connection sharing issue in damageControl 2.0 Rom

I get an IP from wifi tether, but it appears dns is not working. I have a dns server but I can not browse webpages or perform an NSlookup.

I can ping the default gateway and I do get good results.

Try enabling access control in Wifi Tether and put a check mark (within the wifi app) next to each computer trying to access the wifi.

Try enabling access control in Wifi Tether and put a check mark (within the wifi app) next to each computer trying to access the wifi.

I tried it with and with out access conrol, I am able to get an IP both ways.

I can still ping the default gateway.
ipconfig /all shows my dns.

I still cant do any NSlookups or surf the web

It was a little weird now when I did my nslookup, rather than using the default gateway for dns, it was using local host 127.0.0.1.

Anybody else having similar issues, or have ideas? I am going to be in a hotel tommorrow and would really like to have network :)

Thanks in advance,

Brandon

I only know what works for me. On my phone, I click on the "Press to start tethering" button. Once that starts, I can see the network on my PC. I select that wireless network. I then go to Access control, which needs to be enabled, and select my PC. Once I do that, I've got internet access.

I do the exact same thing, and I get an IP, but it is not surfable.

aka dns does not work properly.
