Can not connect to internal local machines by hostname. I can by ip address
Router and Service: BGW320-500 Fiber 1000
Account Privacy Choices: Personalized Plus = Off
Personalized = Off
DNS Error Assist = Off
Router: Firewall>Security Options: Parental Control Status = Disabled
All other settings are default.
With these settings when I do an nslookup to the hostname I am trying to connect to I get the ip address of 143.244.220.150. This is DigitalOcean ip address. So all my local dns lookups for my local devices are being redirected to an external dns not the router. This happens to all hostnames. I have different computers and devices that do different services for my home use. I run Debian Linux. I have 2 Windows machines on the network (Wife and My work laptops. Everything else are IoT devices or Debian machines. I have about 20 VM Debian machines and these are effected as well. I know I can install libnss-mdns package from the debian repository and I can connect to the devices by honame.local. This will not work for FlatPak apps. At one time all this worked. Debian search sufix is attlocal.net. If you tell me I need to host my own dns or DHCP server I am more than ok with this. My issue is how would I with out loosing my internet speed.
This is a deal breaker. I need to be able to connect to my local machines and virtual machines by hostnames. To be honnest this infuriates me that a local nslookup would be sent to external service. This is a huge privacy issue and poor way of doing things. I consider this a hijack of internal network. When the sales rep approached me I told them what I was doing and how important local internal DNS was to me. I even went on a 30 minute rant about another ISPs horrible router. They promised me this system could handle internal DNS. I have spent hours working on this. I am about to cancel service over this.

How are you specifying the local hostnames in your nslookup command? Can you provide a sceenshot of the results?

If it do hostname.local I get right IP (this is because of installation of libnss-mdns. Witch is a DNS multi broadcaster service of Debian. This will not work for FlatpakApps.)
If I do hostname.attlocal.net I get hostneme.attlocal.net: Name or service not known
If I do hostname I get the following.
Server: 192.168.1.254
Address: 192.168.1.254#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: hostneme
Address: 143.244.220.150
This is for all machines.

What DNS server addresses are in your devices? It sounds like they are getting their DNS server addresses from some device local on your network and not the router. From where are they getting their DHCP information?

192.168.1.254 witch is the router and set by DHCP. I have no machines static. And no reserved DHCP. I also have port forwerding on a couple machine. I can access them remotely but not internally by hostneme

Sounds like DNS Error Assist is not turned off although you indicate it is (others have complained about this in the past).
When did you turn it off? Have you rebooted your local devices since then to force getting new DNS server settings?

I disabled it Tuesday. I rebooted router last night. All devices have been rebooted this morning.

It has actually gotten worse sense I disabled it. All this worked at one time. I have always had problems with new device being added to the network. But always resolved it self. Now none of my device are working.

On the gateway, what are the IP addresses for the DNS servers? I just checked two modems I have access to and the one with DNS Error Assist enabled ends in .9. The one without ends in .1.
