MALAYSIA DNS SERVER LIST

Okay, today I found some interesting numbers. They are Malaysian DNS servers numbers. Guess what? I never know the first three numbers. Ha ha! I tried it and I think there are not much different (from speed browsing perspective) from 202.188.0.133 I've been using before.

So, what is DNS you may ask? 

I'm not going to simplify things for you because it is already simplified. Read on, this might give you a headache if you are not a 'techie' person but believe me, this info is priceless.

So, here goes. I'll start with the answer to the question above.
Domain Name System (DNS) is a database system that translates a computer's fully qualified domain name into an IP address.
IP addresses is used by computers to connect to each other but it can be difficult for people to remember. For example, we can easily rememberwww.amazon.com than its IP number : (207.171.166.48).

A computer network like Streamyx will have at least one server handling DNS queries. That server, called a name server, will hold a list of all the IP addresses of computers on the internet. If the name server do not have the IP address of the corresponding computer, you will get an error message.

Within most Internet applications, you will not see and will not have to remember the IP address of the computer to which you're connecting. Thanks to the name server a.k.a DNS server.

Hmm, still reading? Now I'll reward you with the Malaysia DNS server list. Well what about other countries? May be next time. (if there are any request to post it here).

But wait, how to add these to ubuntu? Fortunately, yo can check here. It is on my other post.

Tips :

If you are having sites blocked by our DNS servers, you can bypass the blocking just by change your default DNS to Free Public DNS Server such as OPENDNS  or GOOGLE DNS.

Free Fast Public DNS Servers List

The most basic task of DNS is to translate hostnames such as theos.in to IP address such as 74.86.49.131. In very simple terms, it can be compared to a phone book. DNS also has other important use such as email routing.
This is my list of better, fast public dns servers and free dns server (as compare to your ISP / DSL / ADSL / cable DNS service providers dns servers). These dns servers are free to all. I was able to improve my browsing speed with following DNS servers. Use any one of the following provider.

Changing DNS Settings in Windows Vista

Here we'll show you how to manually assign DNS (Domain Name Service) servers for your Internet connection using Windows Vista.
  1. Go to the Start Menu and click Control Panel
    Windows Vista - Control Panel
  2. In the Control Panel, under Network and Internet, click View network status and tasks.
    Windows Vista - Network and Internet
  3. Click the link next to Connections on the right. In this screenshot we're using a wired connection so the link is called Local Area Connection. If you're using Wireless the link will be named differently.
    Windows Vista - Manage Network Connection
  4. You'll see a connection status window, click Properties.
    Windows Vista - Network Properties
  5. Select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) item, and click the Properties button.

The DNS client in Windows Vista

On a Windows Vista-based computer, the DNS client incorrectly creates a negative DNS cache entry for the NetBIOS name of a remote host. This problem occurs when the client computer is configured to use multiple DNS suffixes. When this problem occurs, you may experience the following symptoms:
  • The Windows Vista-based computer cannot access the remote host by using the NetBIOS name.
  • The NetBIOS name of the remote host cannot be resolved as expected. However, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the remote host can be resolved correctly.
  • If you run the ipconfig /displaydns command to display the content of the DNS resolver cache, the command output indicates that a negative DNS cache entry was created for the NetBIOS name of the remote host.
  • This problem disappears after you run the ipconfig /flushdns command on the computer. However, the next time that the remote host name is resolved, the incorrect negative DNS cache entry appears again.
A typical scenario of this problem occurs when you enable automatic enrollment for certificates in an Active Directory domain environment. This problem causes automatic enrollment to occasionally fail on the Windows Vista-based client computer. Additionally, the following event is logged in the Application log on the client computer:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: AutoEnrollment
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13
Date: Date
Time: Time
User: N/A
Computer: Computer
Description:
Automatic certificate enrollment for Local system failed to enroll the CertType certificate from CA-name (The RPC server is unavailable. 0x800706ba (WIN32: 1722)).
