If I understand on the pvr are you have dhcp enabled and and have no manual configuration set on the pvr.
No, I don't have manual DNS configuration. I said that I use DHCP (automatic) configuration.
In one of the many combinations I have received the "" message,
Out of interest can you ping 008.008 with your iinet connection
Thanks

Whether you can ping 8.8.8.8 is independent of whether iiNets DNS works or not. Pinging an IP address (as opposed to a DNS name), doesn't use DNS. But anyway:
Cambyses:~ prl$ ping 8.8.8.8

Pinging 008.008.008.008 on my Mac doesn't work:
Cambyses:~ prl$ ping 008.008.008.008
ping: cannot resolve 008.008.008.008: Unknown host
Cambyses:~ prl$ ping x.y.x
ping: cannot resolve x.y.x: Unknown host
Cambyses:~ prl$
It looks as though ping might be trying to look up 008.008.008.008 as a DNS name rather than use it as an IP address. You should only use the leading-zero form on the Beyonwiz, not on computers.
