[lindaz]

I use true adsl.

Please teach me how to do DNS setting in my router.

I find the DNS Configuration inside my router setting.

but dont know how to setting.

DNS Configuration

DNS Proxy Selection Auto Discovery + User Configured

User Configuration:

Preferred DNS Server 0.0.0.0

Alternate DNS Server 0.0.0.0

Settings need to be saved to Flash and the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to take effect.

Thanks for that link... I was trying to download a simple 2.5 Mb file and it was taking "hours". I have a slow arse connection anyway with GPRS, but this was rediculous. Tried the info from the above link and download completed in a couple of minutes...WOW!

Does it make any difference if I only configure the "new" dns in Windows alone,

or is it preferrable to do it in the router.

Does it make any difference ?

TOT told to let True Internet ease data jam

The national telecom regulator will order TOT to allow True Internet Gateway to connect via its facilities with foreign networks temporarily, to provide an Internet gateway service to ease the data jam following the damage to the Asian submarine cable by a strong earthquake off of Taiwan.

Suranan Wongvithayakamjorn, secretary-general of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), said TOT should urgently allow True Internet to go ahead and that it can operate the service for three months.

True Internet said it could start providing such a service within 10 days after being granted permission. It is a subsidiary of True Corp.

The company had already won an NTC licence to operate an international Internet gateway but TOT has still refused to grant the company access to its facility on the Thailand-Malaysia border to connect with foreign carriers. Suranan said that in a parallel move the NTC would probe why TOT continues to decline to allow True Internet to link with foreign carriers via its facilities.

TOT and CAT Telecom are the two existing providers of the international Internet gateway for local Internet service providers to exchange data traffic with foreign telecom carriers.

Information and Communications Technology Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom said yesterday that the situation in Thailand is expected to return to normal within two weeks.

CAT president Phisal Jorphokaudom said that six out of nine submarine cable links were damaged by the quake. Among them were the Asia-Pacific cable network linking Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan.

He said the agency had already restored two out of the six damaged networks and is coordinating with international telecom carriers to create back-up links, including via satellite.

Most international Internet data and voice phone calls are exchanged via submarine cables round the globe.

TOT executive vice president Kamthon Waithayakul said the quake had affected only between 10 per cent to 15 per cent of the agency's 007 and 008 international-call services and 30 per cent of its broadband service.

The slight impact is due to the availability of back-up links, but he admitted that the access speed of the broadband Internet has dropped as TOT has to route some data traffic from the damaged main link to the back-up system.

Please check the page http://www.opendns.com/ for more information, I learned that u have to make the changes in your TCP IP settings. The page will also explain for what DNS numbers are needed

i need an english teacher, sorry

around 20 to 30 60 90 60 were great, if somebody know one

[friend2]

Ahh, I found some fine print over there,

Note: you will enjoy the same benefits regardless of where you change your settings.

Meaning either router or Windows.

Good to know.

I could not get OpenDns to work. Set the correct numbers in properties, but tested it with their online test site and got "oops".

good news indeed - service looks back to normal now!

as an aside, it's beyond me what the politics are behind having to giving permission here and there - I'd concur with earlier posts that rerouting traffic should be automatic and not have to wait for human intervention!

Communications link across Asia affected by Tuesday's earthquake off Taiwan's south coast are gradually being restored, but lines in South Korea and Taiwan continue to be patchy.

By late Thursday, most of the regions telephone traffic had been restored and internet access was more consistent than it had been during the previous two days.

However, regional fixed-line and broadband operators said it would be a while yet before lost capacity is recovered fully.

Repairs to the undersea cables ruptured by the magnitude-6.7 tremor are expected to take up to three weeks to complete, a Taiwanese telecoms official said on Thursday.

Operators have been trying to run phone and data traffic through unaffected lines.

A spokesman for StarHub, Singapore's second-largest telecommunications firm, said: "It's getting better because more traffic is being diverted to other cables right now."

Analysts said the disruption highlighted the problem that most of the region's cable networks are running in the same direction, along earthquake-prone geographic lines.

Frank Dzubeck, president of Washington DC-based telecoms consultancy Communications Networks Architects, said: "People will start to say we can't let this happen again.

"You've really got to have multiple paths. You can't lay all the cables in the same place."

I tried getting OpenDNS to work.

I am using TRUE DSL in Bangkok.

I tried two ways, first setting the DNS on my router - but didn't get the expected results on the opendns testpages -, then I tried it in the TCP settings of my Windows XP network connection - same reults as before.

I think TRUE simply doesn't allow for the use of another DNS?

Has anybody else had a problem like this and then gotten it to work?
