Re: [PLUG] dsl woes

You have/had DNS resolution problem. Couple of ways to solve that on the router: A) let router pick DNS by DHCP from WAN side B) configure the router to use ISPs DNS servers by typing in their IPs. You could get them by: cat /etc/resolved.conf while being connected to the DSL modem directly. C)

Re: [PLUG] dsl woes

Thanks Bob, This should absolutely work - Unless you have some mis-configured routing or DNS. Despite what you hear about the use of ISP gear only. Let's diagnose this a little - with your router connected to DSL modem and a PC to LAN: * Can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? * Can you ping 192.168.107.1 ? *

Re: [PLUG] dsl woes

Fwiw, I am very interested to hear why a PC works and your router does not, because that makes zero sense from your description. Russell On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 3:34 PM, Bob Vinisky wrote: > >> On Dec 15, 2017, at 2:01 PM, Tomas Kuchta

Bob, Russell was asking a few questions and after this long, there is still no clear and definite answer. Could you please try to contain your frustrations and answer that, and only that? There is no help possible without knowing the facts. 1. What is this "dal" - what does that abbreviation

Re: [PLUG] dsl woes

From your LAN, log in to the router (I assume it has an admin interface). What are the WAN and LAN networks? On Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 4:54 PM, Russell Senior wrote: > That sounds extremely unlikely. It is possible that your router and > their modem have the same

Re: [PLUG] dsl woes

That sounds extremely unlikely. It is possible that your router and their modem have the same (conflicting) network. Your router should NAT. Their device shouldn't be able to tell that all the traffic isn't coming from that router. They shouldn't be able to see any of the hosts on your LAN.
