I've now looked this modem up and a sudden wave of ancient history hit me. This is the unit that 1) overheated and had to be replaced and 2) got finaly relegated when I got a good modem/router!

It is a minimal spec limited software unit, and BT crippled it.

Replace it!

errr - its still slow... when i reset the bugger, my speed increased on my pc, but now im on my laptop, its still slow...

would this be because it looks for the first primary dns server, then alternative server and finally mine? (if this is the case, i would of thought that this process would be extremley quick)

any ideas?

 

I would say you are correct. Your primary DNS server will be queried first, hence it should be contactable or it will slow the name resolution process down.

 

if thats the case, it looks like i might aswell leave it like this, cuz i dont want to be changing settings each time i go and leave work... unless of course anyone knows of a third party util?

 

You could write a couple of batch files that change the configuration of your LAN connection using the netsh commands.

Cheers, will into that soon... Cheers.

TCM here is a link which explains what to do..

You need to copy and paste the script into notepad and save the files as a batch files eg 'workip.bat' and homeip.bat

 

i sorted it, did not create a batch file in the end...

i simply the changed the settingd to obtain a DNS automatically, worked ok at home and luckily worked ok here at work...

I noted the original DNS settings in a .txt file on my desktop...

i think i've lost my memory pen!

Does anyone know where i can find it?
