OK - here's a weird one for you.
Last month I had a funny DNS outage - could connect to my ISP (freenetname at that point) but couldn't collect mail, or ping/surf any web addresses, or use IRC. I fiddled for a day, then went to bed. In the morning everything was ok. This month, on the _same_date_ (27th - binary implications?) the same thing happened. Using a different ISP (ntlworld) although still with the DNS from freenetname as one of the 3 addresses in /etc/resolv.conf. This month I have been running Firestarter firewall, but last month I didn't even know about it. Other than that, everything is the same. And the problem resolved itself after a day again. Any ideas what might be happening?
