they seem to be advocating an open DNS.

I have not done this myself. if you do attempt this i would recomend taking note of anything you change, just in case like.

Reckon we need to have this info pretty much at the start of every page. Invaluable and pretty easy workaround to the problems going on with eircom's DNS servers:
Quote:
Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Sec. DNS: 208.67.220.220
You will have to edit your Netopia Router settings.
http://192.168.1.254/
Go into Expert mode/Configure/Connection:
Primary and Sec DNS settings are there, change to above, and hit Save/Restart button.
The above settings are on the Netopia 2247 wireless router, new GUI.

If you prefer to reset on your PC rather than the router, here are the details from eircom's site slightly altered to use the OpenDNS addresses:
•Right-click on the connection you are using, which will either be a Local Area Connection if you have connected the modem using the yellow Ethernet cable or a Wireless Network Connection if you are connected wirelessly.
•If you see an Enable option, click it.
•Select Properties.
•Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/Ipv4).
•Click Properties
•Select Use the following DNS server addresses.
•The Preferred DNS server is 208.67.222.222 (eircom's is 213.94.190.194)
•The Alternate DNS server is 208.67.220.220 (eircom's is 213.94.190.236)
•Click OK.
