BEFSX41 1.52.16 ignores the DNS settings

Hi all

I think I have found quite a serious problem (for me) with the latest firmware BEFSX41 (v 1.52.16.4).

All first Base: the router is connected directly to a cable modem and gets it's IP through DHCP. My ISP uses DNS servers who harvest unknown DNS names and redirects them to a server which offers suggested sites. The biggest problem is that it can return a public IP address when you are looking for a name for a server in my VPN and causes all my VPN traffic get routed to public IP addresses.

The solution is to configure the router to use (sometimes provided by my ISP) DNS servers that do not have this behavior. This worked great by setting these servers on the settings page in the BEFSX v1.52.10.

The problem occurred when I updated the firmware (hoping it would fix more problems than he solved) to version 1.52.16. The new version now does not take into account the configured DNS settings and always use the assigned DNS servers DHCP protocol.

My question is therefore of two parts:

  1. Where can I find a (reliable) download of the 1.52.10 firmware, so I can get my VPN works again? Or is there a better version of firmware I should use that would have this problem fixed?
  2. What is the best way to ensure Linksys is aware of the issue, so that I can get fixed in the next update?

Thank you!

According to what features are most important to you, new firmware on the router is certainly not always better!

Here is a place where to try for your BEFSX41:

Anyone no matter what firmware for the BEFSR41 v4.3 that allows traffic logging feature to actually exit traffic data?

See you soon!

  • How can I get to the screen to insert the DNS settings? Printer continues to fall from the network

    Windows 7

    Photosmart 6520

    How can I get to the screen to insert the DNS settings? Wireless network printer continues to fall.

    The screen to manually set the DNS and IP parameters is in the SAP, or shipped to the printer Web server.  To access this page, it will take the IP address of the printer.  This information is found by pressing the icon on the front of the Photosmart 6520 wireless.

    Once again, we have the IP address, and then they could type this information in the address bar of their favorite browser.

    On another thread, you have mentioned the difficulties getting to the Web integrated printer server.  It is possible that the printer has a valid IP address, but still has no "communication" with the router.  Have you tried to enter the menu of the 6520 wireless and default network selection.  After having done that, then we can re - run the Wireless Setup Wizard in the wireless menu to reconnect the printer to the network.

    With this new valid IP address, you can access SAP of the printer?  In addition, make sure that the printer and the PC are connected to the same network access point.  Let me know how it goes.

  • Dial-up connections do not reset the DNS settings.

    Logins V6.11 on Windows 7.

    When I switch to my working AC connection profile does not change the DNS settings.

    For the profile of my house, I specify a specific DNS SERVER to use in the "Override default DNS and TCP/IP" settings.

    For my work in the settings 'Override TCP/IP and DNS default' profile, I said to the "Obtain DNS server address automatically."

    However, when I go home profile to work profile, it maintains specific DNS servers (from the host profile) in the TCP/IP settings, and I need to go and change the TCP/IP DNS settings manually.

    My job profile is marked as available for automatic location switching profile and the profile of home is defined as my favorite WLAN profile.

    No idea why AC cannot apply the "Obtain DNS server address automatically" setting when it switches to the job profile?

    Thank you.

    Argh!... Solution:

    Create a profile and set it to "Use the following DNS server address" but leave the list empty DNS server address.

    Safe profile, be happy!

    Don't ask me if you change the new profile and find the radio button to "Obtain DNS server address automatically". There is work if you go this way.

    Thanks lenovo for the loss of time :/

  • Change the DNS settings in the Pool of IP network

    Hello

    Due to a migration of our DNS servers, I have to change the IP addresses of the DNS servers defined in the (currently used) our BDE server IP pools. There is a Hadoop cluster with a large amount of data running using this pool and I do not have to deploy the cluster again. Restart of the cluster is not matter, so I planned the settings DNS for the cluster nodes have to change after reboot. Unlikely, I could not change the DNS settings. Is there a way (perhaps non-elegant) change those settings for the pool?

    See you soon,.

    Dustin

    Hi Dustin,

    BDE provides the interface to change the DNS server in the network added to the BDE.  You must change the BDE database to do.  Here is the solution:

    1 Server BDE connect you as user serengeti

    2. run this command: echo ' network dns1 set update = 'the_new_dns_server_ip' where name = 'the_network_name '; \q" | psql

    3. apply the new DNS server. There are two approach. You can choose one.

    (a) connection BDE CLI and run "cluster stop - name...". ' and 'start cluster - name... '. "to restart the virtual machines in the cluster, then the new DNS server will be applied.

    (b) on BDE server, run "serengeti - ssh.sh cluster_name " sudo sed-i of | nameserver. * | nameserver the_new_dns_server_ip| ' g' / etc/etc/resolv.CONF. The new DNS server should take effect immediately.

    Thank you for using BDE.

  • Why won't my router save the changes to 192.168.0.1 DNS settings? (DGN2200v4)

    I just bought a DGN2200v4 and successfully connected to the internet. However, it took me ages to figure out how to save the changes made to DNS settings. (I wanted to use "OpenDNS" on 208.67.222.222)

    It turns out that if I connect to the router through 192.168.0.1, I can not change the DNS settings. When I click "Apply" after entering the new numbering, it takes 30 seconds or more for the progress bar for complete, but no change is made. i.e. it does not save the changes I made.

    If instead I connect to the router via www.routerlogin.net, changes are correctly saved after clicking 'Apply', with the progress bar by taking 30 seconds or more.

    I tried several times with consistent results. Why 192.168.0.1 not working then as www.routerlogin.net don't? I thought they were equivalent - the webpage 'Netgear genius' is identical on both...

    JCA says:


    Also, do you recommend make a factory hard reset after the firmware update, or there at - there no need?

    Sorry for the late reply.

