Re: Zywall fw 4.01 out Are you pointing to the Zywall for DNS? I think that at one time there was a problem using the Z5 as a DNS proxy. I use my caching DNS serer as the first choice, two of my ISP servers as second and third choice and the Zywall 5 as forth choice (in case my ISP changes the IP addresses of their servers) so it takes three failure before I try my Zywall.

I use my caching DNS serer as the first choice, two of my ISP servers as second and third choice and the Zywall 5 as forth choice (in case my ISP changes the IP addresses of their servers) so it takes three failure before I try my Zywall. Currently, I have my ISP's two DNS servers setup in the Zywall dns page. (I've confirmed the servers are running at the moment!).
Then on my only machine presently plugged into any of the Zywalls LAN ports I am configured statically with the Zywall as the gateway address and of course an IP in the Zywalls subnet range.
I've also again entered my ISP's DNS servers in the TCP/IP DNS properties page.
I've also tried setting the Zywall to be DHCP server and client to use DHCP but problem remains.
The other odd thing I've noticed is - if I let the Zywall sit with no traffic for the two minutes or so and then issue a ping command to the Zywall's LAN IP, the first attempt ALWAYS times out.
Subsequent pings are fine.
Plus if I stop the pinging and restart it before the Zywall enters its "fall asleep" mode, then the first ping ALWAYS works fine.
This should negate any DNS problem I would think as I'm sending the ping with the lan IP of the Zywall.
I should have started a new thread for this problem!
Thanks everyone so far for the suggestions! |
