Title: Anyone else seeing DNS issues since Firefox 3.5.1 or 3.5.2?
Post by: Rik on Aug 06, 2009, 16:31:51
Perhaps coincidentally, since the updates, I've been seeing sporadic timeouts on resolving DNS (Firefox sticks on the 'looking up' message before failing). An immediate second attempt always connects.

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?

I've not noticed anything so far, Rik.  :)

Thanks, Ray.  :thumb:

I know Ray is on Max, so if you could indicate Max or WBC when replying, it might help narrow the search for the problem (assuming there is one and it's not just my browser setup...).

I am on Max, FF3.5.2, no problems with OpenDNS, nor Idnet's DNS. 

Try swapping the DNS IPs over so that you use the second by default.

Thanks, Alan, that's actually how I'm set up.

I have problems, but I'm not sure if it browser related or not, I only use FF at home. On Max
