Hi everyone and thanks for reading this. I have an annoying intermittent broadband problem!
Every couple of days or so I find I cannot connect to the Internet. I get a "DNS res" error page come up on my browser. This happens for anything up to 2 hours during which time I have to reboot until I can eventually connect. My 360 can't connect either and it also reports a DNS problem when it goes into it's diagnostic mode that it does when it can't connect. Once I am logged in successfully my connection is always 100% bulletproof.
I have reported this to my ISP (BT) and they are totally useless. I have been trawling the forums looking for help and found something about changing your DNS settings to Dynamic. I guess this would help by routing me via another DNserver? If I log into my router (Netgear DG834GT) through a browser there is an option for me to do this but I need add a hostname, username and password.
Does anyone know if this might fix the problem I am having and what details I need to enter?
