Re: Fixing Windows "connection unsuccessful"

Well so far i edited /etc/hosts and added

127.0.0.1 msftncsi.com localhost .
192.168.1.1 msftncsi.com

It seems to be working somewhat, I have varying results with it, Sometimes i connect and it doesn't give the error message and sometimes it does, I think this is because windows does 2 verification methods to detect the WAN IP, The first is look for the ncsi.txt file and the other is a dns lookup of dns.msftncsi.com which must resolve to the correct IP it has on file or it throws an error.

It seems to alternate between the 2 methods sort of randomly.

This is of course explained in the link i posted.
