I have recently installed Windows 2000 Pro with Service Pack 1 on my
computer, but whenever I try to connect to Demon using Turnpike
(versions 5.01 and 6 beta 1) I am unable to get DNS. I can ping remote
machines using dotted quad addresses, so routing is working OK, but
translating host addresses fails.
The connection property details are as follows:
General
Connect using Modem - Courier V. Everything V90 etc.
Use Dialling Rules
Options
Dialling options
All unchecked except 'Prompt for phone number'
Security
'Typical' is checked
Allow unsecured password
Networking
Dial-up server: PPP; Windows 95/98/NT4/2000, Internet
Settings
Enable LCP extensions - checked
Enable software compression - unchecked
Negotiate multilink for single link connections
Components used:
TCP/IP
Client for Microsoft Networks
Ipconfig /all shows:
PPP adapter Demon:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix :
Description : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
Physical Address : 00-53-45-00-00-00
DHCP Enabled : No
IP Address : 158.152.162.80
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway : 158.152.162.80
DNS Servers : 158.152.1.43
: 158.152.1.58
I have received a lot of help from the folk in demon.ip.support.turnpike
but it mainly boils down to 'it works for them, but not for me'. I have
been re-directed here, and would be grateful for any help.
