I just sped up my internet connection!, By finding the right Root DNS Server

[Lumberg]

Hey guys my DNS server went down so I did a little research and this is what I did:

I ran a tracert on every IP from 4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.9 (7,8,9 were unreachable) and picked the one with the least # of hops and made that my primary DNS server. Then the second least # of hops became my secondary. Now pages load faster than ever!

for the record the least # for me was .1 with 8 hops.

Holy shit i have no idea what you're talking about.

The DNS lookup is not the bottleneck for my net connection.

 

[Apöllo]

I know where to put those numbers, but what is this "tracert"?

 

[Lumberg]

BBQ--apparently it was for mine

Apollo- it sounds for traceroute. it is a command in Unix and DOS.

C:\>tracert 4.2.2.1

Tracing route to vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net [4.2.2.1]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 10.0.0.1

The problem for me is not the DNS server, but the 56k modem.

Good now just figure out why you've been so slow intellectually and you'll be set for 2004!

I had a kink in my network cable and once I unkinked it, it was like a whole new world. Next I plan to camouflage the network cable so that the packets will now move unseen and thus quicker.

shit i didn't even think about that. i'm going to have the fastest internet connection ever. i don't know why they haven't come out with thicker network cables yet to allow for more packets to go through at one time. it's like, duh.

[obiwan9962]
