Solved the problem. Found the addresses of my ISPs DNSs and programmed
them in. Much faster!!!
Thanks for the assistance, it is really appreciated. I should have
thought of this but I was blinded by my confidence in the new ADSL
router/modem.
Thanks again

cat your resolv.conf (cat /etc/resolv.conf)
then test each server by hand
ie
nslookup google.com 256.256.256.256
where the obviously wrong ip address is the nslookup server
are you using a billion router? i found that its internal name
server was 100% happy with windows but it seriously didnt like
unix clients.

My parents Dlink modem/router handled dns fine on Doze, but I had the
same problem as described in this thread on Ubuntu. To fix it I just set
the ip statically and tried a few different dns servers until I found
the best performing one and shoved it in /etc/resolv.conf
Since then, we have all noticed Ubuntu / firefox returning pages faster
than their old Doze install.
Hope that helps some
