-The reason for this is entirely because of DNS.

 +As for the IP address range that needs changing, this is in the example <connect:allow> class. There is a sample IP range of 203.0.113.* being allowed. This section should be deleted or at least have the IP range changed to your home LAN's range of addresses. Typical home setups use 192.168.0.* and that is what is shown here.
