Performing a DNS Lookup

A DNS lookup can be performed to retrieve the IP address of a Web, FTP, Mail or
any other Server on the Internet. To perform a DNS lookup:
Choose Diagnostics > Network Tools.
Enter the WAN (Internet) Name in the text box and click Lookup. If the host or
domain entry exists, you will see a response with the IP address. A message
stating "Unknown Host" indicates that the specified Internet Name does not exist.
You can capture all packets that pass through a selected interface (LAN or WAN).
To capture packets:
Choose Diagnostics > Capture Packets.
Click Packet Trace; a new window appears.
Select the interface whose packets you want to trace and click Start. To stop the
packet capture, click Stop. You can click Download to save a copy of the packet
capture.
The packet trace is limited to 1MB of data per capture session. When the capture
file size exceeds 1MB, it will be deleted automatically and a new capture file will be
created.
Enabling logging options may generate a significant volume of log messages and
is recommended for debugging purposes only.
