Internet Down? Try Public DNS

Currently the Midwest is experiencing an internet outage if you have Comcast service.

There is an Easy Fix.  It is down due to a DNS issue, just change your DNS settings to a Public DNS.

Google has free public DNS  servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Open DNS has free public DNS servers at 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

At a basic level you want to go to your network adapter properties, select IP version 4, and change the DNS servers.
