I have figured this problem out, finally! On the Setup | Network top section enter a "Domain Name" that matches the workgroup name for the computers on the network. On the Setup | Network | WAN Setting | Configuration (whatever interface your are configuring), let everything be dynamically assigned or enter in the information you wish to use. Remember one of the DNS entries from the setup for use in the next step. Go to the DHCP | DHCP Setup | DNS section and enter in the "Static DNS 1" server IP as the IP of your RV042 (being used as a Gateway). This will allow the RV042 to dynamically assign the DNS to your DHCP clients that includes itself for lookup. Enter the DNS number remembered from the last step for the "Static DNS 2" server IP. Under DHCP | DHCP Setup | DNS Local Database enter your DNS entries for the static IPs you have set; single word. "Add to list" for each entry, and Save. Go to System Management | Restart <-- Restart the RV042-->Give a few minutes for things to propagate. For local network connections, typing the single DNS term into a browser should now resolve to the stored IP for the device. For PPTP VPN connections to resolve you must place the "Domain Name" used in step 1 behind the single-term DNS name you entered for the device; for example, device.domain Another way to configure this, I have my PPTP VPN connection setup to automatically ad the "Domain Name". In Windows, this setting is in the Advanced TCP/IP Settings for the IPv4 connection. Add the "Domain Name" to the "DNS suffix for this connection:" section. This is working for me. I hope you have the same experience.

I have a similar problem when trying to configure the router to dial-in and connect to the Internet via MODEMs configured as Transparent Bridges. It seems the router simply can't "dial" or something. I allowed the MODEMs to connect and issue their IPs via their DHCP services and I was able to connect and bond the two connections, as planned, but no joy getting an IP from ISP... ... View more

Use Access Rules to block the use of either of the two WANs for the specified IP range... That should work. Monitoring it would be a different story, but in theory... ... View more
