hallo,
a customer of mine is trying to setup a second gateway for failover
in his 'pwtcp.ini' on PW V5.1 Dos/Window client with the entry
DefaultGW1=.......
Now when he turns off the first gateway the second one takes over
as long as TCP/IP numbers are used. As soon as TCPIP names are
used from the Nameserver, the names caanot be resolved.
Only when PC's are in the same subnet as the Nameserver the names
get resolved.
Can anybody help to troubleshoot this
Thanks

| 7373.1 | Timeout problem?? | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | S. Balachandar | Tue Mar 25 1997 00:35 | 12 |
Hi, Try increasing the Timeout value in [DNR] section of PWTCP.INI. (I hope you could ping the DNS from the other subnet, by giving the IP address!) Re Bala [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||
| 7373.2 | DNS server and static routes | RTOMS::KARNBAUMW | Mon Apr 07 1997 05:31 | 17 | |
hi,
sorry i was not correct in my first note:
The customer can reach nodes over the second
gateway if he uses node numbers, but not if
he uses node names, which are resolved by a
DNS server.
So the problem seems to be, that the DNS server
is not recognized or reached via the second
gateway.
Also the customer uses static routes on his
gateways to reach the subnet, where the DNS
server is located.
any thoughts ?
Walter
