First thing to try if it wont work is reboot the router. This will sort it out more often than not.

You could always try OpenDNS, search this site for it. Takes no more than 5 minutes to set up and takes Sky's DNS server's out of the equation.

Well, as our good friend James67 would say...

In windows XP

1. Start the telnet daemon using the Mognuts utility page
2. Telnet to the router by doing Start->Run then typing telnet 192.168.0.1
3. Type the following commands
   • nvram set wan_dns1=208.67.222.222
   • nvram set wan_dns2=208.67.220.220
   • nvram set wan_fix_dns=1
4. Reboot the router
