Should it not pick them up automatically?

 

 

 

 

Yes..........automatically,

 

These are the correct DNS settings. I would ask VF staff if they advise you to use Google DNS because something has stopped working when it has work perfectly before, to look into it more or log a fault. There is no issue using Google DNS instead of the WXC/VF ones. The only thing is some content like youtube/netflix will be served from VF caching platforms when using the correct DNS. otherwise you will be getting it from overseas servers.

 

 

 

@ Jeff you say the app on your phone works when you couldn't access it from your pc. was your phone connected to wifi at all on the same LAN as the pc when this was happening. Because if it was working over the wifi on the phone but not on the PC, issue is pointing to pc setting.

 

WXC ADSL/VDSL/UFB]
Primary DNS: 58.28.5.2 (ns1.xnet.co.nz)
Secondary DNS: 58.28.6.2 (ns2.xnet.co.nz)

VF [WN & CH HFC customwrs only]
HFC primary DNS 203.97.78.43 (ns1.telstraclear.net)         
HFC secondary DNS 203.97.78.44 (ns2.telstraclear.net)

VF [ADSL/VDSL/UFB]
Primary DNS IPv4 (203.109.191.1)
Secondary DNS IPv4 (203.118.191.1)

 

Trust me these are the correct settings.

 

 >> was your phone connected to wifi at all on the same LAN as the pc

Yes.

PC and phone both on wifi.
PC didn't work using web interface
Android phone didn't work using web interface
Android phone DID work using cellular data
Android phone DID appear to work using android APP. But maybe  it was cached? I am 99% it wasn't though.

Regardless, it has worked without problem since the DNS numbers were put in.

Cheers
