BSNL Broadband DNS entries
Posted on 8th June 2007 by TaggyThe nameservers of BSNL are very poor and sometime fail to resolve google.com and i have been struggling with this for sometime now until i changed to opendns and some more name servers .
The default when you do dhcp entry is
nameserver 192.1681.1
but this one is really bad and you will have to add opendns nameservers to you dns path .Adding them to /etc/resolv.conf doesnt help since once you issue a dhcp then ,it is overwriiten .
The workaround is
bash~/sudo emacs -nw /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
then find the prepend line in the file ( usually in the first 20 lines )
and add the below line
prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220,61.1.96.69,61.1.96.71;
then on its the same old
bash~/sudo /et/init.d/networking restart
and check the http://welcome.opendns.com to see if everything is fine :)
