Doesn't work if you have Apple's cruddy Time Capsule

[TenHanger]

Not that ANYTHING works when you own a Time Capsule, but on the
software it doesn't have DNS settings, but only addresses labelled...

IP Address
Subnet Mask
&
Router Address

I tried chaning one, two, and all 3 of these in every possible
combination, and nothing worked. Any attempt to screw with these
numbers simply resulted in my internet connection being shut off.



so please advise how I can get Google DNS service to work if you have
a piece of crud router called Time Capsule (sim. dual band version, 1
TB, Windows Vista, Time Warner cable modem).

thanks.

There should be 2 dns fields to fill in under the internet options.
I've changed dns servers on 3 different time capsules without any
issue so they're definitely there somewhere.

It works fine in a Time Capsule, as does any DNS alternative.

What doesn't work for us is streaming. With Google DNS enabled, I
cannot launch QuickTime Broadcaster. It hangs on launch on all our
Macs.

But when moving back to our ISP's DNS (we have Cox) or OpenDNS, it's
fine.

I'd like to check with Google as to why, but their alleged support
number is an automated system, and the documentation does not, so far,
mention streaming.

Anyone else?

Peace,
Gene

Could you provide more feedback such as a tcpdump as you try to connect to quicktime screening so we can see if Google Public DNS is the problem?

Thanks!

Gene, the specific command to run is:

sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -s 0 -i en0 -w /tmp/tcpdump.out 'port 53'

(In that command, "en0" means you're using a wired Ethernet
connection. If you're using a wireless connection, run that same
command, but use "en1" instead of "en0".)

Start this in a Terminal window, then try to do streaming. If the
streaming fails, go back to the Terminal window, hit ctrl-C to
interrupt tcpdump, and e-mail the file /tmp/tcpdump.out to the list,
or (better) to any member of the Google Public DNS team.

Hope this helps. --PSRC (Google Public DNS software engineer)

This should be working now
