I am having trouble getting the DNS forwarder to work. I'm not sure if it is something that is the result of m0n0wall or my machine(s) running MacOS 10.3.5. What I am trying to do it print to shared USB printers via the built in CUPS printer sharing over a PPTP connection. This does not normally work over the PPTP connection since OS X does the sharing using rendezvous. However by adding the IP of Adroit (the print "server") to the proper place in cups.conf, the printers show up over the PPTP connection. I ran into an issue though. When printing, the print dialogue was complaining that it could not resolve Adroit.local and nothing was printing. My issue is this though. even though I have added Adroit.local (caps does matter I found) to the DNS forwarder, enabled the DNS forwarder and checked/unchecked (I tried both since it is a static IP) "register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder" AND added an override entry for Adroit, it does not work. In General setup, the hostname is set to m0n0wall and domain set to local. Version is pb24r585. $ dig Adroit.local ;; ANSWER SECTION: Adroit.Local. 0 IN A 192.168.10.99 ;; Query time: 96 msec ;; SERVER: 192.168.10.1#53(192.168.10.1) ;; WHEN: Thu Sep 16 10:24:06 2004 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 46 Seems good... $ ping Adroit.local ping: unknown host Adroit.local $ ping adroit.local ping: unknown host Adroit.local However I can ping the IP. $ ping 192.168.10.99 PING 192.168.10.99 (192.168.10.99): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.10.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=79.342 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.10.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=81.284 ms Huh, strange. I can add Adroit.local to my /etc/hosts file and ping now works. $ ping Adroit.local PING Adroit.local (192.168.10.99): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.10.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=76.066 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.10.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=74.712 ms However adding this to my hosts file is not ideal. Any suggestions on what I should do to get this working? I tried rebooting but this didn't solve my problem. I don't know what else to do. |
