hopefully d-link will tell me why i can't see wan on my d-link dgl4300 to change the dns on the latest firmware as well.

Re: Server not found...

bleh i would love to use opendns,if my router supported wan,but really it seems a simple repair worked for me so far,but if the problem comes again i must be prepared to use opendns on router or not.

Re: Server not found...

I've been having probs like this for weeks now.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/19...et-access.html

It seems to come and go but is pretty bad at the moment. It certainly seems to be worse with subdomains other than www. Ebay is virtually unusable today. It certainly seems to help if I use the Renfrew proxy.

Re: Server not found...

open DNS is the way forward. VM's DNS servers are very tempramental so just use open DNS its much more reliable.

Re: Server not found...

But,but,but hasn't the world of www always been like this?It never lasts and eventually things are restored.

I've always shrugged my shoulders and left and tried again later..eventually it all works it fine...

Re: Server not found...

hmm.. I'm wondering, that flaw thats been found as regards the way web addresses are handled and the subsequent patch that was released to fix it.... I'm wondering if thats got anything to do with it all as most of us, regardless, havent had problems like this until VERY recently.

Either the patching hasn't been done and a half-hearted attempt has failed or the patch needs a patch??

Just a guess, don't shoot me down in flames
(and nobody seems to have mentioned it yet either...!)
