    Update turned on IPv6? Broke DNS?


    I came to my PC this morning and I couldn't connect to anything on the internet. After some checking, I discovered I could ping IP addresses, but DNS wasn't resolving. Checking my settings, I saw that IPv6 was turned on - I am not positive, but I THINK I had disabled that a long time ago. I turned off IPv6, flushed DNS, and refreshed my IP, and now things are working. Just wondering if this is something that MS changed with this update, and do I need to be worried that I turned off IPv6?

    DNS problems with router

    A couple suggestions I have for you:

    Update the firmware on the router. Maybe it's getting into a badstate, and a firmware update might fix it. Or if you're comfortable with it, install a custom firmware like dd-wrt. Just make sure its supported on your router first.

    Change your DNS to: 8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.1. Might help.

    If none of these work, maybe statically set your DNS on your PS3/PC to the IPs you listed, taking the router out of the lookup procedure.

    Last option, is look for a new router.
