It seems my ISPs' nameserver(s) were down yesterday until after 3PM so I could only access the sites for which I knew the IP address. Needless to say, I didn't know too many so my surffing was very limited yesterday.
Any suggestions for public nameservers to use in such a situation? Would it be too difficult for an inexperienced Linux user to set up a local nameserver or caching-only nameserver for just my computer(s)? And if so, would that be any help if the situation happened again. I guess you really do get what you pay for and at $6 a month, Access4less is pretty inexpensive. I was happy when they also provided a news server because I didn't expect much. Now That has been down for about a week and I have been using a free newserver - freenews.netfront.net - which is fine as long as I don't want to post to a newsgroup. So now I want to ask if anyone has knowledge of a public or free news service that allows posting also? Granted, I don't post very often but I would like to be able to do so when I want to. BTW, Google truley is your friend. I have a short list of some nameservers (mostly in Europe) and I got the news server mentioned above from searches on Google. I haven't tried the nameservers yet and it's too bad I had to wait until my ISP was back in operation to search for them. Someday I will be able to afford a REAL ISP again.
