Hello,

after having openwrt successfully installed on my wrt54g router I run in a few problems.
dnsmasq doesn't read /etc/ethers, but the answer on the FAQ on http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/dnsmasq
doesn't work:

root@wrt54g:~# ipkg -force-overwrite -force-reinstall install http://downloads.openwrt.org/people/nbd/ whiterussian/packages/dnsmasq_2.22-2_mipsel.ipk
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/people/nbd/
An error ocurred, return value: 21.
Collected errors:
ipkg_download: ERROR: failed to unlink /tmp/ipkg-1YoTvQ/: Is a directory

The fs is writable, I can manually mkdir/rmdir the given directory.

Second question on dhcp configuration: Where do I put the nameservers address that the clients put in /etc/resolv.conf?
Or is there a way to forward dns requests from the dhcp clients to dedicated dns server on the WAN port?
This is not done by default though /etc/resolv.conf on the router is setup correct.

TIA -- Peter

Please see post #7 in the dnsmasq - how to set domain name? thread, thanks.

EDIT: The Wiki page is updated.

Thanks,

of course I know the semantics of a unix \ at EOL... ;-)

After looking at it a bit more in detail I found there was a space in the download URL. Anyway I managed to wget the file and scp it to the router in the meantime.

Regarding my second question: dnsmasq allways puts its own ip address in the nameserver section of the clients. Where can I set the correct one or:  How do I enable dnsmasq to forward requests to a dns server given in /etc/resolv.conf on the router?

Thanks -- Peter
