I've been having network trouble on my desktop. My open connections (IRC, SSH) seem to be unaffected, but as I make NEW connections, I'm often getting DNS lookups (after long, annoying timeouts).
I ran a 'ping sonic.net' (Sonic is our DSL provider), and noticed this: ... 64 bytes from www.sonic.net (209.204.190.64): icmp_seq=298 ttl=250 time=18.7 ms 64 bytes from www.sonic.net (209.204.190.64): icmp_seq=299 ttl=250 time=19.0 ms 64 bytes from 209.204.190.64: icmp_seq=300 ttl=250 time=17.1 ms 64 bytes from 209.204.190.64: icmp_seq=301 ttl=250 time=17.4 ms 64 bytes from www.sonic.net (209.204.190.64): icmp_seq=302 ttl=250 time=18.4 ms 64 bytes from www.sonic.net (209.204.190.64): icmp_seq=303 ttl=250 time=17.2 ms ... See how it suddenly went to 100% IP addr, no domain name, then came back? My major annoying symptom is: * Go to a website * Click a link within the website * Get an error that the domain name does not exist * Hit Reload a few times * Eventually land on the page I was trying to get to I'm running 2.6.20-16-386 on one of those Fry's "GQ" brand desktop PCs (the under-$200 ones they sold with Linspire a while back). It apparently has a SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet NIC. Google came up empty, so far (when I could connect to it :^) ). I think I'm going to power cycle the DSL modem, new wireless router, and switch under my desk. If it still keeps happening, I'll try swapping the DNS IPs I have in my /etc/resolv.conf to see if one fares better than the other. nameserver 208.201.224.11 nameserver 208.2.224.33 In the meantime, has anyone out here noticed similar probs. under Ubuntu lately?
