ns1.jaring.my-----161.142.201.17
ns2.jaring.my-----192.228.188.61
ns3.jaring.my-----161.142.227.17
ns4.jaring.my-----161.142.212.17
ns5.jaring.my-----61.6.38.139
ns6.jaring.my-----192.228.128.16

Those are Jaring's DNS servers, i think jaring block TMNet users, but it takes like 20/30 mins before it kicks you out, just switch the server. Its just a temporary fix if u really cant access thru tm's DNS

OR u can use

ns2.p1.com.my-----122.255.96.133

P1 Wimax DNS(secondary). I'm not providing the main DNS so that we do not overcrowd their service.

edit-deleted quote

hey, if possible...take down the 1st DNS, as it is P1's primary DNS...if we all use the primary DNS, it will be overloaded and end up like streamyx's DNS. just use the 2nd one should be good enough

edit- thanks for taking it down

Weird situation, speed was slow. THEN....

RADIUS server down, DNS unreachable...

But when using other DNS, speed was at maximum...


Any hypothesis on what happened? ...

Mine (hater's view) : Because RADIUS had failed and DNS overload, TM engineers panic and thought that by turning off the throttling will help improve the situation. but it did not. however, we the SMART ones used other DNS and managed to take advantage of their "off-throttling"

OR

(positive view)
They really are finally giving us what we pay for ; )

OMG ... so slow .. wink.gif ... the current slowly is due to DNS problem .. nothing to do with the speed of the internet ..

You want to know why we are getting fast speed

It's because the whole of Malaysia Streamyx users got DNS problem, how many of them will know it's a DNS problem if they do not come here and see our threads? Those people will only know if it get through TM's call center and are informed by TM. Come on, even in the main page of this forum,, it says..."Most users ever online was 4,779 on May 4 2009, 10:46 PM"

Malaysia has how many thousands/million? of streamyx users. We are getting fast speed because we are switching to another DNS. While the rest that dont know its a DNS problem will not be able to connect and use the bandwidth. Thats why, we are actually using the extra bandwidth that is left by those users that cant connect or did not change their DNS

Thanks CK for the opendns config guide.

I am using LinkSys WAG200G router/modem. I followed the guide and key in opendns ip into Static DNS 1 & 2 followed by save.
Switch to the Status tab and do a disconnect and connect. However its still showing the old streamyx DNS server:

Default Gateway:219.93.218.177
DNS1:202.188.0.133
DNS2:202.188.1.5

I tried powering off the router and shut down my PC. Turn router power on again and reboot PC(WinXP).
Still status show the same above.
What did I do wrong with configuration?
Do I need to config DNS on my PC?
Any help esp. from WAG200G user who happen to use OpenDNS server would be much appreciate.
Thanks

you can always set the DNS at your WinXP...it's the same thing with router config.....

infact my router cant config DNS so i have to config it at my comp...

Andrew,
Thanks for your advise. I config it on my computer and it confirmed on opendns site.
What if I use other DNS server like Jaring or P1.
How to check and confirm the key in DNS server are being connected?
In case of opendns, we can use their site to check. For others, how and what software are available to check DNS server being used?
In case of streamyx, 202.188.0.133 is always primary and 202.188.1.5 is secondary.
Can this be change to make 202.188.1.5 primary as this has less packet lost?
Thanks

Just config it on your computer, if you can load pages after that, means the DNS is working.

http://www.infoarch.net/s_broadband.htm ... a page of all DNS to use in this region

HOWEVER, Jaring DNS has blocked non Jaring users, do using Jaring DNS you will not get good conenctivity. P1 DNS also, only their 1st DNS responds to non P1 users now. all other p1 DNS do no respond to outsiders.

QUOTE(tadwinks @ Jul 31 2009, 04:38 PM)
errr....how does packet loss relate to dns performance? dns will still work if there's a filter in place right? ping www.windowsupdate.com gives 100% packet loss but the site still works.  rclxms.gif
*
that is because that website blocks ICMP pings, same goes with www.hotmail.com....

If a website is pingable, but shows some packet loss, then it has problems

If a website is pingable and show 100% PL, but accesible, that means it is blocking pings.

Ig a website is not pingable and canot access..means its DOWN

i don' think this is true 100% of the time. my network admin at the office just showed me that its also possible to limit pings...according to him this is a common security practice. i goggled around and found this

yes but only a very small amount of webpages practice this method.

Andrew,
Thank you for your usefull and detail explaination.
My question on:
In case of streamyx, 202.188.0.133 is always primary and 202.188.1.5 is secondary.
Can this be change to make 202.188.1.5 primary as this has less packet lost?
Any inputs on this?
Thanks again for your help and have a nice day.

Yes, just input 202.188.1.5 into the box @ preferred DNS server when you change your DNS through computer. It will be then used as the primary DNS for your connections.

Then you can also input another non-TM DNS (like OPENDNS) at the alternate DNS server box.

nice DNS there... thanks... using it now...

but it blocks ICMP pings, so we wont be able to tell if it's having problems or not... and also to check the latency... =\
