Happy New Year to All,
I wasn't quite sure where to post this as it relates to both web technical and gaming.
For some reason unknown to me, whenever I play Burnout Paradise on the PS3, it completely kills my DNS after. I've got no web browsing on the pc at all until I reset the router. A connection test on the PS3 also fails after playing this one game.
Any ideas?!
Neil

Just to add to LukeM's comments...
Are you directly specifying the DNS addresses in your PS3 setup?
Also (but I don't think this is actually related to your problem), to try to get some additional resilience I split my DNS addresses between Freeola's London and Telford ones.
i.e. I set my primary to London and secondary to Telford. Picking one address from the collection below.
London
195.74.113.58
195.74.113.62
Telford
195.74.102.146
195.74.102.147
Not sure if this actually buys me anything but it seems like a good idea!

I have assigned new DNS quads to the router and W7 and I'm still getting the same.
I'm re-downloading the game to see if a reinstall has any effect.
...and you're correct - this is the only game I've noticed that does it.

Very strange if I must say so, I assume that you are playing Burnout online or it is at least obtaining information from the Internet?
To me it seems to be as if something is causing your Router to drop the servers, if you log in to your Router do the servers still appear within the status pages? It may be worth providing the servers to your router, rather than leaving the option 'obtain DNS servers automatically', if you have the choice.
I take it no other online game causes the same problem?

My chat clients all seem to still remain connected and active at that stage.
Its just that no web page loads.
Also, the PS3 connection check reports an error code with 'DNS' quoted.

No problem, but yeah just change your DNS servers to something else if it is that. It could be something else, what in particular indicates that it is a DNS issue?
Can you ping IP addresses still when you cannot view web pages? If you can then yeah it's a DNS issue probably, otherwise it will most likely be something else.

By DNS I meant Freeolas.
Sorry for the confusion.

You say "Your" DNS, are you using your own DNS? Or do you mean the DNS you are using? What are you using? You could always try using a different DNS server.
