I am testing the version 1 firmware.

I have two HSMM mesh nodes per default configuration.

I attach a PC to each node.

I do a DNS lookup for the mesh nodes:  all mesh nodes can be resolved form any PC.

I do a DNS lookup of myself from a local PC:  name resolves.

I do a DNS lookup of a remote PC from the local PC:  i get an error message of DNS lookup rejected by localnode.local.mesh.

Is this expected behavior?

If so, it suggests that connection to resources behind a mesh node must be by ip address which is somewhat limiting.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Under node setup > dhcp and services > have you added your PC's with a host name to there local node? not the host name of the PC. Ie my PC host name is "admin-PC" but in the mesh node its connected to I named it "kd8rbh-PC". This is becouse only one device on the mesh can have the same name. By doing your call first only you need to worry about the names you have used.

That does the trick. Thanks. I had assumed that DNS for end nodes was constructed dynamically. Thanks for telling me where to configure it. 73, AB1PH Don Rolph
