Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing browsing problems tonight with websites coming up address not found?

I knew a DNS problem was around somewhere. My ISP is M-Web and they dynamically assigned me DNS Server

rndf-ip-dns-4.saix.net 196.43.42.190 Johannesburg
rrba-ip-dns-4.saix.net 196.43.38.190 Rosebank <<I think the second one was.

I then manually entered the following 2 DNS Server in place of those in my Router as I am based in Cape Town anyway.

wbs-ip-dns.saix.net 196.43.34.190 Cape Town
wblv-ip-dns-4.saix.net 196.43.46.190 Cape Town

My DNS Problems disappeared and once hitting enter after typing the URL is much faster now.

Just thought I would mention this if anyone else is struggling tonight. I don't know if it is just congestion to that server or that server itself giving problems.
 
Probably a related issue to this?
