I hope you didnt give up and all is still working now.

What I read is that your router has the 192.168.1.1 address
Your HDA box seems to have 192.168.0.10
Your PC has 192.168.1.102

The convenient way to make all of this working is to set youy HDA box as the first DNS provider.
So if your HDA is the DHCP and DNS server everything should work but in this case the DHCP has to be desactivated in your router conf.
If your router is still your DHCP provider keep it has is if you want but check your router conf to be sure that your first DNS provider/server correspond to your HDA ip address.

When you try to reach something like http://torrent/ and iyou reach http://www.torrent.com/, it is just cause the DNS request didn't go to your hda first.
providing http://ajaxplorer.section.9. seems to answer the ip you provide to the FAI which manage the domain (your hda ip i guess)

If it works sometimes, I think it is only because you have 2 DHCP server. The rule when you have 2 DHCP server is that a client will obtain his Ip from the fastest to answer.
So if your HDA DHCP answer is the fastest, everything will works fine and if it is the router, you can't resolv your HDA names.

Hope it will help.

PS: if you still have trouble or don't feel easy to disable/modify your router conf, feel free to provide me your router model, I will provide you the right user manual page or the way to do this.

I am running DD-WRT on my router and it is current set to a DHCP forwarder to 192.168.1.10

EDIT: attached pic for reference. I have even tried entering 192.168.1.10 into the Local DNS field... still no luck

Hi,
Just to avoid to provide you wrong settings, can you please confirm some informations:

192.168.1.10 is you HDA box ip address?
If it is not what kind of box has this @ip? (the FAI DHCP provider, a Windows server DHCP/PDC box, a linux one with dhcpd enable?...)
and so what is your HDA ip address?
Do you use only one sub network (192.168.1.0/24) for you servers and client PC.


I need a last check. Please try this
SSH to your HDA box and launch this to provide the apache last logs:

Code: Select all

# tail /var/hda/platform/logs/error_log

and

Code: Select all

# tail /var/hda/platform/logs/access_log

And provide each answer

bye

[rufuslabouere]

please add the output from this command too:

Code: Select all

# tail /var/log/httpd/error_log

It only shows the last time I access http://hda -- It's not even resolving to attempt to pull any other application.

[rufuslabouere]

thanks and what about the

Code: Select all

# tail /var/log/httpd/error_log

output command

I m looking for some thing like "failed: Invalid host name"
to check if there is no apache or bind issue

[rufuslabouere]

and if it still not working, a new

ipconfig /all (just need the output for "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection")

to check if your Pc is using the right DNS and DHCP server : your hda box
