Host Lookup failed, no DNS entry found?

[carvedeye]

Hi I am trying to get Genesis setup due to having to re-install everything onto a new hard drive and I keep getting this error whenever ibrowse is trying to load a site and ideas?

Here what I have done in regards to setting it up.

1. Chosen Network
2. Located the driver FastEthernet.Device
3. Entered IP 192.168.0.40
    Netmask is 255.255.255.0
    Router IP 192.168.0.1
4. DNS: 194.168.4.100 (Virgin Media)
    Domain Name: Virgin.net

But I keep getting "Host Lookup failed, no DNS entry found?"

Try changing your DNS IP to the same as your router.

I have already tried that and still getting the same outcome

Did you use the GEnesis wizard to setup the network?

Yes I ran the wizard and I have tried both my ISP DNS and my routers IP but still getting the same error.

Had lots of problems using it with mediator in the past. I used MiamiDX and then moved on to Roadshow.

For a moment I thought this thread was started by me since the problem you describe is very similar to mine. Not wanting to hijack your thread, I would just like to describe what happens in my situation. It could be useful for you.

For years now I am connecting my Amiga through my pc's internet connection (the pc has 2 network cards) and, after some Windows 10.1 update, I suddenly can no longer forward the DNS entries to my Amiga. I can ping both machines from both sides, but IBrowse keeps giving me that same error as you are describing. I didnt change anything in the configuration.

Again, my set up is a little different, but I am going to keep a close eye on this thread to see how your issue is resolved. To start with I am reinstalling Windows 10 today to see if that makes a difference (before updating).

@rvo_nl:

There have been a lot of issues with Win 10 and Internet connections recently. Before you reinstall you might want to check out the patch mentioned in this article to see if it addresses your issue:

Thanks, I can confirm that by now. Reinstalling Windows solved the issue with network sharing for me. But then, after running Windows Update, IBrowse can no longer resolve hosts. Ofcourse, I had created a 'System Restore Point' before running Windows Update, so I could easily do a rollback. But it seems Microsoft actually disables System Restore before it installs the problematic update.. :| The patch didnt work either. Sigh.. Will have to wait until someone finds a solution.

Ok so I have formatted my hard drive and reinstalled AmigaOS 3.9 with both boing bags.
Re-Installed the mediator software and have installed both my GFX Card and Network Card I then installed EasyNet and I have ran snoopdos when I open easynet (before actually connecting online) and this is what it is saying.

I would recommend you use roadshow.  I did lots of testing years ago and it gave the least amount of issues and the greatest performance.

I have a mediator card also.

I will give the demo a try and let you know
