PC Bypassing Router DNS
« on: April 04, 2012, 10:22:54 AM »
I have a situation that may be a little unusual here. I need to have the DNS servers used by the router be for our isp, but the DNS servers used by our individual pc's to point to a different location. The reason being that we are filtering web browsing on the PC's, but setting that at the router level messes up our VOIP and CC processing. I know how to set the DNS servers on the PC's themselves. But as stated we have problems with the phones and cc processing equipment if I change from our ISP's DNS servers and/or uncheck 'Enable DNS Relay', which makes the filtering work on the pc's but the other devices no longer have a connection.

Is this even possible? I appreciate any help anyone can provide...

After you have disabled DNS relay, have you specified DNS under Setup/Internet/Manual? By default the router automatically select ISP DNS in detection from the ISP Modem. If you can specify DNS and still leave DNS relay disabled and this should be passed to the the devices that are set up for auto obtain IP addressing.

I tried it both ways (with and without entering a DNS in the router under the 'manual setup') with the same result..

Sounds to me like you are using Chrome browser.  Chrome is reported to harvest your personal infomation and route you through their preferred route.

Make sure you have blocked Google-Analytics and do not use Chrome.

You might try IE and not FireFox as a diagnostic tool, just in case they are doing the same as Chrome.

Not sure what you are getting at Marm... as I stated we are already using both (every computer has I.E. and a couple also have FF)...

one thing perhaps I should add is that this setup worked previously on a very old router that died, the new DI-655 replacement is where the problems started... I am not sure what I.E. or FF would have to do now that they weren't doing before in regards to interferring with the PC based DNS settings versus the router... I do appreciate your responses though...
