Hi Bojan,

After reading this post, Phil's response is the best so far.

I'd like to add that Phil is talking about IP conflicts, NOT DNS issues.

On iiNet's website the information states that the DNS you should be using is 203.0.178.191 with an alternate of 203.215.29.191. This entry should be in the router for a start. If you have configured your PC AND all other devices to get their IP address via DHCP then that is all you should need to do as they will automatically get an IP address and the correct DNS address.

If any of your devices have been configured with a static IP address then this would have had to be entered in manually and also a DNS address will have been manually entered in those devices so it's worth checking. If that is the case, then you need to check all of your devices that use the router, wired or wireless, and see how they are configured. If you find that more than one of the devices have the same IP address, (you need to check the devices themselves), then there will be an IP conflict. If you have a mixture of DHCP and static IP addresses, then there is bound to be an issue.

The DNS entry stated above should be the same in the router as all of your devices.

So as mentioned by another in this thread, the best way to ensure that you do not have an IP conflict is to set all of your devices to get their IP address via DHCP. Also ensure that the router is setup correctly to dish out those IP addresses correctly.

An IP address conflict will only affect the devices with the same IP address, not any other device that is unique, that may explain why your laptop works all the time.

All the best,
Damien.
