Topic: need help with dns setting

hi everyone

i'm running chillispot with freeRadius in centos

and when i run chillispot and try to test it from a client pc it doesn't direct me to my hotspot page

and just when i try an ip address it direct me to it .

so i think the problem is with the dns settings .

so i want to know do  chillispot have it own (default) dns setting or do i have to assign the dns servers by my own
because i used the openDNS and it still didn't work

please i really wants help with this as soon as possible .

Re: need help with dns setting

Are you sure that you have this 2 line in your chilli.conf ?

dns1 208.67.222.222
dns2 208.67.220.220

These two adresses are the ones of openDNS.

And yes you need to assign DNS Server (as I know there isn't any default conf for this)

so, it works only when you usin ip-adres instead domain-name?

yes thats right

what is in your /etc/nsswitch.conf file?

this is the nsswitch.conf

# An example Name Service Switch config file. This file should be

# The entry '[NOTFOUND=return]' means that the search for an

# Legal entries are:
#
#    nisplus or nis+        Use NIS+ (NIS version 3)

#    compat            Use NIS on compat mode
#    hesiod            Use Hesiod for user lookups
#    [NOTFOUND=return]    Stop searching if not found so far
#

# To use db, put the "db" in front of "files" for entries you want to be

# Example:
#passwd:    db files nisplus nis
#shadow:    db files nisplus nis
#group:     db files nisplus nis

passwd:     files
shadow:     files

#hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns
