Hi guys,

I am hoping someone can assist me here, I am officialy stumped...

I have a Mega 105WR (I don't even want to start talking about the Billion VGT) router at home which is giving me an interesting problem.

I have two machines, a desktop and my laptop. I am using a wireless connection for both. I am able to access the router's setup facility from either machine. I am able to browse the web freely from my laptop, but am unable to browse the web from the desktop machine.

I have tried disabling the firewall on the machine, specifying the gateway etc etc but nothing seems to help. The machine is assigned an IP address, and as I mentioned, I can see the router's setup facility.

Any ideas?
 
Hi all,

An update...

It seems that I am able to FTP on this machine, and I imagine browse (haven't tried as yet) if I specify an IP address... So I now suspect that this is a DNS issue...

Any configuration ideas?
 
Hi all,

just to let you know that I have managed to resolve it... I have taken to specifying the DNS server IP address and it seems to have worked.

Cheers!
 
A friend of mine is experiencing exactly the same issue. The client does not get assigned DNS references via DHCP. IP address and default gateway is fine, but no DNS.
As in your case, it works by manually specifying DNS servers, but this is not really a convenient solution - especially if you use a laptop on different networks.
I haven't investigated much, but read somewhere that this problem is specific to the Telkom Mega 105WR router and Windows XP (SP3) clients.
 
Got the same problem this, it is definately a DNS issuse and something to do with sp3 on xp, so if you ever find a solution let me know.
 
remus goto your tcp/ip lan connection and say assing automatic ip.

this should work

This is exactly the problem.. We are assigning "automatic ip". That part works, but it doesn't assign the DNS servers.

I will also look at the reference provided by Myzer.
 
Solved!

Thanks, Myzer, this did the trick for me! Worked on one laptop, the other 2 will be installed shortly ...

Thanks again!

:)
 
Damn! This was exactly my problem with a different DHCP server. Clearly a XP SP3 problem as the ms patch fixed everything.

Thanks Myzer
