I see a problem with the MN-500 where a DNS query will fail the first time,
then succeed the second time. I see this problem in IE, or using the PING
command line. I am using firmware V1.11.017, and have tried resetting the
base station without success.
Be default, the DHCP configuration handed out by the base station assigns
the DNS server to itself. I am assuming this is to do some DNS caching. If
I manually configure my client to use the DNS servers of by ISP, the problem
goes away.
Is there a way to:
1. Have the base station hand out the DNS servers of my ISP so I do not
have to manually configure by clients with static IP's and DNS servers?
2. Have the base station give out a secondary DNS server that points
directly to my ISP's primary DNS server?
Thanks.
