    I am getting a lot of DNS errors on my PC. Between 11pm and 12pm last night, I could get a web page to open but once I jumped to another I would get DNS errors and "unable to load page". Even happened with google. This kept happening until it resolved itself at 12pm. Today, it has begun again. Took me a few trys to get into boards.

    Got rid of eircom router for a netgear one about 2 months ago and it has been stable. No record of error on the logs of the router but I don't think it will record that. When I go to the router page I can see that the connection has dropped. DSL sync line connected at a good point close to incoming from eircom. Reconnects on it's own a few seconds later. No other PC on the network at the time.

    Anyone else with these problems. Do not think it is within my network or phone line connections.

    There have been other posts about Eircom DNS being flaky these last few days. Switching to OpenDNS has helped a good few people.
