Hi Guys,

I have Winroute Pro installed on my PC at home and it is configured to Dial
On Demand to BTI Surftime at the times that Surftime is available and
disconnect after 10 mins of inactivity.

This works fine from any other PC on the LAN including the iPaq. However,
if
I am using my main machine (the one with the ISDN card and Winroute Pro) it
doesnt dial on demand.

Whenever any machine causes it to connect the dial log shows....
UDP packet 192.168.0.1:53 -> 192.16.20211:53 initiated dialing
...which I understand is the DNS lookup being passed to the nameserver
(ns.EU.net).

What really confuses me is why MY machine doesnt fire up the dialer, (is it
because I am using the Winroute PC as a normal machine as well?) and why
does my machine sometimes connect with the same message even when no-one is
using any of the PC's in the house. When it does this it stays online for
10mins then drops the connection (although one time it was on for 34 mins).

Does Winroute keep a local copy of DNS on the machine and periodically
check
for updates?

Regards

Confused of Great Yarmouth (aka Keith)
