heyo heyo.
hope someoen can shed some light on the problem i’ve been having.
i am connected to a wireless router in my house using a line, not wireless, and the internet seems super choppy.
choppy as in i can connect w/ kazaa, and it will work all day fine, and msn all day fine, but if i go to view webpages it throws up 404s. but kazaa still works, and msn still works.
so i go into network shit and repair it, restart the browser and boom it works again.
so i figure there is something weird with how my comptuer is resolving domain names because it seems that if it already knows the IP, its all good.
is there any way i can specify how my dns stuff works /??
Does it actually say “404” ? If so, then there isn’t anything wrong on your end. Just the page you’re requesting doesn’t exist.
If by “404” you mean not working, then try using an IP number to see if it works. For example, try 38.113.228.130/ and see if that works. If it does, then your DNS isn’t resolving properly.
If you’re on Citytel, you should be using
204.244.99.66
204.244.98.46
204.145.111.62
I usually put them in reverse order (ie: have 204.145.111.62 as the first one). Dunno why, but it seems to be faster.
Does your router setup have a place to put DNS numbers?
When your internet connection is working, try “start/run/cmd” and type “ipconfig /all” and see if it’s getting an IP properly, etc.
geez, i remember having to enter that as a chillun way back in the dialup days. i popped the primary and secondary dns #'s into the appropriate box and it works, thanks a lot.
i figured it would be something simple, kind of retarded now that im only living here another 4 days…
Just a sidenote to this if you have a wrt54g or some varient I would highly recommend the dd-wrt firmware. My router was flaky and then i put that firmware on and its much more stable. Also I can now ssh into my router do samba mounts setup a “captive portal” etc. Cool stuff
