Comment on Fixing net_update_dns_internal or “DNS update failed!” For SMB and AD by Anne Tuen

should have been

127.0.0.1 debian-proxy debian-proxy.lln.local

192.168.0.1 llnserver llnserver.lln.local
192.168.0.2 debian-proxy debian-proxy.lln.local

It seems to work, however, on my system, if you attempt to tidy it up so it looks nice, e.g.

127.0.0.1 debian-proxy debian-proxy.lln.local

192.168.0.1 llnserver llnserver.lln.local
192.168.0.2 debian-proxy debian-proxy.lln.local

ooops – multiple space have been mangled by HTML,
but in the example, all the names are lined up nice and pwetty

guess I should have used ‘ ’ or something

Just a further caveat…

Oddness of oddness, if you have a single space between the name entries, i.e

127.0.0.1 debian-proxy debian-proxy.lln.local

192.168.0.1 llnserver llnserver.lln.local
192.168.0.2 debian-proxy debian-proxy.lln.local

It seems to work, however, on my system, if you attempt to tidy it up so it looks nice, e.g.

127.0.0.1 debian-proxy debian-proxy.lln.local

192.168.0.1 llnserver llnserver.lln.local
192.168.0.2 debian-proxy debian-proxy.lln.local

the update failure returns…
what is that all about?

@Android User
This tutorial was composed using a Motorola Droid and a pfSense firewall running 1.2.x. Are you getting any errors when establishing the firewall on your Android Device? Also, are you using any kind of custom ROM?

@Android User
Should have no problems connecting to that configuration, I can test it out though for sure and let you know. In the meantime what are some of the configuration settings you have with PPTP and have you verified it works from other external client PCs?

@Adam
That’s a loaded question with tons of different answers. I can point you in the right direction if you can describe what you want. Site to site? Remote access? What home router/firewall are you running or looking to use? Let me know and I can try to assist.

Have you actually successfully got this working with pfSense? I cannot get Android 2.1 to connect via PPTP on pfSense 1.2.x nor 2.0 beta snapshots.
