Static DNS
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 12:59 pm
Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I understand that the 7800n uses DNSMasq....
I have a print server, who's machine name is, say "printserve". Via DHCP, I have assigned a fixed ip address - so, if I type "printserve" into my browser name, I go to the print servers home page. All good so far.
However, there are certain sub pages I want to enable users to go to directly - sadly, the manufacturer of the print server hasn't thought of very friendly URLs for these pages, so I want to do some simple DNS resolution inside the router...is this possible? I've tried to use the Static DNS entry under advanced config, but this doesn't seem to work.
Firmware 1.06c.dc1
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
