Hi folks.
If anyone is having problems with PlusNets DNS today you could use Googles DNS servers to get back online
Simpley open your Network connection and select properties
Then select TCPIP V4 and then change DNS servers to Googles ip address: 8.8.8.8 then apply then ok ect..
You should now be able to use your internet browser to get back online while there fixing there problems
Here is the link for more help and info
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html
Hope this helps someone, I have had to do this today, Since 12.00pm there DNS servers are down but Skype and other services that dont use DNS are still working
This will work for any ISP and can be used all the time if needed

Open DNS is my recommendation, particularly if you have children and want to put limitations on what they (and you !) can do. https://www.opndns.com, follow the instructions and create an account.0
