Telkom D-Link DNS issue

[zacdesai]

Dunno if anyone noticed. Telkom apparently shipped their Dlink modems with static dns servers configured on them, which sort of broke down as those servers were down since yesterday.

Not very clever of them, but easy enough to sort out, just login to router, and set dns to auto - under advanced settings.

I had a few buddies call me asking for help. Was simple enough to sort out. Login to the router and tell it to pull DNS server addresses from the ISP (WAN port).

i also have a dlink 2750 routers and got the same problem, change to auto - i still cannot tracert telkom.co.za

i have emailed telkom

my anti-virus wont update and i vnc wont work because port forwarding on 5800 and 5900 doesnt work either

urg major problem on telkoms side
