decoy5657 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I have bellsouth DSL with a Linksys router. I have several machines (7) behind the router with 192.168.1.0/24 addresses.The DNS servers are set to the Bellsouth internet servers 205.152.37.254 and 205.152.132.235lets pretend all of my machines have generic names, machine1, machine2, machine3, etc..How is machine1 supposed to be able to ping machine2 and machine2 ping machine3 without local DNS? Shouldn't the linksys have a DNS server that forwards to those 205 address for non-local requests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAndle Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 If you set the router to external DNS & set your machines DNS to the router that should work. Normally you would ping the computer name for internal computers. Enable Netbios over TCP/IP. There are other options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
