| 1113054 | 2010-06-24 21:25:00 | I changed my DNS servers (in my router) to: 203.97.78.43 203.97.78.44 and I still cannot access www.noaa.gov |

| 1113055 | 2010-06-24 21:28:00 | Interesting - thanks for confirming that. Where did you enter those settings - in your router's config, or in your computer's network settings? I've checked those servers, and they can definitely resolve the records correctly (unlike the .4 and .12 ones you were using previously). |

| 1113056 | 2010-06-24 21:30:00 | In the router,which is a LinkSys BEFSR41 Cable/DSL Router. | TideMan (4279) | ||
| 1113057 | 2010-06-24 21:34:00 | Have you rebooted the router since changing those settings? If not, then please do so. If rebooting the router doesn't sort it, try the following: Start>>Run Type 'cmd' and hit enter Type 'ipconfig /flushdns' and hit enter Restart your browser. If that still didn't fix it, reboot your PC, and let us know how that goes. |

| 1113058 | 2010-06-24 21:35:00 | OK - have just finished talking to the TelstraClear people; they've confirmed that it's a configuration problem on their .4 and .12 servers, and will be fixing it sometime today - the change should be live sometime within the next 24 hours or so. In the meantime, following the steps in my above posts should work around the issue and allow you to access the site. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1113059 | 2010-06-24 21:47:00 | Thank You Erayd It works now!! |

| 1113060 | 2010-06-24 21:47:00 | You're most welcome - glad to hear it's sorted :thumbs:. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1113061 | 2010-06-24 21:55:00 | What is the position with these DNS servers? Should I now stick with the ones you gave me or go back to the others (that I've been using troublefree since Jul-2006)? |

| 1113062 | 2010-06-24 22:12:00 | Stick with the ones I gave you - .4 and .12 are frequently flaky - they work most of the time, but they're not the most reliable. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1113063 | 2010-06-24 22:45:00 | Well, the bloody connection has gone again. Even using the new DNS servers. |
