I setup a new instance on HiFormance and told it to use the IncrediblePBX 13-13 install. After setup, the system had a great connection to the internet, could do updates, etc. However, yesterday when I was in the machine to update the GVSIP script, it wouldn't download anything. I did a reboot and when I tell it to do the "issues check" it gives me a bunch of 'cannot connect' type errors. I cannot ping any named sites, but I can ping direct IP addresses.

I've looked into the DNS options (setting nameserver or DNS1/DNS2 in various configs) but the changes revert after a reboot. How can I resolve this issue?

Did you ever resolve this? I'm seeing something very similar where I get "nameserver timeout". Thanks.

Try setting DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Then: chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

Then: reboot

How about this tip (from fpbx wiki? or was it community somewhere)?
Code:
# Nameservers - You can edit these in  File /etc/resolv.conf.head
nameserver 192.168.1.254     #(myrouterIP)
# nameserver #,
nameserver 188.165.200.156,
nameserver 51.254.25.115,
nameserver 172.104.136.243
# //End of /etc/resolv.conf.head
Then resolv.conf looks like:-
Code:
root@incrediblepbx:/etc# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by resolvconf
# Nameservers - You can edit these in  File /etc/resolv.conf.head
nameserver 192.168.1.254
# nameserver #,
nameserver 188.165.200.156,
nameserver 51.254.25.115,
nameserver 172.104.136.243
# //End of /etc/resolv.conf.head
domain lan
nameserver 192.168.1.254
Code:
root@incrediblepbx:/etc# ls -al  /etc/resolv.conf.head  /etc/resolv.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 284 Aug 17 03:21 /etc/resolv.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 222 Aug 16 13:51 /etc/resolv.conf.head

This worked for me, though I used 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 for my nameserver entries.

The issue I am seeing now is that I cannot access the system using the NeoRouter assigned IP address. I checked my HiFormance control panel and TUN/TAP is set to ON. I turned it off and back on, just to make sure. The system rebooted after each setting.

I checked in iptables -nL and I see the line that says to accept all 10.0.0.0/8; I also see the line that allows the connections from the NRclients to come into the nrserver on my system. I am connected using the nrclientcmd and the system is showing as online and available on all of my clients. I cannot ping the system using the neorouter IP address; nor can I SSH to it.

I gave up on NeoRouter - both Win10 and Win7 clients only worked once and then it was a bust. I have my server defined on the NeoRouter website with a short name as Ward suggested - have not tried the long name in the client as both windows machines no longer register the network adapter at 10.0.0.X. Via the NeoRouter site, I can sign on and all is good to go, it's just Windows not registering the network adapter for NeoRouter. It did work once, but no more. Not worth spending a lot of time on it although I do like the concept.

I don't even bother with the neorouter site. I have a static IP on hiformance so I am using a FQDN to my server. As I said, the clients all log in and I can see they are all online and the linux box is online, but I cannot connect to the linux box across the neorouter network. As you say, when I first install it, it works fine, but then it just stops working and there is no indication of what is broken.

Hmm ... I Logged out and back in on my WIndows desktop NR client and I am able to connect to my Hiformance box using the neorouter IP address now. I wonder if that's a bug on neorouter's client then?

For the record, we use NeoRouter with several dozen servers all day, every day and rarely have a problem.

Well, I kept at it and finally got it working. There was an article posted on Google I came across as a number of folks had issue with the adapter after W10 updates. The author recommended running C:\Program Files (x86)\ZebraNetworkSystems\NeoRouter\Driver\tapinstall independently. I did that and the network adapter appeared when running ipconfig - this is again working. Hopefully, if anyone has this issue, they will come across this note to aid them. Cheers.
