Re: Update script (fw_upgrade)

I have been wondering where to change DNS severs in the Shield myself, so tried that.  After doing that, no web site worked on the internet after 5 minutes.  So I rebooted the shield, waited 5 minutes, still no web sites working.  Waited another 10 minutes, no change.  

So.... I removed the DNS settings and then did a save/apply and after 2 minutes, I had web sites again.

Any idea why it didn't work?  I do have a basic firewall between the Shield and Cable modem, double-nat.  I am not sure if that would affect the DNS settings for the Shield.

(per Security Now podcast recommendations, I have Cable Modem -> Basic Firewall.  Then the Basic Firewall has the Shield under it with my PC's on it, and the Basic Firewall has a 2nd Basic firewall under it for my other non-PC devices that need internet access.)
