Hi guys, I would like to use my fortigate device' s DNS functionality as I do not want a dedicated server. It would be good to use DNS on the Fortigate itself. I have a PPPOE connection where in I receive a static IP from the ISP when connected to the internet. While setting the interface in PPPOE mode, I cannot see the DNS option. However, this option is only visible if the interface is set to manual mode. I cannot get my internet working in manual mode i.e. Entering the IP address and so on provided by my ISP. Can someone please be of any help and let me know how I can achieve this? Regards,

    get a router that does your PPPoE infront of your fortigate. Many routers also include a necessary DSL modem. Perhaps you tell use the used ISP technic. I just asume DSL since you mentioned a phone line and asymetric bandwidth in another post. by the way. You probably won' t be happy with the Fortigate as DNS server. did you ever try to change a SOA in the zone hosted on the Fortigate?
