The Eclipse DNS server is most likely configured to not work for non Eclipse customers, and when it realises you've not got an Exlipse-assigned IP address, I'd guess it ignores you from then on.
At a guess, I'd say that the applications that are working are relying on using the IP address instead of domain names, so they won't need to perform any DNS queries and can connect fine. You'd probably find you could browse the internet fine, if you knew the IP addresses of all the sites you want to visit instead of using the human-friendly domain names  |
I cannot say anything other than thank you! You have the sharpest of eyes and have saved my poor hair from being ripped out..
I am honestly incredibly grateful for this, I can't thank you enough. All appears to be fine now, let's just hope it doesn't reset if the modem or router is turned off :P
Again, thank you!!
