Hi,
I've recently changed my SME server (7.5.1) from server and gateway mode to server only mode (replaced my modem with a Cisco router).
The SME server is still handling DHCP/DNS.
My problem seems to be that SME is refusing DNS lookups for my clients on the network. The config is something like this:
SME: 192.168.1.1
Cisco: 192.168.1.254
My clients receive the following:
IP: 192.168.1.x whatever
Default gateway: 192.168.1.254
DHCP server: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1
From SME itself I can ping google.com and it resolves, and from the client computers I can set my DNS server to an external server and they can resolve fine. I have also tried adding the same external DNS server into the SME setup (I know it's not recommended--just to test) and again the server can resolve externally, but the clients cannot using SME as the DNS server.
I have also tried pinging external IP addresses from the client, and they can.
I have also tried from the clients using NSLOOKUP, setting the server as my SME server, and running a DNS query (even to an internal dns address). However, it just times out.
Is this a service I have to enable on the server now that it's in server only mode? I haven't been able to see anything indicating that in the wiki...
Thanks,
Josh
