Re: Netgear DG834G intermittent timeout/connectivi
neilaubin,
Sure. First, check the DNS-settings on the router. Just go to the "Router status" page in the administrative interface (»192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?next_file=start.htm).
Write down the addresses for "Domain Name Server" in the first section.
Use the addresses when configuring TCP/IP for your clients interfaces. I use Mac and it's quite straightforward. I think it's just as simple on Windows. Just choose the network-interface, modify the TCP/IP-settings and enter the DNS-addresses.
You can ealisy check that the DNS-implementation is flaky by using nslookup. Try switching back and forth between the router and the actual DNS. After a couple of simple queries you'll see that the router is somewhat random in it's responses.
I'll check out WillBristows tips as well. I've seen that my ADSL-line drops connection every now and then and never been able to figure out why. This is a separate issue from the DNS-thing though. |
