DNS Servers.

slipd · 10 Jul 2011 at 15:19

Hi guys,

Is it possible that my isp's default dns servers could give different results on different kit? I used to use a dg834g and everything was fine but I'm temporarily using a 2700hgv and I'm constantly (well, near constantly) getting 'page cannot be found...' messages in all browsers

If it is the case, can someone recommend me some free servers that I could use?

Cheers!

OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

Google - 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, unlike openDNS they aren't messing about with the RFCs by doing NX domain hijacking for commercial benefit...

I use isp dns as primary and google as secondary with a static ip address...never fails!

I use the google ones

The way I see it, if google are down, the internet is broken

+1 for Googles 8.8.8.8/4.4.4.4 Addresses.
