ReadyNas DNS problem
Hi, Have searched and found numerous reports on how to fix the ReadyNas (in my case ultra) DNS problems. Most of them refer to switch to DHCP. None of them are resolving my problem, which is that t...
Then you assigned the ProSafe to 192.169.0.1? If so, you would do better to change that to 10.0.0.1.
192.169.0.1 is a "real" (public) internet address, part of a block of addresses owned by a company in state of Washington (US). Using a public IP address inside a NAT can create problems with some protocols (though I don't think that is happening to you in this case, it would happen later on). You really shouldn't use someone else's public IP address, you should use one of the private address ranges I listed above.
Also, based on your post, your problem is more fundamental than DNS. Pinging the IP address 194.71.11.69 caused the timeout - DNS was not involved in that ping, as there was no address resolution involved.
What happens if you ping the ADSL modem? Nor sure from your post if that would be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254.
