DNS server not working fine

[Tjalling]

Hi, I used the troubleshooter and here is the result. Can anybody help me? I look several days in all the FAQs and the forum but i cannot find an answer for my problem. I appreciate help very much. Thanks a lot.


Step 1: Your HDA IP address is 192.168.178.26
Step 2: Your HDA domain name is home.com
Step 3: Your router IP address is 192.168.178.1
Step 4: Your HDA DNS server is NOT working fine for local hostnames.

Are you using Amahi as your DHCP and sole DNS server? If you use Amahi for primary DNS and a different one for secondary, things will not work correctly.

Ensure you are not setting the DNS server in your router to point elsewhere. If you have to enable DNS on your router, point it towards your HDA IP address.

Hello Bigfoot,
Thanks for your reply. I already did several times what you suggest. But it didn't work. At last I found the answer for the problem. In Windows 7 I have IPv6 activated. When I deactivated it, the problem was gone. It is rather curious that I do not have the problem on my Jolicloud- and my Ubuntu computer. Perhaps Amahi can take care of this issue.
By the way, sorry for my English.
With regards, Tjalling
