I tried Google Public DNS and its fast
My report shows almost 50% less latency but when I changed name server for one of domain
it took time to reflect that changes on my local PC and as soon as I changed it to Open DNS
I can see name server change

I thought that geotargeting was based on the correlation of netblocks with countries?

Hi, we are looking for a system to identify the general area of the country the post code is from and calculate the distance between NZ post codes. Will your info do this or can you suggest where we might be able to get this?

It contains every region, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to list the regions in the database as regions change depending on what source you look at.

It’s on the list of things to do.

Hi,

Thanks so much for this. Does it actually contain every region and it’s associate suburbs for NZ??

Thanks so much – > how do I make a donation?

Is there a way to determine the region by postcode e.g starting with a particular digit?

This is just what I was hoping NZPost would provide when they introduced the new system. Since then I have been putting off the evil day when I would have to do it myself.
My interest is I’ve set up databases for a number of not-for-profit groups to which I belong, with a button to look up the Postal code and insert it after they have typed in the address of a member.
To use this data in the same way, would I need to pay and to whom and what about NZ Post copyright. I don’t want any suprises down the track. So I’m asking before starting what will still be quite a lot of work

Comment on iPhone 3G and Linksys WAG54G v3 incompatibility by Essjay

Essjay — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:56:04 +0000

Ok, thanks to “mjsais” of the Apple forums I finally found my answer. Hopefully this will help someone else, as it had downright stumped me.

Answer: Change your network DNS address to the static IP of the router. Simple enough as the router knows all the ISP data, but damned if I’d thought of doing it.

In case this helps, I had the WAG54G V3 running on ‘G’ mode and using 1.00.46 firmware.

Interesting theories guys, but I’ve still got some problems I’m trying to iron out.

Last week I bought an iPhone 3GS, and was confounded that it wouldn’t work on my WAG54 V3. It would apparently ‘connect’ fine, but no internet data would actually pass though it (Safari would just say there wasn’t a connection). I upgraded the firmware (1.00.46), altered security settings, G-B or mixed modes, nothing has worked.

Does anyone else have this problem? I’ve tried it on other wireless networks and it works fine.

Long Distance Wireless Router…

Linksys really needs to come home to reality!! Our last two encounters with the customer service department has been quite unsatisfactory. When talking to the reps, it feels like you are talking to a rock or some being that is totally unable to think, …
