Here's the M$ link for changing DNS settings: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305553&sd=tech
Your ISP probably automatically sends the DNS server settings to your modem which in turn then gives them to your computer. Therefore by following the instructions listed in the M$ link above, you can set your own DNS entries. I do this periodically when my ISP has 'issues' to determine if it is DNS problems on their end. ONLY Temporarily try this one: 194.168.4.100 (found it using google) You can also find out what DNS you are currently using by opening a command window (cmd.exe in win2k & xp, command in win9x) and typing ipconfig /all (win2k & xp) or winipcfg (win9x). See if that helps. - Todd -----Original Message----- From: rudy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 9:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] certain sites slow? > Try using a different DNS server in your network settings. if i knew how to do that, i would the only options i see are "Local Area Connection" and "Make New Connection" my ISP is my cable company and the internet comes in on a LAN Modem i'm not sure connecting to them through a different connection is going to solve my problem are there dip switches on the modem that i have to change or something? if i call their help line, will they change their DNS servers just for me? rudy ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings or add a password: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: unknown lmsubst tag argument: '' To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
