Gemini PDA - Android / Network DNS weirdness

« on: May 19, 2018, 06:00:31 pm »

Tried it with firefox, same.
Tried pinging from a terminal: host not found.
But also when I match the logs with the DNS server, there's no connection attempt at all.
When I change the network to static IP/DNS, the DNS server is filled out with 8.8.8.8. When you delete this, it automatically refills it with 8.8.8.8 on deleting the last (first) character.
I have to add in my DNS server first, then delete 8.8.8.8 from the end of it, so I'm suspecting that the google DNS server is actually hard coded in to the stack.

A device that can't use the assigned DNS server and connect to local machines by hostname will be pretty useless for me as a diag/light testing device, which is why I got it

Edit:
Got a result using DNS changer:
Even with the dhcp or static settings, the gemini still uses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, regardless of what the interface is showing.
Once it was looped back over an internal VPN to leave the gemini, it will use my servers.

So atm, utterly useless for what I want the unit to do.

Having the same issue with lemonssh. Going to just flash it over to linux.

Yes, I know 8.8.8.8 is google.

I've tired it on static, and I get the same results - host unknown for anything internal, regardless of if you use hostname or the fqdn.

I think I'll just move it to linux so I can see what it's doing instead.

WiFi worked OK for me...

Didn't do anything to set it up.

Wifi works fine for me too, as long as I want to access something by IP, or external to the LAN.
But internal lookups fail, and I can't even find any request for them in the logs on the server.
Running network info II on the gemini reports the correct DNS servers, it just appears to ignore them and use 8.8.8.8 regardless.

Just had my gemini delivered today, set it up, but it appears to ignore the DHCP DNS settings.
Anyone else had this?
Server supports and DHCP/DHCPv6 hands out both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and every other device (window/linux/mac/android) devices do look ups fine.
