Does anyone know the IP addresses of Etisalats DNS machines.
I don't get any provided by DHCP - so i end up with 'domain.invalid'.
It seems this is really slowing up my look ups.

are you behind a firewall dude

Just tried without the firewall - but no difference.
The dnsstuff will be help me get an IP of a dns entry, but i can't do manual look ups each time i want to access a site i have never been to before.
The Big E should have there own DNS servers which then in turn hook up all the way up to the root dns machines.
Thanks for your help by the way :)

ok try this
1- disable the firewall on your computer
2- go to this site "" and choose a location like the US
3- Put the ip of your gateway (remember to put your public IP address like 217.x.x.x)
4- Then you can see if the ping can reach your ip address
call etisalat and send them the trace and at the same time check with them.
