Re: Loss of DNS? in Leeds 4 times in the last 6 days

@ Dan-

the traceroutes that you have posted show nothing about dns problems- every hop except for one resolved.

the one where you say it hung for 22seconds (195.66.226.185) doesn't have a domain name associated with it, so it is usual for there to be a pause while this is discovered.

The traceroutes seem to indicate packet loss problems, not dns problems- and pages loading slowly/ with bits missing would tie in with this.

A traceroute is not a good way of testing packet loss because of the way it runs. try pinging a host over a long period instead- try this at a command prompt:

ping 212.58.224.121 -n 100

and then post back the summary statistics. If you see any packet loss, try:

pathping 212.58.224.121 -n

and post back the results from that too.

@ Viras- PM me the mac address of your modem and i'll have a look at what is going on with your connection tomorrow.
