!!! Actiontec GT701-WG DNS problem temporary solution: !!! Normally I don't answer my own post, but I've found a "temporary" solution here. This solution will __bypass the dproxy__ completely. The only drawback I can see to this method is that you lose the ability to access your modem at http://dslmodem.home/. Well, I'm not going to lose sleep over _that_! I guess you also lose the DNS caching on the modem, but hey, no big deal. 1. Telnet into your modem (username admin, password admin). 2. Change the dns line in your /etc/udhcpd.conf from this: opt dns 192.168.0.1 206.81.128.1 to something like this: opt dns 206.81.128.1 205.171.3.65 (where the two IP addresses are the IP addresses of the DNS servers found in the /etc/resolv.conf). 3. Do _NOT_ kill udhcpd - If you do it will restart and overwrite udhcpd.conf, losing your changes. 4. Do a DHCP release, renew on the router/computer connected to your modem. Note: You won't find vi or emacs on your busybox, so you might have to use cat (cat > udhcpd.conf) like I did, and recreate the file line by line (about 10 lines long). So, as you can see, we took out 192.168.0.1 from the dns that is sent to a DHCP request, so whatever connects to your modem will no longer use the modem as a dns proxy/gateway. Say goodbye to "Trying 1.0.0.0..." Phillip -- Phillip Hellewell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
