Change to the following if having odd connectivity/resolution issues.

87.194.0.53
87.194.0.66 or 67

 

My router is set to use OpenDNS.

OpenDNS | Providing A Safer And Faster Internet

 

its doing my head in the current problems there having pings all over the place - there saying things will be normal in another 2 weeks

changed my DNS servers tonight as couldnt access sites like facebook/fleabay etc

bethere is going down hill

 

I Thought it was odd last night.....

could surf ok on the Iphone 3g but when I went wireless using BE nothing?????

Can someone explain the pros and cons if any of doing the open dns above?

cheers

Andy

 

the above dns tend to be quicker and will allow you to access the web whereas the be problem is affecting various websites coming up with page cannot be displayed etc etc.

I changed my dns last night and it is now running sweet again and a heck of a lot quicker

 

I added in the 53 address last night too. Getting a bit fed up with these DNS issues now, seems to be getting more frequent.

 

moved over to OpenDNS when the last lot of DNS problems happened.

Never moved back and never experianced the same issues

Its free and reliable and configurable ... so all pros and no cons really for me.

 

Ah thats what is was

whats bloody annoying, i couldnt get to SN or BE to find out what was going on...

That's why I moved, my ISP seemed to be having issues, which they denied of course. I remembered reading something somewhere about OpenDNS so I gave it a try, and as DemonDave said, I've not gone back. A good Googleing didn't seem to find any major adverse comments.

 

Gone down again on the phone for an hour to them FFS

found these threads with a workround

back surfing
