DNS issue

Explosive_Cornflake

Hi,
Eh, I somehow added an IP on my local network as DNS on my router. It's coming up as DNS, and it is being passed through by DHCP. I could reset the rourter, but that's a lazy solution. Anyway, the router is a Linksys WRT 54 GS, well a picture paints a thousand words.

ccoffey@Elzar:~> cat /etc/resolv.conf
# generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!



nameserver 192.168.1.101
nameserver 83.245.40.10
nameserver 64.5.32.38

Anyone got an ideas of an elegant solution to fix it, on the router?

Google isn't helping, the one relevant thread I found was giving out about NetworkManager's intransparency! Respondents to that suggested that the ns addresses are coming from dhcp, but that's rubbish in your case. Is grep available on the box, or can you copy the files somewhere it is? The ip address has to be stored somewhere you can edit it out from...

I don't have a wrt but would it not be possible to

echo -e IP \\n IP > /etc/resolv.conf

It's nothing to do with the machine, it's just the router. On my windows machine

Oh well, I don't mind doing a reset, have to stick stuff in the attic later anyway.
I can edit resolv.conf myself, but I'd need to do it everytime after dhcpcd.
I wonder how I did it. I was messing about with somesettings on the router and set something to that IP, deleted it, but for some reason it's still in as DNS 1.
I should point out, there are no computers on the network 192.168.1.101. The internet still works, but I'd imagine it queries 192.168.1.101 first, waits for a time out, and then tries 2. Oh well. Thanks for your time so far.

Have a look in the Local Network page - you may have an entry for Local DNS that you can clear. Better yet, assuming this model does DNS forwarding, set your Local DNS to 192.168.1.1.
