i suspect that you're using their dns server because it's what is given to you via dhcp, but you can probably configure your own (well, you can certainly configure you own; the problem is it's possible that they are blocking dns requests). for example, set things to use 8.8.8.8 as the dns server (which is google's).
- teach 15y agoNo, we can't configure our own. The network settings config is locked out using policy controls.
- rdtsc 15y agoSupposedly there is a command line option in Chrome to specify a custom dns server. --dns-server=8.8.8.8 But it also looks like it doesn't always work (never worked, or is a special development mode only feature). Here is the bug report on it: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=85875 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=85875
- andrewcooke 15y agocomment 5 (in that thread, from the developer involved) says that it is working and testing it myself (google-chrome --dns-server=8.8.8.8) with wireshark shows that it does query that server. (thanks for pointing this out; it wasn't what i was suggesting - i had assume the laptop was the op's own).
