Hello, you can make a "manual" lookup in a shell: $ nslookup www.foo.bar and see if it takes too much time. and you can check the file /etc/resolv.conf and try to add more DNS servers. For example, the ones from OpenDNS [1]: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 [1] http://www.opendns.com/ Best regards, Sergio Cuellar -- "Meine Hoffnung soll mich leiten Durch die Tage ohne Dich Und die Liebe soll mich tragen Wenn der Schmerz die Hoffnung bricht"
