[FreddyLoi]

Hi all

I have a ipsec RA vpn o a cisco 871 router, when i connect via vpn, i am able

to ping but i cannot resolve internal hostnames.

I will attach the running config, I you have an idea, please inform me.

Thank you

Hi freedy,

can you please explain :-

crypto isakmp client configuration group APK
key $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
dns 192.168.254.1 8.8.8.8

why do you have crypto 192.168.254.1 there as I see that as the ip add of vlan 1. you need to mention the ip address of your internal dns server there.

also you do not need 8.8.8.8 , I have seen issues with this google dns server.

Hi Manish

It's just a small remote office, and i wnat to use the router as dns server.

I'll remove the google dns server.

Thanks

Hi Freedy :-

Please use the following link for creating local host to name mapping on your router for it to work as dns server , I do see that you have ip dns server enable but you still need to create a database.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipaddr/configuration/guide/iad_config_dns_ps6350_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html#wp1061435

The sh hosts command should display cached info as well as info that you created.

Hi Manish

Thanks for the help it works fine now, but now we

don't have internal dns.

We can only browse to shared folders with the ip address, and for some

users it appaers to be to difficult.

Any ideas?
