Title: DNS proxy not providing DHCP client addresses Post by: ChrisCaterer on Monday 07 September 2009, 04:37:54 pm I have done a fair bit of searching and have found a few similar situations but no resolution. ;)
Has anyone worked out how to get the DNS proxy to provide details of the DHCP clients? For example, if I have a DHCP client named fred that has been allocated an address of 192.168.54.2 and another client named jane that has been allocated an address of 192.168.54.5, then if I am on fred and try to ping jane using "ping jane" I would expect fred to ask for some name resolution and be given jane's address (192.18.54.5) and the ping to start. What am getting is a total lack of name resolution. If I try "ping www.google.com.au" I get an IP address and the ping runs fine. If I ping a local server that I have added to the known servers list I get name resolution. At the moment there is no value in using DHCP at all. The only way I can find any computer on the local network is to give it a static address and put it on the known servers list. >:( Any help please.

So long and thanks for all the... Title: Re: DNS proxy not providing DHCP client addresses Post by: Steve on Wednesday 09 September 2009, 04:10:27 pm I have DNS Proxy active and Transparent on GREEN, and Under Services => DHCP Server, I can see all my dhcp clients listed under the 'Hostname' column.
I can also ping any machine from any other machine using the hostname. All machines are on the Green network. Title: Re: DNS proxy not providing DHCP client addresses Post by: boospy on Wednesday 24 November 2010, 08:57:51 am I have the same problem ;( and no solution. Can anyone help me please?
