According to twitter their DNS is down.

Ok folks, if you're having difficulties getting online because #charter outage, change your DNS settings to google public DNS: 8 8 8 8
I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
8.8.8.8 Google's primary DNS
8.8.4.4 Secondary Google DNS
QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?
And after you do that, use 'namebench' to discover your fastest and closest DNS. :)

It's fun for both girls and boys!
And how the fsck does a nationwide ISP's resolver DNS fail? *mind boggle* It's not like a hefty complicated service.
I dunno, but when Comcast fails, it's DNS more often than not. Couldn't they about run that on a Raspberry Pi?Originally Posted by W4GPL
I love you guys but I could use a translation.
Oh. DNS (Domain Name Service) is what connects the domain name (like hamisland.net or cnn.com) to it's IP address. The Intertubes run on IP addresses, not names, -- DNS is the "phone book" and if you lose your connection to that, you're pretty well hosed.
This is usually auto-configured and points to your ISP's DNS server. You can adjust it manually and point it to google if you want. In Win 7, go to:
Control Panel
Network and Sharing Center
Change adapter settings
(Double-click on the card that connects to the 'net)
Click on properties
Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP /IPv4)
Click on Properties.
On the next screen, you can switch to 'manual' and use whatever DNS server you want.
Fuck, they buried that deep....
it could if you were handling a relatively small (compared to an ISP) number of users. comcast has regional DNS servers (presumably to reduce latency to customers), and these are grown-up computers.
yes, they're probably the smallest sized thing an ISP does ...

The secondary DNS is a power bottom.
