      Dear all, i have two internet connection one is via dsl and another one via vsat.

      The dsl router is assigning ip automatically via dhcp

      The vsat is a static ip, i am inputting the static ip and gateway in the interface assign but i have no idea where to input the dns servers…

      Any suggestions? I tried searching before posting but i found some solutions that didnt work,,,

      Thank you in advance!

        If you have finished the setup and can access the webGUI then it's in System: General Setup: DNS Servers.

            Slightly complicated by having one static and one dynamic.
            Personally I have two dymanic WANs but I have chosen to use Google's DNS servers instead of my ISPs. So I have the two DNS servers entered with one on each WAN gateway (you must have at least one on each if you doing failover) and unchecked the dynamic overide box.

            I figure Google already knows everything about me anyway!  ::)

              Hehehe thats true i think google knows pretty much about you!

              Well then ill try to input 1 dns for each since i am doing failover .. Thak u will keep u updated…

              But the thing is that i have done it before and it was working with static ip but i cant remember how! And cant find the backup file! Must ask google where i put it maybe :)

                Backup config.xml are allways in Directory

                /conf/backup

                or

                /cf/conf/backup
