I have felt the same pain and it was due to my Actiontec DSL modem's shifty DNS server. Despite trying to override the settings in the modems interface, it always includes itself in the list of DNS servers assigned by DHCP. My cure was to assign the nameservers manually and not use DHCP on my non-Windows gear. Ignore me if the Actiontec hunch is not correct.
