sometimes no DNS on wireless laptop from USR8054
Hi,
I am trying out this new USR8054 router (and comparing it againt D-Link's DI-524). I have a Linux Debian computer connected to the router with a CAT5 cable and a Windows XP (fully updated, except SP2) connects to the router wireless (Inspiron 5160 with a Broadcom 1350 Wireless card).
Sometimes, when the laptop wakes up from hibernation, it seems not to get any DNS server address. Ping works to LAN as well as outside. Ping outside IP addresses works but pinging URLs fails.
I have tried disabeling the wireless card and re-enabling it. No luck. I have tried restarting networking service in XP, no luck. Restarting dhcp client is also no luck. I also rebooted the router, without luck. The only thing that seems to work is rebooting the laptop.
And when everything is working fine, I notice that the laptop sees
192.168.0.1 (USR8054 LAN IP address) as the DNS as well as the gateway.Anybody else have this problem? Any suggestions?
thanks,
->HS
