[quote]I'm making a new topic to reach out to people using the google DNS fix. Keep in mind, the google fix will not work for everyone since some people will receive banjo error codes. I've included ways to get back online, along with the google DNS method. Okay, so you can use OpenDNS OR google in place of you current ISP's DNS to get you back on destiny if you keep receiving error codes & servers are down messages. Go into Settings > Network > select manual DNS. If you want Google DNS, enter 8.8.8.8 as the primary number and 8.8.4.4 as the secondary (it can be reversed and it'll work just the same). If you want to use OpenDNS, enter 208.67.220.220. into primary and 208.67.222.222 into secondary. Some people are now receiving BANJO errors after using the google DNS values, so I recommend the OpenDNS if you fall into that category. Once the values have been entered, your xbone, ps4, etc. will check connection after you hit B to back out to the dashboard and it'll say the connection is good. Restart your xbone (or ps4) BEFORE trying to jump back into destiny otherwise it won't work. Google might be a bit faster, but OpenDNS is more secure and has been around a bit longer (if that sort of thing matters to you). Hope this info helps and gets you back online Guardians!! btw..... this is sounding like a comcast/xfinity issue, so if you can't get online and you have this ISP, you might wanna manually change your DNS to the values listed above. Good Luck!! [b]EDIT:[/b] OpenDNS seems to be more reliable than google DNS. If it doesn't work for ya after you've entered the primary/secondary numbers, try swapping secondary for primary and primary for secondary. That seems to be able to resolve the issue in some cases. Hopefully that'll work for everyone who's still unable to get it goin. EDIT #2: I'm glad to know that these methods have helped out a bunch of people!! Now, keep in mind that changing your DNS to one of the provided numbers is only meant to be a temp fix for when you can't get online due to these error codes & should be changed back to your original DNS settings (done by selecting automatic settings in the DNS menu) after the problems go away. This is a helpful fix to get back online in Destiny when certain cable companies experience ip/dns problems or when Bungie's servers act up with error codes, but this shouldn't be a permanent fix. Just want everyone to be aware of that. Also, [u]please keep in mind that this won't fix everyone's problems[/u]. Some people who have been messaging me from around the world have said it works great (more so using OpenDNS), but some people will still experience the same error codes. This could be due to your location or a variety or other factors. I just want to make some people aware that this temp fix might not help everybody. Sorry, but that's just how these things work sometimes :([/quote] Thank you for the fix, I never tried the google dns but the open works fine for me :) will pass this thread on to anyone experiencing the same problems. Again thank you.

No idea what I'm doing wrong. My internet has been fine for so long with rarely and error codes and now this. I tried OpenDNS i tried GoogleDNS and neither worked and now it's the day of HoW and I may not be able to play... Thanks bungie...

It didn't help. But thanks anyways.

Great advice, absolutely absurd that a solution has to come from a community member when there's been absolutely nothing helpful from bungie at all. I've been using 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 for a while but still get the errors, tomorrow I will give the open DNS's a go.

It worked dude!! Thanks

Servers imploded a moment ago; banjos playing weasels abound.

Just did open dns (xbox one, charter internet) worked great. Thanks man

Whats a banjo error?

May work for some ... many make it worse for many more. The location of your DNS will depend on how quickly it resolves the host, and a slow resolution could mean more errors - not less. Be best to test the IP of the DNS before changing it within the router ... just saying. Does bungie support or recommend this change ... and more importantly why?
