Re: DNS Outage again

Better browsing, but still a little slower than I have come to expect from my 600kbit service. Better than nothing though.

I have read elsewhere on this forum that the dns servers can be set in your hardware router. Does this apply to all hardware routers ? I have a NetGear, which I use to split my broadband around the house. Is there any advantage to setting the dns servers here rather than in my network properties on my pc's ?

Keep up the good work, great website

If you changed dns and your proxy then how do you know it was dns ? - it is just as likely to have been the proxy that was at fault.
