Hello Forum,
I understand that the DNS (primary and secondary) in my internet router convert URL requests into numerical IP address to use for retrieving the requested content from the web.
I have a host device that is skype enabled that stopped working (does not connect to the internet anymore) because it pings the skype.com and does not get a ping back (Microsoft disactivated the ping response).
How can I fix that?
Is it possible to block the pinging to www.skype.com and have the device ping something else? What changes should I make to the DNS configuration? I don't think my router let's me block certain URLs...If I managed, somehow, to place a block to www.skype.com on the DNS, also all the other host devices would not be able to connect to www.skype.com. Could I let the other devices access www.skype.com by tweaking things at the devices level (DNS configuration on each device)?
thanks,
