Normally this would go away within a few minutes but it became increasingly annoying as it began to affect my ps3 and xbox aswell.
I googled and came on here but found nothing (could be due to my searching skills leaving alot to be desired).. but then i found opendns.. its a free to use service which replaces your ISP's DNS servers..
Since using them, i've not had a single problem. They offer a few extras on top of just the more reliable DNS service, but you need to sign up (free) for those.. if you just want to use their DNS servers they are right there on the page fo ryou to input.. take a look.

Danmed, I've been having problems with DNS lookups for the past two weeks. I can ping with no problems and my speed is OK - can get up to 19mbps on the downlink, but resolving an address can be horrendous.
I've been looking at OpenDNS and it seems you can change the DNS addresses on your router or your PC, which method did you go for?
