Answer 1

Hmmm - DNS can be a very fickle critter to get setup correctly....



Are you using "fixed" DNS, in other words do you have those DNS IP Addresses entered into your network configuration information for the Ethernet interface??? If you are - are you connected to your ISP provider using DHCP??? Most of the time your provider's DNS is the DNS you should be using - not an "outside" DNS. If you are running DHCP to obtain your IP address and your modem is connected to a router (wireless or otherwise) the router obtains it's Internet IP address, Gateway and DNS information from your ISP provider's site - and you would configure your DHCP to obtain it's IP Address, Gateway and DNS automatically - usually the DNS IP address is that of your router and the router handles the DNS requests to the outside world.



Now - if you are not using a router you still should have your DHCP configured to obtain the DNS settings automatically so your ISP DNS information is used instead of setting up a static DNS IP address(s) - the reason is some ISP providers "block" outside DNS access, mostly to keep DNS poisoning down (whole 'nother topic!) and by attempting to use an outside DNS the ISP provider may be limiting access to it (them).



Does this help??

Answer 2

If you can't get a good connection to your DNS servers, call your provider. They own (or pay for the use of) those servers. From you to your DNS server should be Ethernet all the way (unless someone is running an ISP out of his garage).

Answer 3

i suggest you call your ISP since they're the ones who knows how to handle such problem
