Still no resolution for DNS problems?

[MaryJane25]

I am still having DNS problems with SL viewer. Fix posted under support doesn't work. Is anybody at SL working on this. It can only be SL viewer as everything else I try to access is fine. Somebody please get their finger out and fix this.

We are all SL residents like you.  Therre are no Lindens here. 

 Your viewer and SL's servers have temporarily lost the ability to talk to each other. Unless there's a problem with the servers (Always check http://status.secondlifegrid.net/ first), it's probably something on your end.  If you are having a DNS problem, it is almost certainly for one of three reasons. .........

(1) Try shutting off your computer, unplugging the router and modem for a couple of minutes, and then plugging them back in and restarting. That simple step may clear up everything

(2) Change your DNS settings from whatever your ISP assigns you as a default. Use Google's free public DNS servers instead. Here's how >>> http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/

(3) If things are STILL messed up, contact your ISP. Maybe they are working on their Internet connections. Mine go down for about 20 minutes once a month or so while they are vacuuming dust out of their servers, or whatever they do.

If you are running a Mac you will need to change your DNS settings. That is a known problem.

There is a section on DNS in: Troubleshoot Your #SL Connection.

Glad to see that it's not just me having this problem. I feel your pain, MJ25.
