You don't know the importance of DNS service then, we all ( top down ) rely on DNS.

Maybe u dont understand DNS , because its only ppl that run dns servers that need to worry about this issue.

Your ISP's name server, 196XXXXX, has other protections above and beyond port randomization against the recently discovered DNS flaws. There is no reason to be concerned about the results seen below.

Actually - ubercal - you are so wrong. If your service provider has not done something - a bad hacker can trivially redirect you from any site you're going to, to their own server .....

So, If you don't do something important (like access you myadsl account, internet banking, access you private dating site) on the Internet, then you don't have to worry.

But if you do anything that you value checkout http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?p=1963907 to test your ISP, and if they're vulnerable get on the phone to them and hound them till it shows their DNS as being clear!
