Hi
I must apologize if this has become a duplicate post. I tried to post the
contents below using a different email address and it bounced with an error
message stating "Hello command: Host not found."
I am currently holidaying in a resort and surprise, surprise, I've brought
along my little router.
However, my little router is connected to the hotel's LAN. According to the
hotel, the LAN gateway is 192.168.100.1. My little router's gateway is
192.168.1.1.
(I discovered that my hotel's DNS servers have been set to those used by the
hotel's ISP, while my router's DNS servers are different and are OpenDNS
servers.)
As the wireless card in my notebook PC does not work reliably, I use a wired
LAN to connect my machine to the internet.
When the LAN cable that goes out of my machine is plugged into a hole in the
wall of my hotel room, I was able to use Tails and on a separate test, my
Microsoft Windows 7 worked as well.
But when the LAN cable that goes out of my machine is first connected to my
little router, and then a second LAN cable goes out of another port of my
little router to the hole in the wall of my room, I was unable to use Tails.
Interestingly this problem did not occur when I switched from using Tails to
using Microsoft Windows 7.
I am using a Tails DVD.
What has happened?
I googled for answers and could not find any.
Below is some info that might be of help to you (note: a.b.c.d and e.f.g.h are
the hotel's ISP's DNS servers):
