[Internet] Bell Home Hub 1000 and resolving local network hostnames

Hi

got the Home Hub 1000 and surprisingly discovered that all hosts/devices getting their IP through DHCP from the hub are shown with hostname in the modem/hub's admin interface but nameserver lookups from 192.168.2.1 don't resolve - seems that the modem is not resolving any local hostnames at all. Is that known, is there a solution?

Thanks

I'm also quite disappointed that they took out DHCP reservation.

Hi
Dhcp reservation is still there. Just make sure that the device did request an iP (non static), you can set an iP for it in the network device overview.

I had to go reservation and hosts file hardcoding to get some names resolved again to work around the issue with local hostnames.
