Basilisk II - Multiple DNS servers

Post by MichalN »

Hi,
I'm trying to follow this tutorial:

It seems to go fine, until...

DNS servers "fail through" where if the first one doesn't work, it tries the next.

Either choose the first DNS server, or just hard-code your DNS server to "1.1.1.1" which is a free and open DNS server run by CloudFlare.

I can't select the first one. When I do, System 7.5.3 blocks it, because the format has to be x.x.x.x and not whatever format fe80::1%19 is.

Hi,

Basilisk is not aware of IP version 6 addresses ;-)
Only v4 addresses such as 4.2.2.2 can be used.

Best,

Thanks for the info Cat_7! I've lost the folder with Basilisk II due to a hard drive failure a long time ago. I'm trying Basilisk II on Ubuntu now.
