LITes Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Unable to set up internet sharing ...DNS allocation problems? I am having trouble setting up internet sharing in certain environments. As i understand it when in a windows internet sharing environment.Pineapple's DHCP server allocates 2 DNS servers 172.16.42.1 (I understand why this is here) & 208.67.222.222 (OpenDNS??) to the clients (And it works fine in most of the networks) But on certain networks i have to manually add another DNS server (internet) for the internet to work. Should the Clients get that third DNS entry automatically? or should the internet access still work without it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Chances are it hits the pineapple, the pineapple gateways through you and hit's whatever shared internet's DNS servers are. If you want to add a third, 8.8.8.8 is google DNS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITes Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I already have 8.8.8.8 as the preferred DNS on the adapter connected to Pineapple. Hope this makes it clearer as to what i am trying to say. The clients on pineapple get the IP's (172.16.42.x), subnet mask (255.255.255.0) Router/Gateway (172.16.42.1) & 2 DNS Server addresses (172.16.42.1, 208.67.222.222) but there is no internet. However when i add the dns server (the same as whats on the adapter through which i get internet) on the CLIENT machine there is internet access.

itsm0ld Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Just asking the obvious question you are not enabling DNS spoofing in the web interface right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITes Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 DNS Spoofing is disabled. But i suppose it shouldn't matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsm0ld Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 DNS Spoofing is disabled. But i suppose it shouldn't matter? It would if you had it on and it was not configured, just wanted to make sure the obvious was covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
