Hi,
I am fairly new to Cisco so please forgive my lack of knowldege on what might be quite a simple problem.
I have a Cisco 1721 router with an ADSL wic. I have followed guides on the Cisco website so that I can connect the router to my home adsl connection. The router connects to my broadband provider and sucesfully obtains an IP address along with Dynamically assigned DNS servers. I am able to ping google.co.uk from the router but not from clients attached via DHCP.
I have noticed that if I ping the IP address of google.co.uk from a client it resolves but it will not resolve the name. This would lead me to believe that the problem lies with DNS resolution/forwarding but I do not know how to investigate further.
Any help would be appreciated. Here is the config;
Thanks, Luke

Hi,
I couldn't find the DNS server you're getting from the sevrice provider...
Please add this two command:
configure terminal
ip domain lookup
ip name-server 4.4.4.4

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
I have tried your suggestion but the clients are still unable to resolve a hostname when performing a ping. Specifying an IP address works though.

Problem resolved.
I spent quite some time studying example configurations and I spotted that I hadn't enabled the dns service on the router. Quite a simple mistake in the end.
ip dns server
