DNS no server specified error on all wifi activity - HTC Wizard

[frodiggs]

i must have jacked something up. first i could not get a wifi connection at home, then i flashed the firmware on the device and asked it to use the mac to connect with static IP and now the pda browsers cannot get any DNS info

netfront states no dns server specified and wireless router log states DHCP Discover no response.

must be a setting somewhere i'm missing.

wireless laptop and wired pc working fine

you can really just use the ip of a known dns from the device too
all dns servers should respond from all devices asking for the ip given the hostname

setup

cable modem to wired linksys router (DHCP on) - DI-524 wireless router connected to wired router (DHCP on)

when you say 'known IP from device' you mean the wireless router? Do you mean have the wireless router give the PDA my ISP's DNS IP?

if so what happens to my ability to browse the LAN since the devices IP is now out of the scope of my LAN

SORRY I THINK I MEAN the error is

<< DNS Discovery no repsonse. >>>

basically no DNS server found when browsing with the PDA when connected to WLAN.

PDA is ok browsing when I connect to work routers. I'm getting IP ok from home wireless dlink router but router cannot give the PDA a DNS server.

ps- wireless laptop ok for DNS connecting to the same wireless router so i'm thinking the firmware update made the dlink not like the PDA

update- i think it's the device and a setting.

now i cannot get to the internet through netfront or ie at work connected to wifi router. same error


DNS no server is specified

can get anything by IP, is wm5 wifi challenged for internet access?

any takers?
