Half of the web sites aren't working

No, they just routed around the LINX issue.

So why did my router pick up that DNS server when I didn't input it then? Do Billion 7800N's have redundancy IPs built in?

Looks like LINX may have fixed whatever issue was occurring.

No issues routing packets via either the Brocade 195.66.224.xx or Extreme Networks 195.66.226.xx peering LANs from here at least.

It's a system default setting which I think is new with firmware 1.06d firmware,the release note is not available on the UK site but the aussie one is here

I substituted the google ones for IDNet's DNS servers

Having probs now with web sites not connecting. Anyone else?

Steve · Jul 17, 2011, 22:19:10

I've just been through a dozen or so bookmarks and they are all connecting.

Just re-booted and things seem OK at the mo. NB: Not the 1st time over the last week I've had to do a reboot due to web sites not loading.

Not sure what router you are using but had a problem a couple of years back with a Netgear that was blocking random sites.

The ISP I was with at the time did numerous checks including logging in with my ADSL access credentials from a test router/line they had but could not replicate the fault.

In the end I used the factory reset button on the back, it cleared everything, rebooted and I put the ADSL details back in and it fixed it.

Thanks for that. I am using a dg834V4 at the mo. I have a V5 spare but am loath to use it due to the poor chipset. Will try zeroing the router next time I have probs.
Also have a 2700 floating somewhere in the gash pile but seem to recollect that I dropped it some while back and it developed a fault tho. I'm damned if I can remember what the fault was.
Anyway, plenty to play with over the coming days.

Same as me, the router I was using at the time by the way was a DG834N v1.

Might be worth giving the reset a shot though.

Just registered to post something like this and I got beaten to it. I suppose this is karma after I praised IDnet to all my friends for not having a single problem in about 3 years XD.

Think you missed out on a few in that time
