Sir Shuping is just sir liked this
In case lib tech support gets questions about this on Monday. There's some oldish malware out there that messes up domain-name resolution (the system that turns www.example.com into the IP address of its host server). The Feds took over the command-and-control servers but are shutting them down Monday, such that infected computers won't have working DNS.

"Your IP is not configured to use the rogue DNS servers." They make it sound like a bad thing?

"If you would like to go rogue, press 1."
- Chris Z.
in this case, it's actually a good thing! and yes, that phraseology is poor.

My first reaction was "Well, dammit, what configuration was I supposed to use then?" :) Thanks, though, this is great to know ahead of time. It will be interesting to see how many people are affected.
