ESP8266 Community Forum

Hey all I tried out the example file called **WebUpdater**.ino

When starting the sketch i get this:

>Booting Sketch...

>HTTPUpdateServer ready! Open http://esp8266-webupdate.local/update in your browser

So i open Chrome and type in http://esp8266-webupdate.local/update and a DNS redirect to a Spectrum web site comes up instead of whats on the ESP. The URL that it goes to is:

http://www.dnsrsearch.com/index.php?ori ... ate&r=&bc=

BUT when I go ahead and put the ESP's IP in there like this:

http://192.168.0.24/update

The page comes up just fine thats on the ESP.

I installed the **BonjourPSSetup** so what else could be causing this not to work?

Looks like the DNS configured in your PC is redirecting ".local" queries to a advertising domain; nothing wrong with the ESP here.

happen to know how to check that and correct it?

Ok, let's go step by step: what DNS is your computer configured to use? In a Windows computer, you can see that in the properties for the network interface.
