Re: BT HomeHub Networking Woes

["u7412ay" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have recently started to have the same problem although in my case
my work DNS is in the list so it tries to connect to my machine names with
the work domain appended. I thought it was something they had done at work.
This is a Home Hub V1.  Has been happening for a couple of days. Will try a
wired connection tonight. To get round it I added a local hosts file on my
laptop for my home machine IP addresses which I specified as fixed through
the hub.

For those that are saying replace it never had a problem with it, including
Sonos support and by signing up to FON through the hub I am entitled to use
BT Openzone & FON hotspots free of charge up to my monthly allowance
which has been useful a number of times.

Cheers
Allan
