Facetime comes up with connection lost on IPAD 2.

Both have the latest operatinng system ios 6, that's Iphone 4 and IPAD 2. When trying to connect to Ipad from another distant Ipad , it does not connect, neither does the ringer sound. I have tried at home using my Iphone to ipad as well trying to connect facetime, still connection failure on ipad. ipad to iphone over wifi at home with a good signal, no response on ipad except - connection lost giving the call back or cancel options. nothing received on iphone. i have tried putting 8.8.8.8 in the wifi setting on the dns as some website suggested . when i use my iphone to connect to ipad via face time the ipad opens facetime with ringer - accept does not open dialogue and eventually comes up with connection lost, meanwhile iphone still ringing. So ipad opens facetime but does not connect. facetime icon on ipad desktop show missed call. Eventually Iphone says Facetime not available

I was having the same problem with my daughters iPod Touch 7th Gen. I googled for answers and found a post that helped me. If you go into your wifi settings and click on it you can change you DNS settings. I went with the google DNS 8.8.8.8 and Facetime was able to work with no problems right away. Sad that Google was able to solve my problem and not Apple... Oh well it works again 🙂

My dad had the same problem.. Turned out his wifi wasn't strong enough to make the connection but fine for the Internet. As soon as he had full strength wifi it worked
