this software is alredy installe on you HP HPPhotosmare C4500 series computer."
So clicked 'finish'.
Then loaded...
PS_AIO_04_C4500_USW_Full_Win_enu_120_210_NB.exe
...which we thougth was the new installer program which we downloaded those months ago (same one you suggested).
Started the '4 step' process.
Got to 'step 3' and it connected to printer with usb cable.
Along the way got message from 'network diagnostics'...
"The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name.
The gateway address of the printer does not match the network to which the printer is connected. Reconfigure the setting on your printer to match."
Tried changing ip addresses at network settings, but no help.
Clicked on disregard and proceed.
Started 'Network diagnostics' and got...
HPPhotoshopEssential 'install' bar window.
Either way, disk or new install program, get pop-up window with message...
'The feature you are tryong to use is on a CD-ROM or tother removabledisk that inot available. Insert the 'HPPyotosmartEsesential' disk and click OK."
Moved HP .msi and .cab files to same directory with ...NB.exe file.
Install went ahead, and then needed 'setup.exe'.
Opened setup.exe at disk and install went ahead.
Installed latext updated 'HP Solution Center'.
It showed both the C4500usb and wireless, but still wireless not 'connected'.
Ran diagnostics and got same 'diagnostics' message as above.
Made sure hardware enabled etc.
How to fix ?
Thanks again for your help !
