PN DNS Servers

mort7890 — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 16:25:00 GMT

Had problems home networking so I ran the network trouble shooter with the following result

"Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding."

This has been ongoing for over a week now so I have now changed to cloudfare DNS with no problems showing.

Has anyone reported plusnet DNS problems please.

Not seen anything myself. Things to consider...

Are you on static or dynamic IP
Are you using the safeguarding service
Are your devices configured to use the local DNS server (in the router) or PN's directly

If (as typical) it is the local router's DNS service, then the issue could be the responsiveness of the router - which router is it? I have seen intermittent issues between the router and the DNS servers - do a nslookup using the router and it times out, change the nslookup server to PN's DNS direct and all is fine.

Hi @Townman

Thanks for the response and in answer to your questions

Static

Have tried 21.159.13.50 as per the router also PN's 212.159.6.9 & 212.159.6.10

Not tried nslookup as I am unsure of which to choose
