Can i browse internet if DNS is not working? - Ab Hanan - 04-08-2014 07:44 PM
I want to browse internet whenever my DNS service is not working.
I have saved some website IP addresses which are my favorite websites.
So i want to know that if my DNS service is not working i can browse websites with their IP addresses or not???
Thanks in advance.

You can use the Google's Public DNS service. I use it instead of my Verizon's DNS.
Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers.

If you think its your DNS just change it. If you don't know how to change it look up a youtube video. ( Its very easy to do )
Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Open DNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

no you cant - like others have said - change it to google's DNS

Yes, you can. DNS just changes the names to IP addresses. So if enter http://192.168.1.1/admin/index.html) and the server isn't setup to redirect you automatically you would have to enter the full URL.
However, it might be easier to just change DNS providers, as others suggest.
