Use OpenDNS as DNS servers in your network settings.

TOT here in Phuket had reverse probs about the same time, I lost a long posting I was going to make and the net was down most of the day after I tried to send it. but before it went entirely I was still able to get on internationally but not locally.. very strange..

the last time I saw that happen was when the sh*t hit the fan and we had a new military government suddenly installed so I thought it may have happened again but my phone was still working this time so I figured not.

OpenDNS | Providing A Safer And Faster Internet
In technologically backwards areas such as Thailand this is a good, reliable alternative.

^ A good way to spent a couple of hours trying to get basic access to the internet back, anyway...

A couple hours?

you thick or something?

Does this work with Dynamic IP's or has it got to be static?

Absolute doddle. Walkthrough is simple, 3 steps to set up and supports dynamic IPs. I had to d/l a tiny app that monitors and updates the IP to the account. Mac BTW TOT modem not a router.
Out of ammo, green owed to FF.

you setup an account???
I never have, just use the servers

Yeah, it was part of the walkthrough. it does say you dont have to create an account but I was curious.

I did too for my lap top but I'm reluctant for my PC, want to try it out a bit first... but if I can do it no worries..

I had an old setting on this laptop so it wasn't getting the DNS server address automatically. I changed that and was without the internet for an hour or so, but now it's working somehow.

Unfortunately my horrible Zyxel router doesn't have a nice handy guide to set it up on the Open DNS site and I can't find an obvious place under the WAN settings to put the 2 numbers. I'll leave it alone for now.

I did the DNS thing on my Belkin wireless router, very easy and works a treat, now I can hear streaming Radio from home uninterrupted and my e-mail account opens twice as fast as does my newspapers from home.
