Grund Ihr Internetprovider besitzt DNS-Namensauflösungsserver die unter hoher Last z.B. viele DSL-Kunden leiden. Das Problem besteht weiter darin das Ihr DSL-Router dynamisch diese DNS-Server mitgeteilt bekommt und Sie diese nicht manuell ändern können (ander Fabrikate ausgenommen) Lösung: Sie richten auf Ihrem PC unter Netzwerkeinstellugen neue zusätzliche DNS Servereinträge ein und nutzen diese an erster Stelle öffenen Sie die Datei /etc/resolv.conf (für Windows Nutzer siehe Netzwerk) und einfügen nameserver 208.67.222.222 #OPENDNS POWER SERVER nameserver 208.67.220.220 nameserver 192.168.178.1 #Router nun sollten […]
