I use OpenDNS exclusively, and have for about 6 years. http://www.opendns.com/ Never had any major problems. > It is not my firewall causing this problem.Using > arno-iptables-firewall on 6 dist's, 3 wheezy, 1 Testing & 1 Sid.

The System only has the gateway address of the router, and I use the router's built-in DHCP to assign the local network addresses, whether wired or wireless. Never any problems. I installed Wheezy with the Beta Installer a few months ago, updated & dist-upgraded it regularly to Stable status. Never any issues. FWIW, my system isn't a standard install. I did a Base install off the NetInstall CD, then added feature by feature, app by app to get what I wanted. Don't use a desktop environment, i.e. GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc., just a window manager--Openbox--LXPanel and Debian Menu. Have no session or login manager: Just boot to a terminal, login, startx. The hardware it runs on is 1 to 7 years old, depending on which piece of hardware. I initially custom built it in Dec 2006, but have added and changed hardware since then including replacing the motherboard about 3 years ago. The original suddenly failed. > 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. Well, something is wrong. Do you have the same problem whether you're using your ISP's or Google's DNS? Are you running your own router software or do you use a stand-alone like I do? Dynamic or Static IP?
