To test DNS, you can use nslookup. It's a commandline tool for querying dns servers.
1) Open up a commandline and type in "nslookup" and pressing enter (a prompt should appear waiting for input) 2) type in url's like google.com, facebook.com or ubuntu.com, etc... etc... followed by and enter 3) You should be getting responses in about under 1 second for each query 4) exit with "exit" If you get near instant responses, that means that DNS (over ipv4) is ok. Should you get very long response times, you're probably experiencing a different kind of issue than explained in the bug report. If this is the case, try changing Dns servers, for example OpenDNS. You can switch DNS server(s) by manually editing your connection in Network Manager, and selecting IPv4 "Automatic, only addresses". You should be able to edit the "DNS server" field. In there you can enter the following IP's: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 and repeat the testing process with nslookup Again if that fails, than I believe you are experiencing a different kind of problem. -- Abnormally slow network connections https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
