Anyone else having severe DNS problems with BE?
The default DNS servers are rubbish, it's well known.
However changing to opendns has made no difference. I have tried various random DNS servers that I have managed to google but im still suffering from a nasty delay when trying to open web pages, is this even DNS related?
For example, Ebay pages will take 15-30 secs to display/refresh which makes winning auctions extremly difficult.
Same with google, a search will take way to long to display, youtube etc all the same.
C:\Windows\system32>ping www.ebay.co.uk
Pinging hp-intl-uk.ebay.com [66.135.217.241] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 66.135.217.241:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
Don't know if the above means anything, I could be pinging wrong
The broswer will say waiting for ebay/google/youtube etc etc etc in the corner, gone are the days of instant page loads.
Anyone on BE with no problems care to share there DNS servers please and I shall give them a try.
