TV reports no internet connection (temp) FIX

Post by sectroyer »

edit 26/02: Issue solved on Samsung side, not needed anymore (until it happens again). You can revert DNS to original/automatic.

Here is a temporary fix. Linux users, unpack attached fakedns.zip to any directory and in that directory run this command:

Code: Select all

python fakedns.py -c dns.conf
fakedns.zip
Windows users if you don't have Python installed (which is generally the case :D )
Download and extract DNSchef: https://thesprawl.org/projects/dnschef
Open command line in folder where you extracted it, or create a shortcut with that command:

Code: Select all

dnschef -i 192.168.1.3 --fakeip=46.101.161.175 --fakedomain=www.samsung.com --nameservers=192.168.1.1
Just replace 192.168.1.3 by the IP of computer you're running on and 192.168.1.1 by your usual DNS IP

Then set DNS on TV to point to your computer

Of course, has to permanently run on computer for TV to detect internet connection :)

ps: Don't forget to check regularly if Samsung (hopefully) solved the issue by resetting original DNS on TV, not to endlessly overload SamyGO server, thanks ;)

I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!

Nice thank's a lot but the windows method u used rederects all requests to the ip 149.154.159.134 but we want youtube and any other to pass to the orig one.
So a little correction is to use --fakedomain=www.samsung.com in the command instead of --fakealias=www.samsung.com

Complete command:

Code: Select all

dnschef -i 192.168.1.10 --fakeip=149.154.159.134 --fakedomain=www.samsung.com --nameservers=192.168.1.2
Thank's again anyways ;)

what is the min python version which is required for script? With v 2.5.2 i get errors.

Code: Select all

fakedns.py:226: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
  File "fakedns.py", line 226
    with open(file,'r') as rulefile:
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
edit. nevermind, it it`s 2.6 as mentioned..
edit2. maybe possible to get code without to upgrade to python 2.6?
edit3. To get script working on debian leny, i had to add

Code: Select all

from __future__ import with_statement
at the top of file, download argparse-1.2.1.tar.gz and extract argparse.py from this archive and place it next to the fakedns.py...

Added fakeip to my dnsmasq running on my fritzbox, also running fine. What is the server configuration, or will you leave this on that ip?
Other question, shouldn't it be possible to put the redirect in tv's hosts file automatically on boot?

TV retrieve only that file to check internet connection:

Code: Select all

http://www.samsung.com/global/products/tv/infolink/us.xml
What's strange is that it's up from the beginning. You can retrieve file and put it on any server (even locally), just keep path, fake www.samsung.com to any server, done :)

Code: Select all
