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 "www.traceroute.org" 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.
