+!! Problems with Routers
+
+Xtra now gives out routers to new customers. These are D-Link models (502, 504T), which can lead to connection problems. (This is a D-Link issue). The DNS will not work correctly, and IP addresses will resolve to 10.1.1.1
+
+My solution was to edit resolv.conf, and then lock the file. This will cause problems if you want to switch networks, but the file can always be unlocked and changed. I was also suggested an alternative method which I have not tried.
+
+My method:
+
+Open your /etc/resolv.conf and set valid DNS-servers
+<code>sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf</code>
+
+For Xtra they are (at 19/04/07)
+202.27.158.40
+202.27.156.72
+
+Now save the file.
+
+Lock it with <code>sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf</code>
+
+This will permanently lock your DNS-values. (to unlock, use chattr -i)
