FWIW: 1. I'm having this problem intermittently 2. When it occurs on my Karmic box, it also occurs on a Windows 7 laptop (wireless) on my home network. 3. Other computers on the network (XP both wired and wireless) remain functional DNS wise, except that sometimes my web request to the router config page is forwarded to the Karmic box (see 4b below). Router reboot required to fix. 4. Upgrading my router (D-Link DIR-655) firmware seemed to help, but after three days of flawless function, the problem occurred again. I found that I had not checked the (new with latest firmware) 'Advanced DNS' checkbox in the router config. I checked that and rebooted the router. All is well since then, <24 hours. 4a. Because of domestic issues, I shut down all computers and the home network at night and reboot each morning. 4b. Port 80 is forwarded from the router to apache on my Karmic box. 5. My upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic (Kubuntu) is seriously broken. Only terminal shutdowns work (Bug#418509) K3b ruins disks but doesn't burn them and no media players function properly except vlc and totem. 6. A work machine with similar configuration upgraded to Karmic without incident.
