Yay everything's back to normal DNS-wise now! I was getting frustrated with how OpenDNS takes over Firefox's Google keyword search!

Seams to me that xnet.co.nz is still down and that their email servers are down as well. 15+ hours and counting...

I haven't had any problems, only the OpenDNS annoyance.

Same here, also the website seems to work fine.
Can't comment on e-mail as I don't use it.

What DNS Servers are you using because xnet's DNS servers are redirecting to OpenDNS ones.

I'm on Xnet too and haven't touched the DNS settings at all.
It seemed to use the OpenDNS servers for a while yesterday but that seems to have gone back to normal

These are the DNS servers I'm apparantly using:
58.28.4.2
58.28.6.2

Hmm had to flush the dns and release/renew IP addresses.

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

Exact problem has been happening to me for the past 30 mins. Bit of an inconvinicence but still satisfied with service from Xnet.

Same thing happened here.
DNS servers down again.

Though everything seems to be working at the moment.

Can anyone from Xnet comment?
