No Proxy here and I am using my providers DNS Server as well as Google
8.8.8.8 & 4.4.4.4

It is not my firewall causing this problem.Using arno-iptables-firewall
on 6 dist's, 3 wheezy, 1 Testing & 1 Sid.  The DNS problems are only on
the 3 Wheezy dists.  The Oldest wheezy dist was installed when Squeeze
went stable and it was not having this problem until Wheezy went stable.


I don't know if the problem was in Squeeze or not.  I seldom used it as
it had problems with X so my primary dist wad Wheezy.


Thanks, again, for the reply though.
