Since August I’ve been seeing some pretty spotty and in-consistent DNS service at my house. I run Comcast cable internet, and finally got sick of slow DNS response times, timeouts, and failures.
I learned that Comcast has decide to centrailze and essentially “customize” our DNS service so when something is not found we are re-directed to their own search page.
Here is some more information:
Comcast Re-direction goes nationwide
Your Rights with comcast DNS Re-direction
DON’T PUT UP WITH THIS!
Re-direct your DNS to an outside service like Open DNS. I did this and my problems are SOLVED!
Here are the instructions for you newbies:
For advanced users, just use these servers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Fast DNS lookups are here again!