    Personally, I tend to reset factory and re - enter the settings manually, unless I've saved a backup of this same version of the firmware. However, I use Netgear as Access Points routers and so I have little data to re-enter. To some people will say that a factory reset is useless and very often they would be correct, but the effects of factory reset no when it may be necessary are often difficult to predict. I was moderator on these forums for a dozen years, and have seen hundreds of threads where the solution to the problems after an update of the firmware has been at the factory to reset the router.

  • Lose the client computer's DNS settings

    I have several PC under Windows 7 on a SBS 2011 domain. We statically defined DNS settings on all of the client computer. The DNS settings are somehow have cleared away somehow. Essentially, the secondary DNS server is depolluted. The main DNS server, which is the domain controller, remains intact. Event logs do not have me all good on that. Any input on where I should start looking for would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why the proxy settings are not respected

    I set up SSH as a proxy server on my laptop when I'm on a public network and configure Firefox to use the proxy by completing the manual Proxy config.

    If SSH doesn't work, I get this error message as expected: "the proxy server refuses connections" when I try to access any website EXCEPT Google.

    Searches on Google and access Google.com still works, even when the proxy server is not up. That seems broken.

    When the proxy server IS up, Google searches do not appear to use it.

    Google is my default search provider. If I try to access Bing, Firefox is behaving as expected (no access when proxy is out, throw up debugging indicating new connections when the proxy is up). If I change from Bing to be default search provider, the behavior of the two remains the same (proxy will use Bing, Google does not work).

    Why access to Google (and only Google?) ignore the proxy settings? Are there other sites of 'magic' that would also ignore the proxy? I use the proxy because I want to protect my internet traffic when I'm on public networks, if Firefox can randomly ignore them for some sites but not others, how can I trust him?

    My configuration problem. I realized that any site that uses https worked, while others are not.

    Somehow the "use this proxy server for all protocols" got unchecked. Audit, it solves the problem.

  • WAG54G2 DNS settings

    Hi all

    I have a very weird.

    I have a WAG54G2 and I'm trying to update the DNS settings on the router. I put in the new details, they record without any problem. However when I disconnect/connect or reboot and check the status page they do not seem to be updated. However if I go back to the Setup page the new DNS settings are there.

    I had a good hunt on Google and forums but can't seem to find anything useful.

    Any ideas are appreciated.

    See you soon

    Steve

    If you then attempt to static DNS entry of the side LAN on the router configuration page, you won't be able to see it on the status page of the router as DNS is on the side of the LAN, not on the side of WAN.

  • Unable to connect with the DNS server

    Recently, I went away for the weekend and came back to find that I had no internet, on all devices... So I don't know exactly how long he was out. I'm a computer and a network engineering student and I've tried everything I can think of to make it work again. Here's what I did:

    First off troubleshooting generates an error message: "failed to connect to the DNS server.

    Of course, I did reboot of the habit of my router and my devices.

    I can't connect to WiFi or direct connection via Ethernet. I tried flushing DNS via the command-line ("ipconfig/flushdns") as well as the command "netsh int ip reset", "ipconfig/release" and "ipconfig / renew." I tried to go into the settings of the network adapter and the two affecting the IPv4 and IPv6 DNS google DNS settings. I even traded my router for a new with my ISP (of Roger (Canada)). I have connected to my router through my web browser and tried to change some of the DNS settings there (everything went well). Nothing worked so I have everything set to default. I tried ping around my own network, I ping my own card NETWORK, but also the entry door, so I know that's not my PC, I have also excluded because all my devices do not work. I spoke with Rogers (my ISP) twice now and they were no help at all, they were more concerned by the flashing lights on the router as the real problem. I'll have a technician to the course to watch tomorrow, but I doubt they'll be any help at all. I wouldn't say I'm a computer genius, but I have a pretty good understanding of how things work and I can not understand what the problem is here, I can have forgotten something or forgot to mention something I tried. But if anyone has any ideas, or similar cases they decided that I would be VERY grateful for the help.

    Somehow it now shows the DNS entries in the basic configuration page. Comcast advises me to zero all these entries. When I make the attempt, a message appears saying the entry is not valid, and when I close the entrance warning comes back. The router is configured to obtain its IP address automatically of the SB 5120. This could be the cause of this behavior?

    I suggest that reset you your router and reconfigure all your router settings from scratch, reset your router should solve your problem.

  • DNS settings for the intranet server is not not a DNS

    I have an OS X server that services the on the local subnet (behind a NAT).  We have moved to a new office and installed a new firewall / local DNS and all other machines can resolve names of local computer.  But the OS X Server solves only them to the machine gateway/firewall, rather than solve them for local machines.

    If I disable the server App DNS, resolved names.  But I seem to remember that I'm not supposed to do disable the OS X Server DNS, set it instead to forward requests to the gateway.  Unfortunately the Google Machine isn't helping me, because every sentence google I can think on OS X Server and DNS settings show how to use your OS X Server as a DNS server for the computers on your network - which is not what I want to do!

    Which, in my view, should run is listing the gateway as a forwarding server, then tell machine OS X to "Search for only some clients" and "The Server itself" selection in the dialog box "Edit Search Clients.  But it does not work.

    Any help appreciated, thanks.

    Two things you need to do:

    You must configure the host/domain name on the server and/or point the DNS address in the network preferences for 127.0.0.1

    Once you tell the server to perform searches in its own recursive cache/internet to 8.8.8.8 * or your dns public server here *, then it stops to pass requests to the gateway.

    Then set your DHCP server to serve IP addresses in DNS (10.0.0.5) servers to clients.

    Example:

    * Client DHCP address request *.
    10.0.0.10 - IP
    255.255.255.0 - mask
    10.0.0.1 - gateway
    10.0.0.5 - DNS
