DNS problem

Hi,

1. i just down loaded the software version ASG 7.X
2. I'm using the ISP as DNS forwarders.
3. Problem now after the basic setup, I still have no Internet access.

A. WebAdmin> tools> dnslookup for ie cnn.com  say unable to find anything.
127.0.0.1:53 comes up as the reference ip  ??? I thought it should be the ISP's  IPs

B. packet filter rule in place  >> internal network   dns  any

Why does it keep using 127.0.0.1 as the lookup?

Any tips?

Do you have a masquerading rule defined for your internal network to the external interface?

Can you ping out to the Internet by IP, but not by DNS name?

yes (packet filter rules>NAT>)

Thats pinging a DNS name. Try pinging an IP instead.

ping 4.2.2.1
is a good test as it's easy to remember, and is always up.

Unable to ping any ip other then 192.168.2.100. Pinging any Ip outside of the network or domain name will not work. Unable to find or resolve the name

4.2.2.1 - .6 are public DNS servers run by Level 3. The IP's are easy to remember, and the L3 setup is fully redundant and very reliable. Outside of that, there's nothing special about them.

Newcdn, can you ping 4.2.2.1 from the tools menu in the Astaro? If not, have you used this connection successfully before the Astaro?
