ubuntu jaunty (v9.04) vs. DLink DIR-655 gateway/router/access-point


Does anyone have experience with the D-LINK DIR-655 gateway OR router OR wireless access point? On the surface, I like this box, but it is giving me grief. Can anyone help me?

First, it wants me to use a win-dose CD configurator application.
I use the embedded web page configurator. Next, there are several configuration wizards at the embedded web page. After trying the wizards, I went to the manual screens to tinker to get something working.

So what is going on?
  • When a LAN client connects, I want DHCP to present at least two "nameserver" values ... which then make their way into /etc/resolv.conf
  • The DIR-655 plays some nameserver games like caching and blacklisting and other things. However, I get some ad-vert page from "dnssearch" or "yahoo" or similar when names don't resolve. I really don't want this behavior.
  • Network-manager does not report the connection down, however streaming anything stops or "reconnects", browsing times out, LAN side traffic seems to stop as well.

Frustrated and stumped,
~~~ 0;-Dan

Have you tried just setting the dns servers? It should be a matter of plugging in the servers and clicking "save settings"
