Hey guys,I have noticed that since past 25 days some Microsoft websites like msn.co.in & some Microsoft sub domains so not function. It seems its a DNS problem.Any of you guys faced similar problem? If yes please let me know which city is having problem. I thinks its only with mtnl broadband.Actually my ex-boss in MS has also requested for similar help.Thanks !

are you on mtnl mumbai? which dns r u using? if open dns then try to check with mtnl dns

 

[amish]

why use mtnl dns?but in any case, its not mtnl broadband problem if its just DNS problem. i.e. mtnl has not blocked those sites and they DO work.

Amish , its since last 25 days... if possible can you check with auto discover dns in your router and check with mtnl dns... please

just try this:

go to cmd in windows
run 2 commands as follows

1) nslookup MSN.com

2) nslookup MSN.com 208.67.222.222


first command will use default DNS

2nd command will use OpenDNS

if ur DNS is fine, u shud get answer in both cases.

----------

After googleing, i found this 3 DNS servers of MTNL

203.94.243.70
203.94.227.70
59.185.0.23

1st didnt work for any domain (yahoo,hotmail etc)
2nd and 3rd worked all domains (include msn and hotmail)

may be mtnl have scrapped 1st one or it was never mtnl dns.

The thing does not work with mtnl default dns. it only works with open dns as below:C:\Users\xxx>nslookup MSN.com 208.67.222.222Server: resolver1.opendns.comAddress: 208.67.222.222Non-authoritative answer:Name: MSN.comAddress: 207.68.172.246C:\Users\xxx>nslookup MSN.co.in 208.67.222.222Server: resolver1.opendns.comAddress: 208.67.222.222Non-authoritative answer:Name: MSN.co.inAddress: 207.46.73.81
