Hi all - we noticed this morning that the iPad was redirecting to ad sites no matter what site you visited.
After much messing around with the iPad and testing with other devices, I discovered that the DNS settings in my MODEM had changed...and I did not change them.
The DNS is normally set to "Use Auto Discovered DNS Server Only" which defaults to Sky, but when I checked, it was set to "Use User Discovered DNS Server Only" with the following IP:
188.166.150.116
So anyhow, I changed it back, and it defaulted to the Sky DNS address. All was ok and resolved for about 10 mins and then it changed back (!).
I have now disconnected & reconnected the modem to get a new IP, removed all inbound access rules and changed the admin password. All has been OK for the last 10 mins since i've done this.
I'm wondering if this was a problem with the Auto Discover feature or a security breach. I've never had something like this happen before...if the problem re-occurs, what options do I have, flash the modem and start from scratch??
