as suggested, doesn't work either.
So, I've just been putting up with the changing of dns server address
each time I boot my machine.
To 4.2.2.2 still, it seems.
Did you try using 10.1.1.1?
I just tried setting a static IP address and it doesn't work e.g. hangs
while connecting in browser or mail client.
There could be more to change along with that, like some obstacle at the
10.1.1.1 gateway.. but just getting it to stay working would suffice,
you say
No, I haven't been running a firewall
Suggest you do, once the connection is stabilised:
Synaptic - firestarter
Easy wizard to configure, then start it manually each session.
Behind an adsl router, however, i've seldom seen it have work to do.
and yes I guess Xtra's nameservers
should be appropriate, since that's our ISP.
There's a tab at the end of Networking - etho - properties
or somewhere, for disabling "use the isp nameservers"
- then you should be able to save your (re)setting.
Appreciate your help!

As always, sighting the network can offer new ideas. A housecall is
possible.
Good luck,
