Normally my internet access is fairly good but recently I have had a lot of episodes of really bad response.<br>My connection is DSL through earthlink. when one of hese episodes happens, it usually seems to be<br>the DNS lookup that hangs. I find this puzzlling as frequently the message in the little window at the bottom<br>
of the browser is looking up the site I am already at. I thought the browser cached the sites it was on. But worse,<br>sometimes it ends up on the no such luck message from the DNS server. This was earthlink at first but I<br>
changed my config so that now it is openDNS. When this happens it doesn't seem to matter what site<br>I'm trying to reach. Sometimes I go ahead and open addiional tabs and try to reach several sites.<br>Then they all hang for a while then all the pages come up at about the same time.<br>
<br>Are other people having this kind of issue? I have thought it my be my ISP but the fact that I get<br>failure messages from openDNS seems to say this is a more general problem.<br><br>Richard<br><br><br>
