Greeting my fellow Orange sufferers,

My Orange BB has been working fine for several months now, with only the occasional disconnect at weekends.

This week I've had a completely new problem, with the DNS server. I don't have a static IP, so each time I connect the relevant IP addresses for DNS, default gateway etc. are set by PPP/DHCP.

The problem is that sometimes the configured DNS servers appears not to be responding to lookup requests. If I fire-up a network analyzer on my ppp0 interface I can see the DNS requests going out to DNS servers at 195.92.195.90 and 195.92.195.91, but no response comes back:

Code:

[root@smoothwall root]# tcpdump -i ppp0 -n -s 0 -v
16:01:36.937866 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], length: 58) 84.65.206.193.32769 > 195.92.195.91.53: [udp sum ok] 21766+ A? google.co.uk. (30)
16:01:36.937866 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], length: 58) 84.65.206.193.32769 > 195.92.195.90.53: [udp sum ok] 21766+ A? google.co.uk. (30)
16:01:36.937866 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], length: 58) 84.65.206.193.32769 > 195.92.195.91.53: [udp sum ok] 21766+ A? google.co.uk. (30)

Pinging those IP addresses works fine.

I could probably by-pass this issue by using someone elses DNS, but the problem was getting online to find that information!

Has anyone else had this problem?

Would anyone like to suggest any alternative DNS address to try for Orange, or elsewhere?

Ironically my Orange link went down again while I was scribing this. It's almost like they *know* when I want to do something constructive...

Cheers,

Dave

Like a lot of others although im no longer with Orange i use OpenDNS
Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220
Should work fine ive never had any probs with them u can also configure ur browser to them IP's within IE which will reflect if u use FireFox as i do.
