Yes there 'could' be something hidden. Finding it now would be like do-it-yourself eye surgery unless you monitor it using a tranparent proxy.

You clearly 'had' one problem with DNS. Try using another DNS. e.g. edit /etc/resolv.conf and put as the first line:- nameserver 8.8.8.8 (or add it as the second nameserver) When you do have network try testing other DNS, including the Skymesh ones, using namebench:- # apt-get install namebench Some info on your ISP's DNS:- http://www.dnsinspect.com/skymesh.com.au You can also speed things up considerably by avoiding the whole DNS relay problem altogether by putting the IP address of sites that use static addresses into your hosts file:- root@vbserver:~# ping -c1 debian.org PING debian.org (128.31.0.51) 56(84) bytes of data. <snipped> root@vbserver:~# echo "128.31.0.51 debian.org" >> /etc/hosts Now connecting to debian.org doesn't involve the computer having to ask the DNS for the IP address as it gets it from the (hosts file in less than 128ms). > >> OR:- >> https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Sun (Oracle instructions) > > <snip> > > Thanks once more for the follow up. > Have a good new years day. > Thanks. Great day so far in Canberra. Hope the weather's fine down South.
