BSNL DNS Problems and how to solve it | November 22, 2006

If you are a BSNL dataone user, chances are that you are facing DNS issues for the last few weeks or so. Their DNS servers are just unresponsive. The lookup takes a long duration and many times just time out. The solution? Use third party DNS servers or run your own one like djbdns. The easiest options is to use OpenDNS. Just recongure your network to use the following DNS servers: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Detailed instructions specic to your router are available in the OpenDNS website itself. After I recongured my Linksys router to use the above 2 IP addresses, my DNS problems just vanished! Other freebies that come with OpenDNS are phishing lters and automatic URL correction. Even if your service providers DNS servers are working ne, you can still use OpenDNS just for these two special features. About these ads Posted in Me!

Throughout the awesome scheme of things youll receive a B- for hard work. Where exactly you actually lost everybody ended up being on the facts. As people say, the devil is in the details And that couldnt be more accurate right here. Having said that, allow me reveal to you just what did deliver the results. The text can be rather convincing which is possibly why I am taking an eort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can certainly notice the leaps in logic you come up with, I am not sure of how you appear to unite your points which in turn make the nal result. For now I will yield to your position however hope in the future you actually link the facts much be er.
