Affected

 

 

 

 

All

SM – DNS below

 

Microsoft Vista and Windows 7 will not route a 169.254/16 subnet used as

 

a NATed SM

 

the default Canopy subnet since these operating systems use 169.254/16

 

when DNS Server

 

subnet to talk between local machines. This is not an issue if:

 

Proxy is enabled

 

- the PC is connected directly to the NATed SM.

 

 

 

 

- the NAT/routing CPE underneath the NATed SM provides DNS services.

 

 

 

 

However; if a NAT/routing CPE that is not providing DNS services (e.g.

 

 

 

 

some home routers) is placed between the SM and the user’s PC, a

 

 

 

 

Microsoft Vista or Windows 7 machine will not route to the default

 

 

 

 

169.254/16 SM IP address space to access DNS services.

 

 

 

 

Workaround: Reconfigure the SMs NAT LAN address to a private IP

 

 

 

 

address such as 192.168/16, 172.16/12, or 10/8 or leave DNS Server

 

 

 

 

Proxy disabled.
