Re: Possible DNS Problems
Hello, Have a look at the different ad.doubleclick.net addresses included in the web site. Find out the ip address and put them in your /etc/hosts file like this: 206.65.183.95 ad.doubleclick.net 206.65.183.95 uk.doubleclick.net 206.65.183.95 ad.uk.doubleclick.net 195.154.195.154 ad.fr.doubleclick.net This will solve the loading time of the different websites with konqueror, firefox etc( sticking to load 90% of the images of the web site). This issue doesn't seem to exist when you use Opera.
