Resolve Hostname
to dns1.skybroadband.com
and Resolved IP addresses
to 90.207.238.97
I think you're misunderstanding what those fields do. You are not specifying a DNS server name or IP address there. You are telling the router to check that it can correctly resolve the given hostname. It uses whatever DNS servers you have specified in the router's WAN DNS settings.The reason I am trying this, is that I want my ISP to know the device is there, as its the only time anything almost points to there dns. I do have there set top TV box's pointing to there DNS, else I use dns over tls, if there dns go's down from what I know my ISP net would be down too. also I'm trying to make its more like the sky device.
No, that would be invalid.can I add the 2nd dns to the Resolved IP addresses, 90.207.238.99...
"ping resolve" is not a thing.yes that is correct, I'm not defining a dns there just telling the router to ping resolve that dns to see if its there if not error?.
That is wrong. The hostnamealso I did not use the 1 in the dns resolve name.
dns.skybroadband.com
does not exist and therefore will not resolve.Sorry, I know nothing about Sky's IPv6 support.The only other thing I see on my ISP device, is that it has a IPV6 Loopback, what is that and do I need to use it. I have ipv6 disabled on the router as enabling breaks QOS?
It was a figure of speach,"ping resolve" is not a thing.
Fair enough matey.Sorry, I know nothing about Sky's IPv6 support.
