Hi

I've just updated my 2820Vn to FW 3.3.7.2_2471201 and all seems well, but I have noticed an odd bug; I can set it okay, but once set, I just can't clear it:

Prior to setting it:

> srv dhcp primWINS ?
%% srv dhcp primWINS <WINS IP address>
%% srv dhcp primWINS clear
% Now:

Setting it:

> srv dhcp primWINS 192.168.yy.zz

Testing it:

> srv dhcp primWINS ?
%% srv dhcp primWINS <WINS IP address>
%% srv dhcp primWINS clear
% Now: 192.168.yy.zz

Using an XP SP3 PC, ipconfig /all now shows the primary WINS server as 192.168.xx.yy, so all looks well.

Clearing it and testing it:

> srv dhcp primWINS clear
> srv dhcp primWINS ?
%% srv dhcp primWINS <WINS IP address>
%% srv dhcp primWINS clear
% Now:

But after IP release/renew on the XP box (or after rebooting the XP box) ipconfig /all still shows the primary WINS server entry.

To sort it, I had to reset the Draytek to factory default and then re-apply a previously saved configuration file.

Was this created in a different firmware version from the 3.3.7.2 ? I would only ever load configs created in the same version of firmware, as the fields don't always exactly line up correctly otherwise, and can give unpredictable strange results.

Best regards, Neal
