Pages can't be displayed

Hi folks

I'm in Uni halls at the moment. And the connection is fine, however every time I visit a new web page, it initially says the page cannot be found. Much like if you try to browse when disconnected.

If I refresh the page, it loads fine on second attempt.

Happens in Opera, IE7, and Firefox. It doesn't happen to my flatmates, so I guess theres something wrong my end?

They're using IPv6 locally, which means that primary DNS server is a local one. DNS relaying could be slow, try changing the order of the DNS servers to put one of the public IPv4 IPs first and see what happens.

Infact when you actually read the hex-mess your primary DNS is your default gateway which seems wrong to me. Deffo manually point it at the IPv4 addresses as they're proepr public IPs and should be dedicated DNS servers.

Thanks Skidilliplop.

Do you reckon you could explain how I change the settings?

benjo · 24 Nov 2008 at 20:27

Ok, I think it's getting worse. Nothing but OcUK forums will load now.

I guess i setup my DNS settings by right clicking the network adaptor>properties>TCP/IPv4 and changing it in there?

Does anyone know how I should set it up?

Yes

Yep in the TCP/IP settings you should be able to re-order the DNS servers.
You'll probably need to write the addresses down and then change it to manual DNS config if it's on auto. Else you can just change the preffered order.
