[nylug-talk] DNS servers

[Kevin W]

You can always use other DNS servers than RR's.
   
  In fact,
   
  When setting up a wirless router we forget to set the DNS servers and let the ISP set them which can slow down the connection.

A lot of times a slow connection is realy the DNS servers, your are using - are overloaded. Most isp's run a standard BIND server that is very veunerable to floods that can be common with older Linksys routers. 

http://www.DNSServerList.org has daily updated servers that are open to the public.

Try changing your DNS servers on your router to these. 

Also note that if you have a Linksys (Or other router with three DNS slots) populate all three.
