connectivity problems

[Marcvs]

im havign some horrible connectivity problems

im with BE

I have had them for well over a year and never had a problem but i cant go to 3/4 of websites (luckily hexus is still accessible, cant login to steam etc?

Anyone else have any ideas or having the same problem at the moment.

My ping is also massively higher (34ms as opposed to 9ms)

I guess you're using the horrible Be DNS servers - try switching to OpenDNS and see how you fare.

Things have been quite bad the last few months, the BE forums have plenty of it, if its a constant problem, raise a support ticket.

how dya do that with the stock BE box, my good router (netgear) blew up and i havent the time or inclination to change it and find the BE box acp horrible to use.

so any help on that one

http://www.beusergroup.co.uk/technot...ex.php/OpenDNS should help with the DNS (if that's the problem!)

I've lost connectivity with the americas at the moment on the same network (via O2).

edit: And adding openDNS worked great, ta.

[Marcvs]

worked great thanks

I was having the same issue with O2 last night, obviously the same problem. I was getting consistent DNS errors, I just switched them over the openDNS and all worked well again

Does anyone know how to change the DNS settings in the o2 router itself? I can see them, but can't edit them....I'm assuming I need to telnet in?

you should be able to do it using the link I posted a couple of posts back - the hardware is the same as far as I know.

Yes I just did more or less as the link said. Hardware is the same, O2 might have nobbled the Administrator account though, so you might have log in as SuperUser instead (password is something like O2Br04db4nd but I'll check this evening or you can look on the O2 forums).
