Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Setting a DNS - no easy way to change the Touch?
I finished switching my Touch and Radio to fixed addresses and the Google dns. All running fine. However, I now notice today that I can now access BBC World Service via BBC Radio iPlayer. I've no idea if this is as a consequence of the dns changes, or whether the Beeb changed something today. First time for weeks I've been able to get WS via this route. Sadly, I never got round to running the log so no info there. castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96847 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Setting a DNS - no easy way to change the Touch?
What I do is 1. Enable the DHCP server of the router. 2. Set the DHCP lease to infinity so they never expire - this is the very nearly the same as static as there are no lease renewals 3. Change the DNS address in the router DHCP server to use OpenDNS so the router gives the OpenDNS address to all devices which make a DHCP request. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96847 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

This is the interfaces file of my statically conected Touch using ethernet .

If you fail then just redo or repair the network in the settings and the file will be wiped , you don't have to do the whole factory sreset.

Before messing up your network But as you see my SSID is Liogor you seems to have two so you have 3 wlan interfaces specified ,you been connecting somewhere else to so it might be ok with that? Connectify-me seems to be a PC software for sharing a wlan directly so it probably it's SSID to : iface *SpeedTouch567D9A* inet dhcp script /etc/network/udhcpc_action iface *Connectify-me* inet dhcp script /etc/network/udhcpc_action iface *FTE-FEA2* inet dhcp script /etc/network/udhcpc_action I think the *bolded* is your routers SSID's the unused interfaces could possibly be removed .

Ok If a crude sketch of something that could work re static IP (note that you must set the DHCP pool in the router to not use these addresses ) Code: auto lo iface lo inet loopback mapping wlan0 script /etc/network/if_mapping auto wlan0=FTE-FEA2 iface FTE-FEA2 inet static address 192.168.x.y network 192.168.x.0 broadcast 192.168.x.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.x.1 dns z.z.z.z up echo 'nameserver z.z.z.z' /etc/resolv.conf Replace x.y.z with what you see fit gateway is your routers ip here is your hint to the value of x it usually 1 or 0 in a home network .

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Setting a DNS - no easy way to change the Touch?
In fact, I'm trying to sort out a couple of issues at the same time - bad move, I know, confounding variables! The main issue is that I have a dns redirect on the router. If the router goes down and restarts, then the dns redirect has to be re-authorised. If this happens when I'm not around then all the radios fail to connect to the Beeb, causing moans and groans from others! So, I want to redirect the radios to a standard dns. The World Service issue, I accept, is probably something else. Don't worry, I accept all responsibility for any messups! Thanks for the advice.
