Services

This might be a stupid question, and I am sure it has already been answered, but I haven't found the answer in a day and a half.

When I ping a valid DNS name on my home network (ex: "m6809", a laptop on my network, sitting right next to me, up and running) it resolves to an OpenDNS server. This is what I get:

C:\Users\Sean>ping m6809

The name is resolving to an OpenDNS server, not the IP of the laptop. I can ping the computer with the IP address with no problem, it's at 192.168.1.20, and if I add it to my hosts file I have no problem. If I remove the OpenDNS entries, or let my ISP to override the DNS server settings, it works with the name.  However, I don't want to edit my host file every time I add a device to my network and I still want to use OpenDNS.

I have the two OpenDNS server IPs in the DNS Forwarder, and it is enabled. I also have the servers entered into the General Setup screen, with "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN" unchecked.

Until the HDD in my Monowall decided to crap the bed two days ago I didn't have the problem. Perhaps, this is not an Monowall issue, but I would be interested what kind of advice people have here. I don't know what else to add info-wise, but ask and I will post it. Thanks!

OnenDNS will resolve anything.  It will never send back a host not known, but send a results page for unknown host names.  From what you describe, you are not having any local DNS resolution.  If you are using DHCP on your LAN, you will need to have the option checked to register leases in DNS.  If you are using static IP addresses, you will need to add a host entry for them in the DNS forwarder.

Glad to read such a nice piece of information.
This is exciting news.
