Host name unresolved - Cisco Packet Tracer

xxxCEO

Hello,

 

I did a home connection using a wireless router and client.

 

I have a wireless router, 2 desktop computers, a laptop with a wireless interface card, a television, a cable modem and a cable splitter.

I have done all the configurations. I connected the two desktop computers to the router using a copper straight-through cable, 

I connected the router to a cable modem using another copper straight-through cable.

The cable model and the television are separately connected to the coaxial cable splitter using a coaxial cable.

 

I have done the configuration of the desktops and laptop setting the DHCP to automatic configuration.

I have configured the wireless connection of the laptop and the router and they work fine.

 

I can access the default gateway address from the web browser in the desktop option and it leads me to the wireless router settings.

 

My challenge now is that after successfully configuring the laptop to use the wireless connection of the router, whenever I try to access a website, for example: skillsforall.srv or google.com, etc, it comes up with a notification: Host name unresolved.

 

How do I resolve this issue please?

NOTE: I am using Home wireless router in my Packet tracer topology.

Are all your network devices configured with DNS Servers? 8.8.8.8 for example?

Does your Default Gateway have an outbound access to the net? can you perform ping 8.8.8.8 straight from the router and see if you have an exit?

Does the simulated browser even support actual real websites ?

I've only ever seen it used to access simulated webpages from a fictional Webserver in packet tracer.
