Internet Cable Help!!!?

Question

Hi, 
I am having huge internet problems today, so I was playing online with my PS3 and it seems that it disconnected due to a "DNS Error" honestly, no idea what this means, but I can make a guess it's about the router or something.. I'm not a pro at setting up these things. But I want to see if I can fix it. I tried resetting the cicso e2000, and a rca modem box. It still said there was a DNS error.. and me being me, I took off all the cables and I forgot where to put them, I'm using my phone's internet on my laptop right now, and this is the only thing that might help me.

So, I can obviously tell where the power goes and stuff, but there is a yellow ethernet cable, a blue ethernet cable, and a white ethernet cable. I've played around with them trying them in different ports and connecting it to the modem and such, and it is still not working saying DNS error.

Also, my lying piece of **** step-father said Sprint gave him a internet booster, I'm like what, no way. He said some bullshit story on how it increases your speed. I read up on it a couple of minutes ago and the reason I could barely play a ******* game on PS3 was because it uses my internet, alot of it. Any help will be super appreciated.. I'm just at a freaking loss here.

Hi,

DNS error has nothing to do with any device, it is a coniguration for your internet. D.N.S is just and IP address. The D.N.S. ip is Ip of a server (computer) whoes funtion is to translate ip address to domain name and vice versa 

Example; if you type www.google.com the DNS server will translate the domain name in the correct ip address, which is 74.125.224.72 in order to access the google server. You will have the same result if you type that address in your browser.

Therefore if you have any problem with DNS what you can do is to change on of the DNS ip to a workable DNS server in network setting of your device. I do recommend you tu use on of the public DNS service from google. The DNS IP are 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

For connecting back your device I recomend look for your router and your modem modem manual. If you can not find them you can always google them on the internet.

If you stillhave problem with connecting, probably you need to configure the device again. Again consult your manuals or call a technician just in case

Change the ps3 dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
The setting is in the network settings area (not sure exact steps as I don't own a PS3)

By default, most internet connected items use the router as a dns server. I've had numerous issues with the router DNS server failing. The IP addresses I gave you are google-hosted DNS servers.

you made a BIG mistake.If it was working then suddenly gave an error the cables could NOT be the problem. Use your brain. Resetting the router and modem  lses all their settings, you now need to configure then again. The colour of the cables makes no difference they are all the same. where they were plugged in does. if you did not take notes on where they were you are in real trouble. Simple solution, get someone who knows what they are doing to fix it. You will just keep making it worse. you are totally incapable of fixing this.
