The mechanism as follows:
Phase
Description
1
Apply a ping YourPC on MyPC.
2
Via this command, MyPC launches a DNS request, basically
asking:
What is the IP address of YourPC.lan ?
3
As the AST710 is the DNS server, it will respond with
the appropriate IP address, being 10.0.0.1.
4
The ping utility in MyPC will now submit the ping to
10.0.0.1 which may eventually reply.
The AST710 resolves names within the local domain, i.e. lan
(default AST710 setting) as described above.
However, all other domain names, e.g. alcatel.com, cannot be
resolved by the AST710, and are forwarded over the appropriate
link on the DSL line.
