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.
Okay - fixed address now set.
I messed up the interfaces edit! So, I had to do the DHCP disable and
do a reset & enter the info.
Will test over the next few hours.

To enable logging use the LMS web interface. Settings/Advanced/Logging
Set the plugin.bbciplayer.rtmp to INFO and click Apply.
Then try playing the BBC station and then look at the log file to see if
there are interesting entries.

Why not just use OpenDNS for your whole network? Set it up in the DHCP
server.

In fact, I'm trying to sort out a couple of issues at the same time -

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 the

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

To confirm if this is your problem - enable logging for
plugin.bbciplayer.rtmp and if you get rtmp message errors when trying to
play the BBC World station then it is the issue.

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

iface eth0 inet static

network 192.168.1.0

udhcp is most likely the DHCP client I specified my conection as static

That may be totally unrelated to DNS. But try the fixed IP approach I
suggested with the google public D

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 al

Do you mean set the dynamic DNS *name* for the touch or the address of
the DNS resolver for the touch? From your mention of OpenDNS I think you

If you are using DHCP then why not configure the DHCP server to give out
the DNS addresses you want.

I am using dhcp. Is there something like the network interfaces file I
can edit to force a static address and specific dns?

If you are not using dhcp - then edit Touch resolv.conf file.

Is there really no easy way to set up a specific DNS address for the
Touch? I really don't want to have to reset and lose all the other
settings.
