hello everyone,

I have a problem (why else would I be posting ).
The internetconnection is the problem. Only the router can go online. The other networkcomputers have the right settings to go online. The firewall has been shutdown once and I even put all ports open another time.
But however there's something weird. I CAN access sites like yahoo etc but ONLY if I use the IP to go to the site and not the domain.

example:

-Yahoo's IP: 123.456.789
-I 'ping www.yahoo.com' at the router.
-I get the IP
-I go to a networkcomputer and type 123.456.789 in the browser and I get the Yahoo! site.
-BUT if I type http://www.yahoo.com, it DOESN'T work.

short: the name resolving doesn't work on NETWORKCOMPUTERS but perfect at the ROUTER
How to solve it?

Thanks in advance

this is nothing to do with routing, it is down to DNS. add dns servers directly to each affected machine, or look at your DHCP srever to provide correct DNS servers. if you can then ping your DNS servers there is nothing left to not work.

and of course, yahoo's address is not 123.456.789... what with that being a totally impossbile/invalid/illegal ip address... 123.45.67.89 on the other hand... ;-)

if you can surf with the IP address of the web site but not with the name add the DNS of your provider in the router

hehe I know but it says "example" hehe :P
Fine, but what should I do than to actualy make the other computers able again to go online?

like i said above... give them DNS servers through whichever means you have configured the rest of the network.

it didn't work....... but... I saw a networkmanager was running I didn't know. I turned it off and... the internet works fine now on the other computers

anyways, thanks
