I've been experienceing pr0blems browsing on an intermittent basis for a few months now in Norwich. It all seems to stem from the DNS. I can be browsing about then suddenly I get a 404 - Page cannot be displayed/Cannot find server.
Everything checks out fine in ipconfig - usual IP and DNS from router.
Check the router - can log into that OK via browser - IP and DNS from sacm OK.
Reboot everything - SACM, Router, PC and still the same.

If I change the DNS servers to another public DNS in my network card settings, my web browsing starts up immediately. I try not to use the public DNS unless I have to, so end up changing back to auto-config for the DNS. Sometimes it's working again, others it isn't. Is there a known fault with the NTL DNS? Or anybody else having the same problem?
