| 1363785 | 2013-12-29 00:15:00 | Hi all, thought id try 8.1 on the home pc in sig over the break. Installs very fast I have to say, however an annoying issue is I have to reset winsock in order to get internet connectivity. Local network is fine, but it seems to lose internet after each use of a browser? Anyone had experience of this? |

| 1363789 | 2013-12-29 00:44:00 | By any chance do you have a broadcom Ethernet ? It may be the same problem as described in this article windows-8-1-loses-wired-internet-connection (www.eightforums.com) Try using an older driver, not everything works with 8.1 | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1363791 | 2013-12-29 01:38:00 | Okay, nmercer question about the VDSL has revealed the router has issues with 8.1 new DNS query format, so I have added the a telecom DNS server addy to the NIC config and will see how we go | SolMiester (139) | ||

| 1363793 | 2013-12-31 04:25:00 | Hi Clive, yes, did the trick. Seems the DNS requests of 8.1 confuse the router, adding a manual DNS server address is the bandage! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1363794 | 2013-12-31 06:10:00 | Wonder if Telecom will bother to roll out a firmware update...? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
