DNS help needed/My experience with the NetDuma


Recommended Posts

I have had multiple issues with the netduma and all have given me more than a headache and currently im stuck on that i cant access some websites that i want to because of the DNS issues im having , i cant find one that will let me on all of the websites i need. I like the product and everything and i understand that it is An early Adopter version but If i cant fix this issue within the next 2 days im going to return it and attempt to get a refund.

Did you try the google DNS servers I suggested in the other thread you made about this problem? If you did, which sites could you not access? What are the exact errors that you are getting?

 

Also, for future, if it is the same issue, try to keep it all in one thread - that way people who have issues similar to this in the future can see the thread with an answer and not a thread just left half way with no solution  :)

Yea i did i have tried loads of DNS servers that are on the internet including the google ones you suggested. I know it is the NETDUMA because i can access all the sites on my HH. I can access all the sites without making a Static IP on my NETDUMA for its self(WAN IP) and when i create one, whilst fixing the problem of the router loosing connection every 12 hours it also causes me not to access websites i want to view.

Take one if the sites that you can't access, go into a command prompt and then type 'ping ' without the pointy brackets or speech marks. Paste the results here please :)

Ok, well it looks like it isn't your DNS server because it has resolved the domain to the IP and when I type the IP into by browser I can access the BT website.

 

Are there any important settings that you have on the Netduma? Would it be possible for you do to a factory reset or would that cause too much trouble setting it back up? :)

I can access all the websites i wanted to be able to, but i have a problem, every 12 or so my ip on my net duma changes ip within the device manager so i need to set a WAN IP

 

Do you mean a Satic IP? I'm not sure how similar the HH5 is to the HH2 (which I think you have?) but here are some instructions on how to set up a static IP on the HH5.

I get it yea, but for some reason the ip changes to   The dashes are 3 numbers but dont want to risk putting the whole thing on the internet dont know if its dangerous if someone gets it, that ip adress happeneds to be My  Broadband network IP address on my HH

EDIT

It goes to that address if i dont have a static ip , after 12 hours or even if i restart the netduma

Oh, right, so thats your ISP IP, yeah, don't put that on the internet :) So can you explain what the issue is that your having cause I don't think I fully understand. Is it because you don't want that number to change.

Basically when the number changes i lose connection to the internet through the netduma for some reason, and to fix this problem i had to set a static ip so that i didn't have to fix the internet every morning just so i could go use it for the day.

So you have a static IP set up for the Netduma at the moment? Then every morning you lose connection on the Netduma? How do you usually fix it if that is correct?

Right now i dont have static ip because you told me to factory reset it. SO in 12 hours it will mess up. I usually had to factory reset, or delete it the history of it ever connection to my HH then reboot and the IP would go back to what it was.

Duma, and then when i set it it gave me the problem of not being able to access websites that i needed

EDIT

When i set it static on the duma , on my hh it said ip type -static if that helps :)

Could you set it to automatic on the Netduma and then set it to static on the HH instead?
