Comments on: Everyone Should Use OpenDNS http://www.goingthewongway.com/2007/09/10/everyone-should-use-opendns/ I'm ALWAYS going the Wong way Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:20:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Derek http://www.goingthewongway.com/2007/09/10/everyone-should-use-opendns/#comment-1450 Derek Wed, 12 Sep 2007 06:07:33 +0000 http://www.goingthewongway.com/2007/09/10/everyone-should-use-opendns/#comment-1450 @Ms. Q Oh well I am hosting my own blog on my residential-grade DSL connection. It's obviously not going to be the most reliable server out there. However, this past weekend I was actually in the mountains with no Internet access so it compounded the issue. So of course, that is when the connection decides to drop. Other people know how to renew the IP address so the Internet access can be restored, but they don't know about setting the DNS (a result of not wanting to pay to have my dynamic DNS update automatically). So the DNS entry was pointing to the old address for the entire weekend. Ah of course, please stay Murphy. I'd love the company. :P @Ms. Q

Did the host for your blog go down or your DNS server or what? I couldn't access your blog for I think 2 days!! Welcome back. Or maybe it was me? I have forgotten so much of my networking stuff!
