Answer» Quote from: Quantos on August 10, 2009, 08:41:23 PM I can't display the page. I assume that means that Shaw hasn't YET adopted this foolish nonsense.Shaw... That's available where I LIVE.

Yet another Canuck?Quote from: Quantos on August 10, 2009, 08:51:23 PM Yet another Canuck?You didn't know that? I created a controversial topic because of what REALLY stupid Americans think about Canada. Quote from: Helpmeh on August 11, 2009, 05:37:49 AM You didn't know that?

I don't recall that, it could have been before I arrived.Quote from: JJ 3000 on August 09, 2009, 10:25:03 PM My ISP has started doing this crap now too. Did you opt out through: http://search.suddenlink.net/prefs.php -- It also appears that this is yet another company that resolves DNS hijacking through the cookie approach, which really isn't resolving the issue, simply just working around it by not displaying the search page. So it could also be that you've been opted out, but the cookie handling is just displaying a different type of redirection. I've also updated the below DNS hijack definition to have a listing of all major ISPs and direct links to their pages containing help or information on how to opt out. Thanks Nathan, but I'm lost tryingto opt-out. I don't know what to enter for my dns address. Changing it is the only way I can get rid of the "helpful" search page by Rogers. Nice move Nathan Qwest has the same type of page when a domain can't be found. Why can't you just click the opt out link?Rogers is so over-freakin'-complicated.

Changing it is the only way I can get rid of the "helpful" search page by Rogers. Rogers method of opting out according to their site is to change the DNS address to an alternate server. Really unfortunate for the customer that they have to RELY on another service just to do something they don't want, but it appears this is the only method. So you'd need to change your DNS address to an alternative server. Suggest TRYING OpenDNS addresses as shown below. DNS1: 208.67.222.222 DNS2: 208.67.220.220 That's sure nice of Rogers. They sure have customer support down pat eh?Nice one quantos, and thanks again Nathan. |
