    Question Name Resolver problem

    Folks, I have a stupid question... Does name resolving work on your WL-500b/g?

    I have a problem with PING on my patched WL-500b:
    #ping my.router
    ping: my.router: Resolver Error 0 (no error)

    It is strange to me because it happens even if I have my.router IP address specified in hosts file.

    I tried to use nslookup as well:
    #nslookup 192.168.1.1
    *** Unknown host

    Name: my.router
    Address: 192.168.1.1


    If I delete hosts file, the nslookup response is following:
    *** Unknown host

    *** Unknown host

    I played with .conf files (resolv.conf, host.conf) a bit but no luck...
    Could anybody comment / explain why I can ping only numeric IP addresses?
    Thanks in advance.

    Nobody can check this simple command for me please?

    ping my.router

    (/etc/hosts file should exist and contain something like this:
    192.168.1.1 my.router )

    Thanks, Phantome! I suppose you are using customized firmware as well. If there's anybody with original firmware who could test the ping as well and post a result here, please do it... I don't want to downgrade my WL-500b just for that test...
