Re: Problems accessing some sites

you won't do because either way you are still using VM's servers. Google's dns servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

The reason why I asked you if you had changed the settings in windows or on your router is because it is your router that obtains your/its ip address and all the other associated info and I am not sure if it overides the dns servers which you have specified in windows as it heads off to the internet. I have left windows to obtain everything automatically from my router and on my router I have inputted the google dns servers as the primary and secondary addresses and then it gets VM's as a tertiary address if all else fails.

It is defo worth thinking about because when other peeps have been flapping that they can't get to various websites it has always been a dns issue and people who use non-isp dns servers like myself can get to them no probs
