Anyone know how to find alternate DNS servers?
My internet connection is acting funky. A lot of sites just aren't loading in either FF or IE. I think my cable company's DNS is fuxored. Anyone know some DNS servers I can try to see if that's the culprit?

Comcast?
If so this is comon issue and I have been running an alternate ever since the last major issue about a year or two ago almost took out the entire network.
Wish I knew the address with the listing of DNS names though.

I found some public ones and put a list into my network connection but I'm getting the same problem. Pretty much any forum I can think of works fine, and some other random sites work, google works but yahoo doesn't, and for the most part it's pretty hit-or-miss. Gonna try a restart and see if that makes the changes stick...

I put in all of these, except the one in the Netherlands, in order of closest to farthest from me geographically: http://www.speedguide.net/faq_in_q.p...ory=88&qid=128

Now that I think about it, before this problem of totally not being able to get at a large portion of the internet, I had been getting pretty frequent occurances of timeouts where the browser would just give up after a while. I'm thinkin those probably have to deal with Charter's DNS progressively getting crappier, until today causing mad problems. Everything is much speedier now.

then select TCP-IP from the list and click properties
click on the advanced button

hit ok to everything and then try it out.
