Slow internet with bethere

Filed Under broadband | Leave a Comment

I’ve been having problems generally surfinf the web through all web browsers with bethere internet.

This is how you fix it, in case you have the problem as well:

Please reset the DNS servers on the BeBox the following way and this should resolve the issue that you report:

1) go to Start Menu/All Programs/Accessories and open a Command Prompt
2) in Command Prompt type: telnet 192.168.1.254
3) for username use: Administrator and for password use the current password (there is no password by default).
4) after logging in, enter the following command:

dns server route list
dns server route flush
dns server route add dns=87.194.0.51 metric=1 intf=RoutedEthoA
dns server route add dns=87.194.0.52 metric=2 intf=RoutedEthoA
saveall
exit

This is another of Matt’s tips for a better life.

Broadband through your Television aerial?

Filed Under broadband, Random, Google | Leave a Comment

You may or may not have heard that Google and Dell, EarthLink, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, and Philips have formed the “White Spaces Coalition.

What they plan on doing is using the current Analogue TV network for Broadband access, when it all switches over to Digital TV in a few years. This means that whereever you can pick up a tv signal now, in the future, you may be able to access the internet.

More about it on the Google blog here

Hopefully someone will bring this idea over here to the UK
