Change DNS settings in xbox.

Post by cam80 »

Hi guys.
Sorry if this question has been asked before but I haven't found the answer.

Is it possible to change the DNS settings on my xbox. I don't want to change it at the router.
I would like to use tunlr to access the bbc. It works well on a pc.
Thx

Either at the Xbox level, or some routers may allow to change the DNS settings allocated through DHCP to clients - that way you can choose to publish say Google DNS servers, rather than the router's IP as a DNS IP.

Thx buzz. I missed it there. I'll try it.
Dan i didn't want to change it at the router because I then get geo blocked in my country when doing other things on the net.

Oh, one thing to keep in mind. If you change the Xbox DNS server to some external server, it probably won't recognize your local PC's by name... something to keep in mind if you find that's an issue.
