well melvittf , i think to configure a different DNS server i have to get into the LAN properties , and put the DNS1 and DNS2 addresses of another ISP [ like btopen , freeserve ]. right ? . Now the question is can a customer use the NTL line to query a 3rd party DNS server ? . Will a freeserve DNS server do the job of resolving a web URL into an IP address for an NTL customer ? . If you open the command window and type nslookup [ after specifying the DNS addresses in lan connection ] , get into the nslookup shell and type : server [freeserve address] you can get the response from the server or the request will simply get timed_out. Now i want to know as whether a customer will get a reply from that freeserve DNS or will the DNS request will simply get TIMED_OUT ? .
cheers,
