I have a static ip set up, something like this.
I'm not sure if I have the "Use The Following DNS Server Addresses" or the one above "Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically" selected

**punisher** · 05-04-11, 20:27

hmm could be the dns, is there anyway for you to test by chosing Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically? you might have to Obtain IP Address Automatically too in order for the DNS option to be highlighted

ok try by using the open DNS settings see if that rectifies your problem. make a note of the settings you currently have incase you want to go back but try these ones.
(208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)

You havent got any manually assigned dns address in your network adapter have ya?

Yes I have I just looked in Network Connections.
And I have a Local Area Connection and a 1394 Net Adapter...Both showing connected.

What is the 1394 Net Adapter.

Go into the local area one and copy down the settings you have in there and then set them to automatic ones for ip an dns and give that a try. Not sure what 1394 is though never used it lol

Pheonix.
I did what you said and changed the DNS settings.....Guess what, it worked...Strange.
Will this affect DynDNS ?

Thanks for all the help guys.
Should I leave the new settings ?
Update....After a while it just defaults back to my original settings....Any ideas.

**punisher** · 06-04-11, 01:02

glad u got it sorted. it wont effect your dyndns as that routes to your IP address and not the DNS address

google public DNS always seem to update fastest for me.
Always use them when I hit an issue like this.

Code:

Pheonix, it just reverts back to the original DNS, and thats when this site stops responding....I have read about ipconfig /flushdns
Would that help me without causing any damage in other departments ?
I also read about contacting my ISP (BT) and asking them for BT Broadband DNS Servers.

Thanks for being so helpful...That goes out to all members.

Thanks Judge for your input.

Sorry Punisher, I just noticed this...

Press Start->Run->cmd
when command prompt opens type
ipconfig /flushdns

I'll give it a go in the morning, as long as It's safe ?

Cheers

yes it's perfectly safe. it just flushes the DNS as the name suggests.

8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are your DNS friends if all else fails...

personally ive never gone wrong with the open dns settings. even when ALL others have failed.

**pooface** · 06-04-11, 07:14

Use the google ones here.... Personally, I configure it on the router. That way, everything uses the google dns servers...

As to the question re 1394... That's your firewire port...
