| 583264 | 2007-08-21 22:34:00 | Telecom did issue a warning late 2005 that they were doing the same with the "old" DNS IPs and setting up new recursive servers list.waikato.ac.nz "We are happy for external people to query those IP's for DNS troubleshooting and similar purposes but they should not be directly configured into machines. Please note these IP's may change from time to time and external access may be limited or withdrawn without prior warning (especially in cases of abuse)." Why worry about setting DNS addresses? Agree. Don't bother setting DNS addresses. It is getting to be a normal procedure for many ISPs to do this so if Obtain DNS Automatically is set it can save a lot of confusion. |

| 583265 | 2007-08-22 12:41:00 | I know, I know, I know... But as said, Ihugs werent the most stable things a while back, and I found that Orcons updated faster. I needed that at the time, hence why the machines were configured like that... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

I needed that at the time, hence why the machines were configured like that... Same story with Xtra's DNS server (& they are still not the most stable things!! & Xtra DNS servers are s l o w to update) Actrix is another that did the same a while ago. :( Why worry about setting DNS addresses? 1. Xtra DNS servers are not all that stable & they are s l o w to update 2. I cannot access the internet if I don’t set DNS servers. |

(well kind of, one could still access the net if they knew the IP's of the sites they are going to) Besides, if you buy a router from the shop (in others words, not pre-configured) it will generally require the input of DNS servers before you can browse the net |

Most routers have this set as defauly anyway. |
